LIST PICK
AGAAMA BLACKBOX ORACLE
'Blackbox Oracle' is a thoroughly fascinating new single form boundary-pushing Birmingham artist, composer, vocalist and producer AGAAMA. Set to feature on their forthcoming Wandering Worlds EP, the futuristic track utilises synthetic-sounding vocal samples, played like keys, jolting through the mix. Combining modern, complex beats with ethereal sound effects as well as organic elements, including saxophone, the sonically ambitious work centres around AGAMMA's explorative and engaging vocal melodies. Describing the track best in their own words, "Blackbox Oracle is about our relationship with technology and how humankind draws closer to the singularity - the moment in time where the capabilities of AI will overtake the abilities of the human brain. Blackbox Oracle’ is the name of an imagined ‘AI’ lover…imagine being in bed with an algorithm that knows everything you want. AGAAMA questions whether their relationship with ‘Blackbox Oracle’ is toxic and if they will or should survive the singularity." -Holly Mullineaux
