Algorithmic Accompaniment by njk

Algorithmic Accompaniment seeks to sonically explore the emotional disconnection that deepens as we embrace a vision of progress, highlighting the alienation that comes with the pursuit of a digital Eden. Using heavily manipulated and degraded stems to craft dystopian, retrofuturist, and non-sellable jingles, the record reflects on our growing dependence on AI systems and how they risk sidelining essential human values like empathy, intuition, and social connection. This tech-driven narrative, with its focus on productivity and profit, raises urgent questions about power concentration, bias, control, inequality, privacy, and the erosion of personal autonomy.

By weaving together the voices of various artists, the project aims to craft a tapestry of experiences that invites listeners to reimagine how we relate to one another and to our increasingly mediated world.

Is this truly the unicorn paradise promised by Silicon Valley—or something far more troubling?
