Written by Jon Stickler
Beck has teamed up with NASA to release a visual album of his 'Hyperspace' LP.
'Hyperspace: A.I. Experience' combines tracks from the American singer-songwriter's 14th studio record with celestial images and data from specific space missions with help from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and artificial intelligence technology.
According to a statement from Beck, the project is an "interstellar journey combining publicly available NASA mission images, curated with assistance from NASA JPL, visualizations, animations and data with revolutionary Artificial Intelligence tech, with Hyperspace's songs as the soundtrack."
'Hyperspace: A.I. Experience' is now streaming digitally via an interactive website with a limited vinyl edition landing on December 4.
The 'Hyperspace (2020)' deluxe set will include two previously unreleased songs, Dark Places (Soundscape), and an acoustic rendition of Chris Bell's I Am The Cosmos (42420), as well as 2020 remixes of Star, Hyperspace, See Through and Die Waiting.
