A.M. Architect - Hydra
A.M. Architect presents: Eli
Great vibes here from Audio + Visual Art by Diego Chavez & Daniel Stanush
A.M. Architect, longtime friends and collaborators Diego Chavez and Daniel Stanush, perform while generative visuals react to the audio they’re creating.
“We use a program called TouchDesigner, so it’s all in real time,” says Chavez, whose myriad roles include digital media artist, technologist, and producer. That technological curiosity, that bold desire to merge disciplines, animates their third and finest full-length album Avenir, outthis Friday, February 7th.
The album showcases the duo’s multifaceted approach to electronic production, with Stanush’s musical training and melodic sensibility guiding Chavez’s knack for soundscapes and sonic manipulation. The result is a rich tapestry of pulsating beats, grainy loops, cinematic sensibilities, and charged vocal samples that cull from sources as varied as old crime movies and obscure country singers.
You can hear there distinct style living and breathing in the final single and visualizer for "Eli,"out today.
The track tactfully evolves from its ambient sheen into an uncoiling beat that's dotted with distinct vocals and moody production flourishes.

Atmospheric music
For A.M. Architect, everything is interactive. A concert by the electronic duo isn’t just a concert. It’s a multimedia installation, a visual show, an interactive technology demonstration, and more. That technological curiosity, that bold desire to merge disciplines, animates A.M. Architect’s upcoming album, Avenir, out February 7th, 2025.

Architect released the new single “Petrichor” from the album. On it, they create an airy electronic backdrop that comes alive and shape-shifts into different forms as guest vocals from Delenda (perviously heard on their track “Avenir”) tactfully encircle these production flourishes.
Stream Petrichor:
A.M. Architect is the audio + visual duo Diego Chavez & Daniel Stanush. Chavez and Stanush work together to utilize both classic and innovative approaches to their art – blending guitars, rhodes piano, and film with machine learning, generative art, and live-coding to push their audio and visual work closer towards becoming a singular articulation of their ideas and themes.

A.M. Architect presents: Hydra
New material from the audio and visual art project by Diego Chavez & Daniel Stanush.
Hydra offers a glimpse into a place where technology has evolved to offer near-limitless creation, and a group of elusive tech-savants that turn their abilities inwards to create a new vision of themselves - will technology bring lead them to nirvana or is their self-experimentation blurring their essence and identity?
Hydra was created through generative, machine-learning technology, incorporating a workflow moved from storyboard to Midjourney image generation, producing over 1,500 still images, to video utilizing @runwayapp and Stable Diffusion, before being run through a @touchdesigner network that switched between videos in synchronization with music, before finally running through a circuit-bent @bpmcanalog video mixer to add noise, grain and glitch effects.

The new single “Hydra” is an intoxicating swell of sputtering, polyrhythmic beats and soulful vocals. With a two-step beat and undulating synths, the song achieves a lush ambience reminiscent of Boards of Canada, and crystalized some of the new technical approaches for A.M. Architect as well. The video features imagery created through an audio-reactive touch designer network that would change video clips based on audio input—a play on the central theme of using technology to change how we’re perceived and what that means for our identity.

A.M. Architect’s new LP ‘Color Field’.
“Color Field—the newest A.M. Architect audiovisual album—is a subversive tale about a young lady’s magnetic draw towards a cult-like pseudo-scientific research institute in rural Texas. Color Field features a narrative short film directed by A.M. Architect, as well as a unique sculptural design object (designed & produced by 79Ancestors) which plays the soundtrack via a built-in speaker, emitting colorful waves of light which can be modulated with a series of visual effects control knobs. Dubbed the Spectrasphere, its’ video content and interaction design were inspired by speculative “color therapy” instruments offered through the films’ antagonist, The Spectra Institute. The unique and limited design-object-as-album picks up where Deru and EFFIXX left off with the labels’ genesis piece, The Obverse Box (from the “1979” project). Constructed from a solid block of intricately-milled walnut, the external design details and unique, luminous mood-enhancing visual language make Spectrasphere an artifact intended to evoke wonder and inspire those who gaze into its’ hypnotic lens.
