Kasabian headlining Neighbourhood Weekender 2022 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Kasabian will playing summer outdoor shows around the UK.
Kasabian‘s new track Algorithms is described as ‘Serge vs AI’.
“The track distinguishes the difference between human and machine thought/emotion, so we employed a design process that makes a point of both physical and digital techniques wherever possible,” Serge Pizzorno said.
“Typesetting the artwork, preparing the video on screen, and then physically scanning the artwork and re-filming the animation with hand drawn markings overlaid.”
Facial animations were created by feeding a neural network imagery of themselves, asking it to dream up beings that exist latently between the band. The final file was then re-filmed on a bespoke display, not illuminated by RGB pixels but instead magnets, physically moving coloured particles around the screen.
It was co-produced with Years & Years, Hot Chip and Bad Boy Chiller Crew cohort Mark Ralph.
