MURMER FILM PREMIERE

The Murmur premiere: Special screening and Q&A hosted by ILĀ

Article Published 18th October 2025 

EXPERIENCE THE PREMIERE OF MURMER AT THE FUTURE IS SOUND 2025.

MURMER IS A HAUNTING MEDITATION ON AI, GRIEF AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ALIVE. ILĀ AND HUMANOID ROBOT ARTIST AI-DA COLLABORATE ACROSS THE BOUNDARIES OF BIOLOGY AND CODE.

Trained on the lyrical DNA of ILĀ and Imogen Heap, Ai-Da generates poetry in response to ILĀ’s film Daffodil, weaving a dialogue on memory, consciousness, and transhumanism. Innovative AI visuals featuring XR models of Ai-Da and ILĀ challenge our perception of artificial intelligence and its ability to reframe human self-awareness. Murmur invites us to witness the evolution of emotion through the lens of technology.

The cinematic, downtempo soundtrack by ILĀ features the world's first quantum synth and pioneering AI tone transfer production techniques alongside artistic collaborators Imogen Heap, Guy Sigsworth, BISHI, Portrait XO, TRANS VOICES, Jake Miller, Reeps100 & Cherif Hashizume.
