AI Antichrist by HYPERCUBE
Hypercube’s one of the many aliases Rodrigo Passannanti uses for his more abstract and experimental projects. The first time I stumbled across his music was through a label I seriously miss – Paracusia Media. I was absolutely gobsmacked by the hyper-futuristic vision in both the composition and the sounds, not just from Rodrigo but from other cracking artists too. Let’s hope this label gets back on track and blows us away again with its brilliant stuff.
On the flip side, once I started digging deeper, I realised Rodrigo’s got a seriously long musical career. He’s been at it since the early ’90s, diving headfirst into the electronic scene. Over the years, he’s cooked up loads of interesting stylistic ideas and even teamed up with some big names like Andy Hughes from The Orb and Michael Allen from Wolfgang Press.
In the author’s own words:
Hypercube’s latest emergence within the sphere of technological abstraction and experimental, asymptotic sound art offers a provocative meditation on the fading pulse of human creativity and algorithmic conventions of contemporary AI-driven composition, questioning the standardised outputs that such synthetic intelligence often produces, and reasserting the urgency of human conceptual exploration in electronic music.
