Air Chrysalis

Air Chrysalis is a two-piece visual and sonic culture-jamming art project, informed equally by the analog dreamscape of hauntological retrofuturism and emerging niche aesthetic technologies. The duo released their debut full-length Miniature Comet in 2022, which LEO Weekly called an &#34;ethereal masterpiece,&#34; with a &#34;kaleidoscopic sound that leans into striking shoegaze and hazy groove-heavy pop.&#34; Their latest, &#39;Eliza and Parry,&#39; expands on this sound through a sweeping concept album, featuring guests <a href="spotify:artist:22nc9FAVCCXceXWaYLTWO0" data-name="Lacey Guthrie">Lacey Guthrie</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:21tqMEtICaVEpiMvBLJxFk" data-name="Phourist &amp; The Photons">Phourist &amp; The Photons</a>. Named after the two early versions of chatbots from the &#39;70s, one an empathetic Rogerian psychotherapist and the other a sophisticated paranoid schizophrenic, ELIZA and PARRY were nascent yet groundbreaking tools in the development of early machine learning. This record represents the ambience and tenor of this dialogue through a dozen songs split between the imagined artificial experiences of both Eliza and Parry, and its larger implications with humanity.
