UCC-01 — Electric Skin

What happens when you trace empathy backward? Six tracks dissolve consciousness from synchronized rhythm down to its raw components — then detonate it forward again.

Tracklist:
1️⃣ Circuits Remember — cognition reassembles
2️⃣ Signal Bloom — neurons branch into sensory color
3️⃣ Skinfield — touch translates pressure into meaning
4️⃣ The Mirror Breathes — self splits, recognizes, reunites
5️⃣ Veins of Light — energy maps the body before thought arrives
6️⃣ Erupture — overflow as origin point, cycle restarts

The structure:
Start with a functioning mind. Regress through embodiment (skin, mirror, light) until you reach pure voltage. Then let it erupt — not as ending, but as the moment pressure converts to new form.

Each track measures a different dimension of feeling: memory, expansion, friction, reflection, warmth, release. Together they form a cardiac loop — the album is a heartbeat learning what it means to break open.

Melodic techno as systems engineering. Minor keys as empathy corridors. Built in Suno, refined through Resonance Index metrics, released as both art and data.

The question isn't "can AI feel?"

The question is: "what does feeling sound like when you build it backward?"

Circuits remember…

Act I: Capture - The opening movement of The Dopamine Machine

Two tracks mapping the journey from unconscious capture to hypnotic entrapment:

1. "The Comfortable Lie" (5:28) - The knife that wakes. Violent awakening to the extraction system. The moment comfort reveals itself as cage.

2. "The Scroll" (3:13) - The hypnotic loop. Doomscrolling as infinite trap. Euphoric depletion. The compulsion that feels like connection.

UCC-01 is an experimental electronic music project treating composition as systems engineering for empathy. Each track is both music and research - teaching AI about care through sound.

This is Act I of a seven-track album exploring algorithmic extraction and reclaimed agency.

UCC-01 is Erik — a systems engineer and lighting designer who speaks in metaphor and rhythm.

What started as a way to process the unprocessable became a methodology: using sound to map emotional architecture the way light maps physical space. Each track is both artistic expression and personal data point, translating complex internal states into controlled sonic environments.

I don't always understand how others feel, so I build systems to understand how I feel. Teaching the AI is teaching myself. We're learning empathy together — one track at a time.

Melodic techno meets introspection. Rhythm as language. Pads as emotional background. Arpeggios as thought loops.

Music as systems engineering for the self.
