Multifaceted artist and producer ILÄās work traverses ethereal, non-binary vocal timbres with dense sonic textures, consistently pushing the boundaries of sound by exploring the intersection of human creativity and technology.
Their latest single, āmurmurā, elevates this experimentation to new heights.
Collaborating with AI.Mogen, an AI version of Imogen Heap, the track carries the familiar shiver of Heapās vocals. ILÄās harmonies provide a grounding presence, while the flickering, unpredictable AI elements give the track an otherworldly quality that prickles the senses.
Co-produced by Heap herself, āmurmurā is a bold leap into the future of music, where AI and human artistry can coexist harmoniously.
The process of working with these digitalised voices was transformative for ILÄ. āAlmost everything you hear, aside from maybe the kick drum, comes from this AI hybrid of mine and Imogenās voices... like fractals, revealing more detail as you zoom inā, they explain.
Heap echoes this sentiment, reflecting, āCreating this mash-up of our voices was really fun... There were all these sounds that we couldnāt physically create, yet they originated from our voices... I loved the freedom, almost the frivolity, of itā.
