Algorithmic Accompaniment by njk

Algorithmic Accompaniment seeks to sonically explore the emotional disconnection that deepens as we embrace a vision of progress, highlighting the alienation that comes with the pursuit of a digital Eden. Using heavily manipulated and degraded stems to craft dystopian, retrofuturist, and non-sellable jingles, the record reflects on our growing dependence on AI systems and how they risk sidelining essential human values like empathy, intuition, and social connection. This tech-driven narrative, with its focus on productivity and profit, raises urgent questions about power concentration, bias, control, inequality, privacy, and the erosion of personal autonomy.

By weaving together the voices of various artists, the project aims to craft a tapestry of experiences that invites listeners to reimagine how we relate to one another and to our increasingly mediated world.

Is this truly the unicorn paradise promised by Silicon Valley—or something far more troubling?

njk is a new collaborative project founded by Nueen and Jason Kolàr. With a solid background in exploring the wide spectrum of electronic music through their solo work—featuring releases on labels such as Hyperdub, Stroom, Good Morning Tapes, 3XL, and Mondoj—they set out to create a space that connects diverse subjectivities to delve into contemporary themes.

Composer and producer from the island of Mallorca.
