The track is will open the forthcoming album o\i, which Gabriel plans to reveal piece by piece throughout the coming year, on each full moon – with the complete album assembled by December.
The song is ‘the Dark-Side Mix’ and produced by Tchad Blake at Real World Studios in Bath and The Beehive in London. A companion Bright-Side Mix by Mark ‘Spike’ Stent, is will drop on the January new moon. The alternating mix strategy mirrors the approach Gabriel used for his previous album, *i/o*.
Gabriel calls o\i a thematic counterpart to his last work: “i/o the inside has a new way out and o\i: the outside has a new way in,” he explains.The new songs grapple with a “period of transition” driven by technological advances, including artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Gabriel describes the artist’s role as looking ahead “to hold up a mirror.
Alongside the music, the legendary musician and former member of Genesis is continuing his practice of pairing each song with a commissioned artwork. The visual for “Been Undone” is Ciclotrama 156 (Palindrome) by São Paulo-based artist Janaina Mello Landini, whose work features intricate, branching sculptures made from unravelled rope, exploring connections between individual parts and a larger whole. Gabriel notes the fractal patterns reminded him of brain structures, offering “a lot of entry points” to the song’s themes.
