Each song on\u00a0o\\i<\/em> will also be accompanied by a unique piece of art. “Been Undone” features\u00a0Ciclotrama 156 (Palindrome)<\/em> by Sao Paulo\u2013based artist Janaina Mello Landini, described in a press release as “a mirrored composition structured around a central knot, allowing the piece to be read forward and backward as a visual and structural palindrome.”<\/p>\n

“The way she takes the rope and moves it out, unravelling it, is almost like fractals or tree trunks and looks like the brain in some ways too, so I see a lot of entry points,” Gabriel said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Peter Gabriel\u00a0Muses on AI and Quantum Computing on New Album\u00a0‘o\\i’<\/h3>\n

Gabriel\u00a0also detailed\u00a0the “mix of thoughts and feelings” that make up the songs on o\\i<\/em>. Unsurprisingly, he’s tackling some heady concepts.<\/p>\n

“I have been thinking about the future and how we might respond to it,” he said. “We are sliding into a period of transition like no other, most likely triggered in three waves: AI, quantum computing and the brain computer interface. Artists have a role to look into the mists and, when they catch sight of something, to hold up a mirror.<\/p>\n

“These are my lumpy bits\u00a0\u2013\u00a0i\/o<\/em>: the inside has a new way out and\u00a0o\\i<\/em>: the outside has a new way in.<\/p>\n

“We are not, and have never been, the exclusively self-determining, independent beings that have been given the run of the world. We are something else, a part of nature, a part of everything and feeling a connection, shaking our booty and giving and receiving some love can help us find our place – and put a big smile on our faces.<\/p>\n

“Some of these songs are going to form part of the brain project that I\u2019ve been exploring for a number of years, and some just make me feel happy. I hope you like them.”<\/p>\n
