______________________________________________________________
With Server Farm, Jon Irabagon delivers a sprawling, densely layered meditation on artificial intelligence—its promises, its threats, its uncanny imitations of the human. The ensemble is a powerhouse, and the music—five extended compositions—burns with clarity and vision.
This is ensemble music of the highest order. Peter Evans’s trumpet blazes; Irabagon himself is commanding across reeds and electronics; Swift, Mitchell, Okazaki, and the rest contribute with precision and invention. Each track unfolds like a digital ecosystem, teeming with complexity but tightly composed.
Few albums manage to be this ambitious and this cohesive. Server Farm is a landmark recording—a fearless exploration of technology, form, and collective expression.
