Feature documentary following YACHT during the research, composition, and recording of the album Chain Tripping. Working with technologists and leading AI researchers, YACHT uses cutting-edge data analysis tools, machine learning, neural networks, sci-fi instruments, and generative composition strategies to create a new kind of human-machine music—melodies, lyrics, artwork, videos, and all. Putting AI to the test in the name of art, YACHT are guides through the brave new world of machine intelligence. Along the way, they question their own roles in a future where software anticipates, generates, and synthesizes human work.
