A complicated teenager stumbles into a forgotten hollow and encounters a strange hermit with truth growing on his shoulders who offers enigmatic insight and an otherworldly therapy session.
The world began with the Big Bang, we are told the walls of Jericho were decimated by trumpets, to music being used as torture or control, to persuade or even calm, to the soundtracks to war and music for revolutions. What is music and sound's relationship to control and power?
We have channeled this question through candid conversations with neural networks, by training machines on a collected sonic and visual history of noise, metal and rock music, as well as music that is sacred and spiritual. The project explores ideas around music as a weapon, as a cultural shifter, manipulator, unifier and ultimately, as a force.
The result is a non-stop fictional band performing endlessly, 24 hours a day. As the music infinitely changes, unique combinations of sound and visual will never be repeated. We have collaborated with AI music pioneers, Dadabots, combining machine learning, audio-responsive assets & procedural visuals inside VRChat to create a fully immersive real-time interactive environment. We are sonically at the mercy of the machine, as one never knows what will be performed on arrival.
Based on a novel of the same name by Stephen King. Combining elements of psychological horror and romance, main character Lisey (depicted as a puppet) is pulled between worlds of imagination, reality and fantasy as metaphors communicate the character’s emotional and psychological states.
