Album of Celestial Abandon is a studio album by Neon and the Argie Bees based on the OG RU/AU of characters created by The-F0X. Currently unreleased, it is an experimental mixture of classical and world music compiled into a concept album that serves as an unofficial interpretation of events inspired by the lore of that universe.
The first half of the album mainly focuses on Yin and Yang and the war of the dragons, while the latter half performs a timeskip to the main events of the RU, hundreds of years in the future: first to focus on Kari, Sketch, and the messengers, then even further in time to House Abaddon, where the AU mostly takes place. A bonus, final track on the album wraps up the story from the first half.
Initial base compositions of the tracks were generated using AI tool AIVA, then manually re-arranged note-by-note and re-performed by hand on a MIDI keyboard by Darien Brice Dickinson using the Native Instruments Kontakt 7 instrument library and original human-written lyrics were added and performed to most songs, to decrease the amount of AI involvement, increase the amount of original human work put into the album, make it "less offensive to human ears", and have it so that anything inspired by the AI-generated output didn't just "sound like a keysmash".
