London, Sept 6 (ANI): Former Golden Silvers vocalist Gwilym Gold has released his debut album in a new format that will never let the listener hear the same music twice.
Gold developed the system, called Bronze, over two years, with producer Lexxx and scientists from Goldsmiths University in London.
It allows the tracks on 'Tender Metal' to mutate every time they are played.
"We felt it makes the music more engaging, similar to a live performance," he told the BBC.
"Every time it's played, it's renewing itself.
"As a writer, you can listen to the songs a lot more often without them becoming stagnant. That's very much the hope for the listener as well," he said.
The seven songs on 'Tender Metal' are, broadly-speaking, moody electronic pop. They do not change radically from one play to the next - you will not suddenly stumble across a thrash metal incarnation, for example.
But Gold said that there are "infinite" possibilities. One track, Flesh Freeze, evolved subtly over several listens.
Verses drifted in and out of view, while synthesizer phrases and drum loops were pulled apart, sustained and reconstructed from one play to the next.
"You could listen to it billions of times and it wouldn't be the same," Gold said.
Some sounds were recorded in a conventional studio, while others are generated in real time by the programme, which knows vital information about the tempo, structure and key of each song.
The Bronze app, and therefore Gold's album, is currently only available for Apple formats such as the iPhone and iPad.
He said there were no plans to release a "definitive" version of the record as a CD or download. (ANI)
