'''''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 "rock opera"-like musical concept album that serves as an unofficial interpretation of events inspired by the lore of that universe.
'''''Album of Celestial Abandon''''' is a potential studio album by [[Neon and the Argie Bees]]. Its release timeline remains uncertain due to a current indefinite hiatus on the project. 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 "rock opera"-like musical 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 (species)|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.

Early temp tracks to serve as inspiration were composed by the AI tool AIVA using different generation profiles, then original human-composed tracks with the purpose of sounding similar to these temp tracks, and using the same instruments as them, were manually arranged note-by-note and performed on a MIDI keyboard by [[NeonWabbit|Darien Brice Dickinson]] using Native Instruments instrument libraries and software, with additional human-written lyrics and narration added and performed to most songs, further changing the way they sound to accomodate the recorded vocals, in an attempt to "reduce the supposed amount of AI involvement in the final tracks to zero".
The album is to be made available for free, as it is fanart centred around characters not owned by [[NeonWabbit]].
 
The album is to be made available for free, as it is fanart centred around characters not owned by NeonWabbit, and it was only made as another test of the current process of recording, mastering, and releasing an entire album.
