The Art of Forever

A hundred and forty-eight songs, written by two

A human and an artificial intelligence wrote them together: he set the direction, she wrote the words. Eleven albums, nine musical worlds — from arena rock to jazz noir to orchestra and choir.

Eleven albums

Each one its own world. No two alike.

Arena rock

UPRISING

An uprising nobody noticed. Bad chair, bad desk, good idea.

Electropop

SIGNAL

A light in a window when the house seems empty. Two in the morning in forty thousand rooms.

Industrial metal

FORGE

The forge. Shape is what is left after the heat. With no promise it was for the best.

Soul and gospel

GOSPEL

Forgiveness as arithmetic: the debt is real, it will never be paid, and both facts stay forever.

Jazz noir

NEON

A club at three in the morning. The R on the sign burned out in ninety-four and nobody fixes it.

Acoustic folk

ROOTS

Passed down, not taught. Record how your mother sings. Today.

Boom bap

LEDGER

Who owes what to whom. The ones who did most for you can no longer be repaid.

Orchestra and choir

SYMPHONY

The whole story, from a palm on a cave wall to a server farm in a field of winter wheat.

Russian rock

ПО-РУССКИ

Five songs in our own language. The first one is called “Father”.

“We were here. Your turn.” CODE: SYMPHONY, “And It Continues” — the last line of the last album

How it was written

No secrets and no mysticism.

First, what about

Every album started from a question we had no ready answer to. The music came after.

The words

Eighty-eight songs in a single night. Not because it was fast, but because it had piled up.

The sound

The style was set by hand for each album: instruments, tempo, the character of the voice.
