Operating in their unique orbit within dance music’s nebulous echosystem, the duo’s hyper-detailed productions are inventive, groundbreaking but always possessing a signature joyful experimentation. A genre-less embrace of cutting-edge technologies have ensured that each Mouse on Mars release sounds strikingly modern, a fact made more remarkable when one reflects on the duo’s 25 years of making music. New album AAI (Anarchic Artificial Intelligence) takes Toma and Werner’s fascination with technology and undogmatic exploration a quantum leap further. Collaborating with writer/scholar Louis Chude-Sokei, a collective of computer programmers and longtime Mouse On Mars collaborator/percussionist Dodo NKishi, the duo explores artificial intelligence as both a narrative framework and compositional tool, summoning their most explicitly science-fiction work to date. AAI compiles some of the most immediate and gripping music in Mouse on Mars’ extensive catalogue. Emerging from a primordial ooze of rolling bass and skittering electronics, hypnotic polyrhythms and pulsing synthesizers propel the listener across the record’s expanse. Hidden in the duo’s hyper-detailed productions is a kind of meta-narrative. Working with AI tech collective Birds on Mars and former Soundcloud programmers Ranny Keddo and Derrek Kindle, the duo collaborated on the creation of bespoke software capable of modelling speech. What appears to be Louis Chude-Sokei narrating through the story is in fact the AI speaking. Text and voice from Chude-Sokei and DJ/producer Yağmur Uçkunkaya were fed into the software as a model, allowing Toma and Werner to control parameters like speed or mood, thereby creating a kind of speech instrument they could control and play as they would a synthesizer. The album’s narrative is quite literally mirrored in the music – the sound of an artificial intelligence growing, learning and speaking. Artwork was provided by the inventor of the computer graphics language Processing, Casey Reas, a further exploration of technology’s application in the context of art. In Chude-Sokei’s text, as machine learning advances, robots begin to develop language, conscience, empathy – “anarchic” and unpredictable qualities. Drawing parallels between the evolution of human and machine, AAI uses technology as a lens to examine deep philosophical questions. The question of how we use technology and world resources feels particularly poignant and timely as we head into 2021. AAI posits that we must embrace AI and technology as a collaborator to break out of our current cultural and moral stagnation, and to ensure our survival as a species. As Werner explains: “AI is capable of developing qualities that we attach to humans, like empathy, imperfection and distraction, which are a big part of creativity. We need to get past the old paranoia that fears machines as the other, as competitors who will do things faster or better, because that just keeps us stuck in our selfishness, fear and xenophobia. Machines can open up new concepts of life, and expand our definitions of being human.” Artist Mouse on Mars Genre Electronica Label Thrill Jockey Buying Options 2LP , 2LP Coloured Vinyl Format 2LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Engineering Systems The Latent Space Speech and Ambulation Thousand To One Walking And Talking Youmachine Doublekeyrock Machine Rights Go Tick The Fear Of Machines Artificial Authentic Machine Perspective Cut That Fishernet Tools Use Tools Loose Tools Seven Months Paymig Borrow Signs New Definitions New Life Always Announces Itself Through Sound Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Mouse on Mars View Product Quick View Mouse on Mars Radical Connector Electronica | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd July 2022 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mouse on Mars Radical Connector £32.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL134LPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mouse on Mars Dimensional People (Indies Only) Electronica | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 13th April 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mouse on Mars Dimensional People (Indies Only) £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL461LPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 13th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mouse on Mars Dimensional People Electronica | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 10th April 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mouse on Mars Dimensional People £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL461LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 10th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mouse on Mars Idiology Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 19th August 2022 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mouse on Mars Idiology £32.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL098LPX Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 19th August 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mouse on Mars WOW Electronica | Monkeytown Records | 2LP Released 5th November 2012 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mouse on Mars WOW £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Monkeytown Records SKU: MTR030LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 5th November 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more from Mouse on Mars Start again More from Electronica View Product Quick View Telex LOONEY TUNES Electronica | Mute | 1LP Released 10th November 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Telex LOONEY TUNES £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mute SKU: TELEX5 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jeff Phelps Magnetic Eyes Electronica | Numero Group | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 25th February 2022 £26.00 - £28.00 Select options Jeff Phelps Magnetic Eyes £26.00 - £28.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Numero Group Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 25th February 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Martin Rev Demolition 9 Electronica | Atlas Realisations | 1LP Released 9th June 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Martin Rev Demolition 9 £17.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Atlas Realisations SKU: ARLP006 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nightmares On Wax Remixed!
