I see shadow planets I see hidden worlds I see ancient ruins Under cold dead suns Shadow planet! Shadow planet! I want to go there I want to go and stay Watch the sun fade slowly Watch the stars decay Hey! Shadow planet… Watch the sun fade slowly Watch the stars decay Hey Shadow planet

Could you rise Could you rise Could you rise Could you rise Could you rise Could you rise Could you rise Could you rise Could you rise Could you rise Dead will speak The dead have something to say Could you rise Could you rise Could you rise Could you rise Could you rise Could you rise The dead will speak The dead have something to say to you, sir So set out the pretty dishes Let them taste your food The dead write letters The dead inquire The dead have something to ask of you, sir

When the moon is bright I see the ghosts Rising from their graveyards I watch them walk through the streets Calling the world to join them Oh they blow their horns They bang their drums Lift their ghostly voices They're coming closer now I hear their chants Singing out their sorrows Oh

about

The rules for this album were simple but strict:

▪ We traded only mono cassettes; no digital files, no documents, no other information or intention. The choice of what material to use — and what not to — was entirely up to each tape’s recipient.

▪ When Robin received a tape from Jesse, full of interesting musical fragments, he selected his favorites and used them to prompt an AI trained on decades of recorded music. Robin also provided the text of lyrics, guiding the machine as it generated responses that were by turns strange and surprising, frustrating and beautiful.

▪ When Jesse received a tape from Robin, full of these AI responses, he raised traditional musical scaffolding around the material, working both with and against it; making nice furniture out of funky driftwood.
