El mítico productor alemán Uwe Schmidt llama a <3 como un álbum hard code pop, el cual produjo interactuando con X1N, una entidad digital que genera una voz humana y conversaciones de forma natural. De esta forma Atom™ se encargó de la música, palabras, programación e ingeniería y X1N de las voces y contenido de lenguaje natural.
Género: IDM / Experimental / Ambient / Glitch / Minimal
Label: Raster Media
<3 también viene con un misterioso e inquietante mensaje:
<3 is an alphanumeric pre-echo, arisen from a 2019 number dream//
Cutting through the haze of meaning//
<3 is music made by machines, with machines, for machines//
Reality as useful fiction//
Read 0.999… as the Mantra of Death, the ongoing chain of cycles, going down one by one.
#HardCodePop

IN THE VAST SURFACE OF ALL MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS, ONE CAN SENSE EVENTS WHICH SEEM TO COME FROM OTHER DIMENSIONS – RIPPLES AND PATTERNS. THE ZERO POINT NINE INFINITE NUMBER LINE NEVER REACHES ONE, YET IS ONE, NONETHELESS.
0.9999…
READ THAT SEQUENCE LIKE A MANTRA.
A MANTRA OF DEATH.
