AGENTS OF ESU'S QUANTUM WORLD

0

Agents of Esu’s Quantum World» is a multiplayer VR experience where participants assume the role of Quantum Bits (qubits), collaboratively forming a quantum circuit through their interactions. This circuit is processed, and its outcomes reshape the performer's environment. In this project, participants embody Esu, the Orisa (deity) of Crossroads and non-determinism, becoming creators of quantum algorithms. Like Esu, they navigate endless possibilities before making a choice. In a society driven by hustle culture,

it poses the question: what happens when the 'performance' of life no longer guarantees future rewards? Can insights from the òrìṣá Èṣù and Ifá texts provide guidance for navigating uncertainties in emerging technologies? By extending performance beyond the stage into daily life, the project explores how quantum processing might shape the future, with our actions influencing technological progress. The project delves into the individual's role as an active agent in a sea of possibilities, influencing the world around them.

EVEN THE WOKE SLEEP

5

Even The Woke Sleep - is a sonic 

escape and an exploration of spaces where the lines between awareness and dreaming blurs, it blends hip hop, psychedelic trap, and afrobeats into an expansive narrative. The EP explores some dualities of existence —navigating the pressures of the 

pursuit of success, the allure of indulgence, and the inevitable 

moments of vulnerability. A cross between euphoria and disorientation.

CHEMICAL X

4

Chemical X is XO Dini’s debut EP, named after the chemical that gave the Powerpuff Girls their powers—a metaphor for substance use. The EP combines themes of personal 

conflict, grief, and emotional pain with celebratory excess. While 

predominantly hip-hop, it features experimental sounds, including 

manipulated field recordings.

TEARDROPS

Teardrops is a project by MadStew, an audiovisual collective, the story is set in a world called "Luvstalgia." A haunting exploration of heartbreak, grief, and emotional detachment, captured in two evocative tracks that weave together raw lyricism and atmospheric production. This project immerses the listener in the depths of  emotional turmoil, where love and loss intertwine with memories of better days and the bitter aftertaste of disillusionment.In the world of Teardrops, the pain is masked by bravado, tinted windows, and tinted emotions.
