Holly Herndon, the acclaimed Berlin-based artist, performer and composer, has released ‘Eternal Re-Imagined’, a new version of the original track from her groundbreaking 2019 album PROTO.

Released as the album’s first single, ‘Eternal’ was a bold introduction to the concept of PROTO, which used A.I. program ‘Spawn’ as a member of the ensemble alongside a Berlin-based choir. Remixed and re-orchestrated by renowned composers Vince Pope and Alex Davies, ‘Eternal Re-Imagined’ offers a fresh take.

Of the reworked track, Vince Pope says: “I first saw Holly Herndon perform at the Barbican Centre in 2023 and was immediately captivated by her performance and her music. It felt like something very fresh and innovative – which isn’t always easy to find in today’s world. I became fascinated by her approach and the embrace of AI in creating something on the fringes of electronica and avant-garde music. I approached Holly to re-imagine and re-orchestrate ‘Eternal’, using the vocals but going in an almost opposite direction by arranging the piece for string orchestra. And in doing so hopefully coming full circle to achieve something totally unique and new.”

Especially relevant now in an era where Artificial Intelligence has recently come to the forefront of popular culture and is increasingly influencing much social and political development, PROTO stands strong as a euphoric and principled statement setting the shape of things to come.
