“attention span” digitizes human intimacy into a warped commodity, ready for consumption. sounds in the album were obtained via consensual field recordings of couples, who met on online dating platforms, having sexual moments. these recordings were processed into samples and pads, then harmonized with cello, double bass, voice, and choir chants. this sonic dehumanization mirrors the state of modern courtship in the digital era, painting a bleak picture of contemporary relationships that have been subsumed into a culture of consumption and disposability, reduced to short-term iterations drained of real, meaningful human connection.
the debut album by hundredmillionthousand. nine tracks that recontextualize persian folk songs, chants, tombak and taiko percussion into experimental hip-hop structures and haunting electronics. the work maps the interior architecture of mental illness and fractured collective identity, featuring contributions from rappers cab’ral and kurai.
