If a voice assistant were to learn to speak as a human infant does, through vocal experimentation and play, what might that sound like? And if this learning process were to unfold in the context of an experimental avant-fusion band, what kind of unexpected and unconventional music might be the result?

Questions such as these are interrogated and – perhaps – even answered throughout composer Kaj Duncan David’s new work bearing the playfully unassuming title.

The music takes the listener on a trip through places that are at once both humorous and delicately moving.
