A Modern Tragedy - We've All Been Replaced - Red Note Jazz

This release is conceived as a single formal statement rather than a sequence of isolated works. The ensemble operates as a closed system, governed by proportion, restraint, and internal negotiation. Materials are introduced cautiously, allowed to test their weight against one another, then withdrawn or redirected without resolution. Balance is not achieved through symmetry, but through sustained tension and calibrated absence.

The recording is a conceptual ensemble work realized through human artistic direction with artificial intelligence employed strictly as a formal analytical and generative instrument. Artificial intelligence is used to examine pattern, proportion, ensemble behavior, and long form balance, always subordinate to human judgment, historical awareness, and aesthetic intent. The result is not a document of performance, but an archival construction, shaped to resemble a historically situated artifact. What emerges is an argument in sound, disciplined, unresolved, and deliberately constrained, reflecting an era attentive to structure over display and continuity over event.
