"Adam, Maximalism" is now live, exploring the intricate dynamics of our relationships and the conflicts that shape us, even through the lingering pain. The newly released of the AI short movie aims to portray this kind of formative violence in both its positive and negative forms. 9DEN and Christian Kondic chose AI for this project because they believed it was the most free and expressive medium for capturing such a raw idea. Their goal was to highlight the often inhuman aspects of how we relate to each other.

Following the groundbreaking POST GENRE trilogy, the anonymous electronic project 9DEN is back today with "Adam, Maximalism." This project, staying true to 9DEN's spirit of experimentation, pushes sound and emotion to new extremes, offering a varied and instinctive listening experience.

The just-released "Adam, Maximalism" AI Short movie focused on relational conflicts and the traumas they leave behind. The movie represents this formative violence in both positive and negative aspects. 9DEN and Christian Kondic chose to use AI for this project, as it is the most liberated and suitable form of expression for such a visceral concept. Their goal was to show the most inhuman sides of human relationships.

The mixtape includes a mix of instrumental tracks, structured songs, and free-form pieces, with contributions from various artists like Jen Jen, Deepho, Keith Blonde, boyrebecca, Aaron Rumore, and Angelo Kras. Additionally, it features remixes of works by artists such as Juck, ELEONORA, and Ceri, giving their pieces new interpretations.

This collaborative masterpiece brings together elements from some of the most intriguing names in the new generation of Italian artists. The project was preceded by the single "That pogo was the happiest moment of 22," released on March 22. Its announcement was paired with striking 3D visuals created by the Genera collective and enhanced with AI by Christian Kondic. These visuals show the symbolic rebirth of 9DEN through music, leading to the creation of infinite replicas, highlighting that while an individual may perish, their ideas live on.

Today, on July 10, 9DEN releases "Adam, Maximalism AI Short Movie, a remix compilation created by 9DEN’s vibrant community. This release aims to democratize the creative process, allowing fans and fellow artists to reinterpret the original mixtape with their unique perspectives and styles, resulting in a collective artwork rich with diverse viewpoints and personal interpretations.

Affiliated with the TEAMCRO collective, which includes artists like Deriansky, Deepho, and Michael Mills, as well as creatives Nic Paranoia, Giorgio Cassano, and Bruno Raciti, 9DEN embodies the spirit of relentless experimentation. By breaking away from predefined genre boundaries, 9DEN creates a deconstructed, visceral post-pop sound that retains melodic moments amidst sharp rhythms and distorted voices. From the POST GENRE trilogy to today's release of "Adam, Maximalism," 9DEN continues to push the limits of musical innovation, moving ever closer to a digitalized, post-human existence.
