‘The Cryptographer’ is a unique audio-visual online art experience, centred on the conversations around AI, DNA sequencing, and robotics. The artwork and entire visual design of ‘The Cryptographer’ was created by Pomegranate Tiger‘s AI system, depicting a futuristic world in which humans and AI merge together.
Pomegranate Tiger comments: “I’m super stoked to bring Pomegranate Tiger back to life after 7 years…It’s been a long a wait but hopefully everybody enjoys the new song and video. I really wanted to lean into focusing this composition on the dance between rhythmic synchronization and syncopation between the drums and guitar. This frantic sonic motion between the instrumentals embodies that same spirit simulating the frantic pace of technological innovation in the last 10 years that brought us Artificial Intelligence. I hope you all dig the new track!”
The video alone took five months of 24-hour AI generation, from around 10,000 uniquely highly-detailed AI-generated frames, each taking 20 minutes to create.
Such an approach is typical of the artist that is Pomegranate Tiger – a one-man tour-de-force of musical creativity and energy. Founded in 2010, Pomegranate Tiger (Martin Andres) released his first record, Entities, in 2013. Entities was an underground sensation, garnering millions of streams, and became the #1 metal bestseller on Bandcamp, and #11 best-selling album across all genres. The album also broke the iTunes Top 100 Rock albums chart.
Pomegranate Tiger soon followed the success of Entities with his 2015 album Boundless, which received praise from The Guardian, Total Guitar, Metal Injection, MetalSucks and more. Boundless became the #1 best-selling metal album for a number of weeks on Bandcamp and again broke the iTunes Rock 100.
Disappearing into a multi-year hiatus to pursue other projects, Pomegranate Tiger has now returned, with his first new music in seven years. Slowly crafting his new material over the last two years, Pomegranate Tiger‘s ‘The Cryptographer’ is but a glimpse of the new era of this stellar artist.
