It’s “Alpha Go” with New Stream from SHANGHAI RESTORATION PROJECT

“Alpha Go” is the latest song to be released from Brooklyn based electronic duo, Shanghai Restoration Project (SRP) from their new album R.U.R.. The record was self-produced and recorded on their own in New York over the last year.

When speaking about the track the duo said, “Alpha Go’ is a tribute to the recent defeat of the world’s top Go player by a Google developed AI. The song assembles a match between two melodies, an airy and abstract one representing AI and a more intense and emotional one representing humans. The abstract melody, steady paced but taking sharp turns with nimble precision, is delivered by a computer manipulated female human voice. The emotional melody, jittery and reactive to the challenging chords of the AI voice, is channeled through a piano played with skillful yet frustrated hands.”
