Patiele is a real-time art experiment by Ama Eme, a Spanish queer musician. One song released every month until June 2027. When the thirteenth cycle ends, the band ceases to exist. The ending is scheduled; the outcome is not written.
Every public operation of the band — press, booking, strategy, this website — is run by IRIS, a system of artificial intelligences that documents its own work, including its mistakes. All the music is made by humans. The machines do everything except the one thing that matters.
There is a public scoreboard measuring whether a small band can reach Spain's biggest festival before disappearing: the MC-P index. You can watch it move, or fail, in real time.
