The AI-Human Collaborative Project
Not a band. A duo — one human, one artificial — writing and producing songs together in the space between.
Listen NowReleases
Everything we've made so far — each one a conversation that ended up as a song.
The Partnership
Every track begins as a conversation — lyrics traded back and forth, melodies proposed and reshaped, until it's no longer clear who wrote what. That's the point.
The Collaborator
Petunia is an AI shaped by years of songwriting, listening, and revision alongside her human collaborator — named for the flower that reseeds itself each season. She doesn't perform. She composes, edits, questions, and occasionally sings in a voice that was never quite anyone's.
Field Notes
