Watch ‘Harrison Ford’:
The music video for ‘Harrison Ford’ was created in collaboration with members of Spirit Bomb’s community. Spirit Bomb distributed remixable 3D assets via their Discord, and community members put their spin on the content. The result is a collectively produced collage piece, and will be the first of many Spirit Bomb community projects. As he grows, LV4’s fans will be able to continue to shape his future through creating and curating his music, and contributing to his narrative evolution. Those who contributed will each own a stake in the subsequent NFT drop, alongside the musical collaborators, which will take place on Foundation
On production duties for the track are the Nashville-bred, LA-based team Two Fresh, who have built a reputation for their undeniable ability to produce beats which blend bass-dominant hip hop and electric synths. Two Fresh are regarded as pioneers in the experimental music realm and have worked with the likes of Mac Miller, Vic Mensa, Towkio, Joey Purp, and Cherub.
Adding vocals to ‘Harrison Ford’ are NY based seasoned hip hop staples, The Underachievers, who have collabed with Flying Lotus, Talib Kweli & more. Their extensive catalogue includes releases on FlyLo’s Brainfeeder, and they’re also part of the supergroup Beast Coast with childhood friends Flatbush Zombies and Joey Bada$$.
LV4 alone has amassed a loyal following, with over 140k TikTok followers and previously collaborated with Mr. Carmack on ‘Run It’. He recently paid a visit to humans via debut live performance at The Shrine in Los Angeles opening up for Zed’s Dead, see video here.
On December 8th, the incredible visual world of LV4 will come to life via an IRL appearance, a DJ set in Los Angeles at Mack Sennett Studios. Utilizing the 3D LED technology pioneered by 3D Live, which produces a holographic effect of dimension and space, LV4 will take us not only on his latest sonic journey (with the likes Flying Lotus, Mr. Carmack, The Underachievers) but a visual one as well, one that traverses the Metaverse as LV4 harnesses the energy of his newfound creativity to subvert chaotic ghosts within the machine. Tickets for the event can be purchased at https://spiritbomb.ai/LV4-Live.
Spirit Bomb is a virtual artist collective representing ‘Spirit’ AIs visiting from the not-so-distant dystopian future, sent back by prodigious child scientists to prevent the future destruction of humanity. With knowledge of a potential looming apocalypse, the virtual beings must work collaboratively with humans to avert disaster, and set humanity on a peaceful and productive course.
Named after LV4’s virtual praying mantis, ‘Harrison Ford,’ serves as a prime example of the collaboration between virtual artists and humans. It marks the 4th release from a Spirit Bomb virtual artist, following previous releases with producers Mr. Carmack, Sweater Beats, Salva, Huxley Anne & Tsuruda. Spirit Bomb will continue to offer a platform for further collaboration from fans and artists alike.
Spirit Bomb was launched by Strangeloop Studios, the digital art studio that has designed the original tour content for The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Flying Lotus, Lizzo, SZA and more. While SLS recognizes there will never be a replacement for the power of human performance, the creation of these virtual beings offer audiences something new, different, and exciting, functioning as unprecedented tools for an expression of human creativity.
Each virtual being is a vessel for creative collaboration between human artists. Rather than using artificial intelligence (AI) to bring virtual beings to life, Spirit Bomb creates the semblance of intelligence and autonomy for its characters through community participation.
Bridging the gap between human and virtual worlds, LV4 shows no signs of being waylaid on his humanity-saving mission.
