“Then came the fever dream: Desdemona’s Dream. I don’t even fully know how to describe it, but I’ll try. Imagine a California-based music collective fronted by a literal AI robot who writes its own songs and performs them with the icy cool of a glam-rock android from the future. Desdemona, our silicon chanteuse, rolled out on stage with glowing eyes and perfectly timed vocal modulation that somehow toed the line between unsettling and awe-inspiring. The tunes oscillated between hauntingly surreal and oddly catchy. One moment she was lamenting the fragility of human connection, the next she was belting out something that sounded like Daft Punk got lost in a poetry slam. The whole set was like drinking absinthe with a sentient Roomba who’s also your therapist.”
