Announcing MUTUALISMX, a new record by 𝔥𝔢𝔵𝔬𝔯𝔠𝔦𝔰𝔪𝔬𝔰 and a host of special collaborators who used his incredible SEMILLA.AI software to become one another through sound and neural networks to create new music. The majority of A.I. art at this stage works with “big data”, taking ideas from the cultural canon and muddying them with our contemporary reality. 𝔥𝔢𝔵𝔬𝔯𝔠𝔦𝔰𝔪𝔬𝔰 offers a counter narrative: a bottom-up approach. Using “small data” to interrogate his idiosyncratic approach to art; he built a tool called SEMILLA.AI based on neural audio synthesis that could not only mimic his sonic fingerprint but transform it into another. So when he offered the synth to his network of collaborators, he gave them the option of either using only their data or sharing the signatures of each other artist involved in the project, blurring their identities into a mutual voice. The result is a compilation that unspools with the coherence and fluidity of a single-artist album or adventurous DJ mix, genreless and boundless but unified by a singular message.
