about

[unity] is an electronic concept album embodying a sentient artificial intelligence as it has a nervous breakdown. The music itself attempts to capture the character of the AI, Xorn and how it expresses itself and the things it is experiencing, almost as if it were speaking to the audience through noises only a computer could produce.

The piece pulls from a variety of different sources for its general sound, utilizing elements of 8bit/chiptune music, acid jazz, progressive rock, ambient soundscapes and contemporary concert music to play out the narrative.

Glitches play a huge part, both in acting as musical representations of the issues Xorn is attempting to cope with and as the driving aesthetic of the album as a whole. These glitches and other material end up becoming recurring motives throughout, interconnecting and influencing one another attempting to create some sort of [unity].
