Lyric

Before & After Artifact is an electronic album that explores the emotions and confusion that emerge at the boundary between AI, humans, and the information-driven society.

The title refers to the "artifacts" - the traces left behind before and after a process. While calculation and optimization attempt to organize the world, errors, noise, and sensations that cannot be fully explained inevitably remain. This album quietly focuses on those byproducts: the subtle feelings and sense of dissonance that arise from within the system.

Drawing across elements of chiptronica, hyperpop, and IDM, the music ranges from light, playful electronic tones to hard-edged beats. Through these shifting textures, the album portrays the delicate fluctuations and temperature gaps between algorithms and human intention or emotion.

Between digital logic and human intuition, between efficiency and uncertainty, small misalignments begin to appear. At times with a touch of humor, the album gathers these moments and presents a psychological landscape of a world in which humans and AI coexist.
