Written and conceived by Stephan Crasneanscki, \u2018LOVOTIC\u2019 is a concept album by Soundwalk Collective, composed in collaboration with lauded actress and singer\/songwriter Charlotte Gainsbourg, Featuring veteran techno stalwart Atom\u2122, rising singer\/composer\/performance artist Lyra Pramuk, celebrated actor Willem Dafoe, and writer\/philosopher Paul B. Preciado, the album will be available from April 1st via the new Berlin-based Analogue Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by a relatively new field of research that seeks to explore and develop the possibilities of sexual and emotional relationships \u2013 and even love \u2013 between humans and robots, \u2018LOVOTIC\u2019 interrogates the impulses, ideas, and needs underlying this phenomenon. The project ventures into a future where sex, intimacy and desire are reformulated through the connection of humans, robotics, and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an age of such hybrid entanglement with the machine, human identity requires the construction of new forms of intimacy, gender, and sexuality. At present, however, such technologies are primarily used to produce programs of limited sexual iterations that do not question the preformatted categories of gender and sexual orientation. In contrast, on \u2018LOVOTIC\u2019, Soundwalk Collective ask whether the future of sex and sexuality could instead be an exponentially expanding kaleidoscope. Where does the impulse of preference come from? What sets of words from our vocabulary can be communicated to the AI mind to generate a new identity for desire? Could the machine be another technology that brings us closer together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonically \u2018LOVOTIC\u2019 is unidentifiable, artificial, and genuinely futuristic, occupying an amorphous androgynous netherworld at the borderlands between biotic and android. Traditional musical signposts are virtually non-existent, instead offering a mercurial, formless sound which mirrors the flourishing of gender fluidity it suggests could be on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018LOVOTIC\u2019 is available as an artist edition double LP pressed on transparent vinyl, featuring a hand engraving on each side. It includes a 16-page booklet containing lyrics and painted artwork, both by Stephan Crasneanscki.
