The Riverside and Lunatic Soul mastermind Mariusz Duda's 2023 solo album explores the concept of AI as disruptor and looks at the growing commodification of AI (as artificial intelligence enters the mainstream).

 

Using the notion of ChatGPT and Midjourney and the increasing use of deep fakes as a springboard, AFR AI D explores these forward thinking theories musically just as much as it does conceptually.

 

In a world where truth is often camouflaged by deception the electronic heartbeat of AFR AI D can never lie. Or can it?

 

Regular collaborator Hajo Müller (Steven Wilson) is once again responsible for the artwork

 

Mariusz performs all the instruments throughout the album with the exception of the guitar solos (by Mateusz Owczarek of Lion Shepherd).

 

AFR AI D was recorded throughout May and June 2023 at Serakos Studio in Warszawa, with engineering by Magda and Robert Srzedniccy and mastered by Robert Szydło.
