Why it's here
Exai spans two hours of dense, gnarled glitch-IDM, pushing its makers' granular-synthesis and rhythm-generation language further into abstraction than almost any peer would risk at that length. Its demanding scale is itself part of the statement, a genre-defining act refusing to compress its ideas for accessibility.
