New message from Mark Redito (via Bandcamp)
This song was written around the end of 2022. I met Levi through a musician community called Songcamp. I spent many hours talking to Levi about music and musician sustainability. I always knew at some point I would collaborate with him. Levi is not only a talented producer but also a skilled saxophonist, flutist, actually any kind of wind instrument! I shared with him a sparse idea as a demo and asked if he could create a top line melody for it. He came back with a full brass arrangement! "Loss Entropy" explores how musical traditions evolve and transform - a different kind of 'generation loss' where each iteration adds something new while echoing the past. This mirrors my work with AI, where entropy and information transformation create new patterns from existing data. In both realms, what might appear as loss actually becomes a creative force. This collaboration represents the beautiful unpredictability that happens when you share your creative space with others - sometimes what returns is far richer than what you sent out. "Loss Entropy" is my exploration into jazz and afro-inspired sounds, where tradition and experimentation dance together, much like the algorithms and artistic intuition that shape this entire project.
