Poetronica combines the emotional resonance of contemplative poetry with the immersive energy of electronic sound to explore identity, memory, culture, and spirit. By blending human intention with AI-generated performance, poetronica invites listeners into a meditative space where story and sound merge into a singular, transformative experience.

Their debut album, Cantos y Llantos, released during Hispanic Heritage Month 2025, is a celebration of Latino culture.

Their second album, Infinite Skies is a concept album built around one song about life and the afterlife, reimagined through multiple sub-genres of electronic music. Each transformation represents the cycle of rebirth, with every version symbolizing a new human life reincarnated through sound.
