In March 2026, I pushed my Infinite Black (IB) universe into new territory with an experiment I called Infinite Black: Artificial Reality.
The concept was simple: writing set to music — a compilation-style soundtrack inspired by the iconic film albums of the ’90s and early 2000s, where artists from different genres came together to build a sonic world around a story. Those soundtracks didn’t just support the film — they expanded its atmosphere and mythology.
With the central antagonist of IB being a rogue A.I. entity known as Mother, it felt fitting to blur the line between creator and machine. I used the A.I. music platform Suno to perform the musical role, while GPT assisted with song structure and additional lyrical development. The collaboration between human intent and artificial execution was both conceptually aligned with the IB universe and creatively surprising in its results.
Below are a few sample tracks, along with a link to download the full album.
Artificial Reality is designed as an immersive listening experience — a personal soundtrack for me to use while creating new IB imagery and spark further (non-A.I.) creative writing within the universe.
