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.

Kristen Pilon & Demdike Stare
On their most explicit venture into music for moving image, Miles Whittaker & Sean Canty rudely fracture piano and vocal recordings by US filmmaker-musician Kristen Pilon in a short-circuiting of style and pattern that arguably amounts to some of their best yet on DDS. Yup it’s uncanny dream-within-a-dream type gear, landing somewhere between their commissions for Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza and creeping classics by The Caretaker.

Ak’chamel, The Giver Of Illness
For over 15 years Ak’chamel have been cutting off the foreskin of enlightenment with a rusty castrator while tuning their broken lutes to the frequency of a prophetic meteor shower. Their live performances? Pure gonzo bedlam which drags listeners, kicking and raving, through voracious, anthropologically cryptic rites. Ak’chamel recklessly unravels the fabric of reality, stitches it back together with bloodied barbed wire, and hands you the fucking needle.

Ellen Arkbro, Hampus Lindwall, Hanne Lippard
Hanne Lippard, Ellen Arkbro, and Hampus Lindwall’s How do I know if my cat likes me? is an existential meditation on the empty expanses of our automated everyday—corporatized minimalism tinged with cool formalism, structured by the deft deployment of sonic and lyrical repetition. By untethering sound from meaning through a pleasurably numbing cycle of repetition, the album satirizes the stultifying aesthetics of alienated life—from hold music to online banking—with a prim, deadpan delivery.
