Data Séance is the 7th album by audio/visual duo Zebbler Encanti Experience (ZEE). This album represents the A/V duo’s descent into their most ambitious material to date: exposing the hidden depths of deconstructed glitch-bass music that can only be conjured through an algorithmic communion with data.
To produce the sounds of Data Séance, Encanti captured the likeness of ZEE in several neural networks, trained to generate infinite variations of ZEE music. Some neural networks were trained “wrong” on purpose to generate colorful variations, and some sounds were fed back into other neural networks. All told, over 20 hours of neural audio was generated to be sampled for this record, in what might become known as perhaps one of the earliest examples of a bass music producer using custom AI to create a sonic mirror.
ZEE’s approach to using AI-generated media celebrates the artifacts of the medium, drawing upon the obscure glitches and uncanny ghosts in the hallucinations to reveal hidden structures in the data and processes themselves, while blurring the lines between what is and is not real. Through this practice, Data Séance aspires to summon apparitions from a space that lies beyond the algorithms, drawing into question the very nature of perception in the face of openly artificial realities.
