about

A mess of crucial numbers derived from conversion, transposition, impulse,
and history. An album is located utilizing these numbers
in ways prescribed or found by sharing/chance. Within: a
“controlled” data breach –facial recognition data, genetic
sequences, vocal synthesis, and personal taste– fodder to
the endless flows that replicate & brew, voluntarily or
otherwise. Hermiticism Redux: a perfected predictive
stand-in via dregs of the self –a digital homunculus to
market/market to– babbles endlessly aware of its own
(im)potence. True Escape: impossible exchange deferred.
Crucial & invaluable data warped, scrambled, and reformulated into music obscuring the
set/value as it flows. “Voice” & “likeness” open sourced. Deliberate spirals to incredulously
obliterate (in)credibility. The Game: to poison the set and create/train a being of no
value; a truly useless and ‘pataphysical being. “Tofighi’s Basilisk”.

Method:
1: Samples/sets of vocal tracks for training an AI for AST speech synthesis.
2: Genotypes converted into MIDI & physicalized via analog & FM synthesis.
3: Genotypes converted into MIDI & applied to acoustic instrument imitations.
4: Facial recognition data from GAN derived deepfakes of AST converted into MIDI.
5: AST speech synthesis applied to instant memory derived libretti & debt leveraging.
6: Crucial tracks assembled to be dumped into a neural network to churn out more.
7: Track 6 analyzed & brute forced into MIDI data: Abject MIDI applications vary.
8: Cover utilizing brute forced MIDI, vocal samples, & AST speech synthesis.
