A hundred new remixes of the song “Riquiquí”, from her fourth studio album, KiCk i have been released by Arca.
“Did you know that up until now I had never allowed anyone to remix an Arca song?” the musician writes in an Instagram post about the new collection, titled Riquiquí;Bronze-Instances(1-100). “There existed 0 official remixes to an Arca track until today.”
The remixes come courtesy of Bronze, a new AI music tool which has also been used to create a new version of Jai Paul’s “Jasmine”.
“I’ve worked with Bronze once before,” adds Arca. “In 2019 I gave musical language to Echo, a musical being birthed into the Museum of Modern Art’s lobby, and then Echo began to speak of its own volition. There you will never hear the same thing twice – for two years it is an ever-morphing stream thanks to Bronze’s trained yet unpredictable musical AI.”
“I recognized the textures and melodies, but never the song — for a composer such as myself it remains something truly new which I had never experienced before, a moment of unforgettable experience in virtue of the mystery and wonder Bronze makes possible.”
The artwork for the new remix album, which also appears in Arca’s Instagram post, features a QR code that, when scanned, directs you to a live transmission of a “forever-mutating instance of the song”. The 100 “unique instances” shared on streaming services last just short of six hours.
