Ancient Psychic Triple Hyper Octopus is a new trio uniting three of London’s eclectic musical talents; Alex Bonney (Leverton Fox, Brass Mask), Will Glaser (Sly and the Family Drone, World Sanguine Report) and Isambard Khroustaliov (Icarus, Fiium Shaarrk). ‘Put Emojis On My Grave’ will be their debut album, set for release on the 23rd May 2025.
The trio’s music has been described as “devotional music; music which seeks solace in the myths, mysticism and prophecies of a ‘high dimensional’ AI ‘renaissance’, whilst eschewing the hyperreal aesthetics and stereotypical narratives of platform capitalism’s endless franchising and repackaging … (the) music is no longer ‘composed’ in the tradition that informed the rise of both classical ‘Art Music’ and ‘Pop Music’ of the 20th century, but, adopting the language of AI’s deep learning failures and glitches, (the) music is ‘hallucinated’ via successive iterations of ‘emergent improvisation’, a process that embraces the idea that a complex entity has properties or behaviours that its parts do not have on their own and which emerge only when they interact in a wider whole.”
The origins of the trio lie in the DIY heartlands of North London’s Haringey Warehouse District’s New River Studios where all of the members can be found either performing or supporting other artists regularly. The album title ‘Put Emojis On My Grave’ is a quote from the song ‘Dumbest Girl Alive’ by 100 Gecs.
