Album Notes & Community Reviews
In a groundbreaking fusion of technology and art, the electronic composer heavily utilized a custom-built artificial intelligence neural network, nicknamed 'Spawn', to help generate this album. The project fascinatingly blends harsh, futuristic club programming with sweeping, human vocal choirs and the AI's own garbled interpretations of the singing. It serves as a highly optimistic, collaborative exploration of the creative potential between humanity and machine learning.
