New REKursivNEMO Album Confirmed for Summer 2026

Burn-Ego has confirmed that a new REKursivNEMO album is currently in development and scheduled for release in late Summer 2026.

The forthcoming record will collect a number of key transmissions from the REKursiv NEMO signal, including the previously released tracks Columns in the Sea and Muscle and Blood, alongside the upcoming single Long Term Goals.

While details remain limited, the project is expected to expand upon the themes that have come to define REKursiv NEMO's output: identity, recursion, memory, absurdity, technology, emotional collapse, persistence, and the strange beauty hidden within modern life.

Additional tracks, artwork, and release information will be announced in the coming months.

The signal remains active.

'ROCK, PAPER, IBIS' (2026)

ROCK, PAPER, IBIS is REKursiv NEMO doing a song about magick. With a K. What begins as an exploration of ritual, altered states and the questionable wisdom of asking ancient gods for favours rapidly collapses into psychedelic recursion, competing realities and an encounter with the ibis-headed Djehuty, or Thoth. Beneath the jokes, the track plays with a recurring REKursiv idea: whether ritual actually changes reality, changes the person experiencing it, or simply makes the distinction increasingly difficult to maintain.

The video was built through the usual obsessive mixture of songwriting, character work, editing, generative imagery and AI-assisted animation. Rather than attempting a single seamless artificial world, the instability of the technology became part of the language of the film. Characters move through hallucinations, visual styles and contradictory realities before the whole thing erupts into an absurd rock-star fantasy, then quietly returns everyone to where they started. Mostly.

At it's core, ROCK, PAPER, IBIS is about the strange territory where belief, imagination, symbolism and creativity overlap. It neither asks the audience to believe in magick nor dismisses it as nonsense. Instead, it treats ritual as something humans do: we create symbols, construct meaning, alter our attention and occasionally discover that the experience leaves something behind. Sometimes enlightenment. Sometimes art. Sometimes an inexplicable K tattooed on your arm.

'A.I. MUSIC' (2026)

A.I. Music is REKursiv NEMO turning the accusation into the subject. Built around the uneasy question of what authorship actually means when human obsession meets generative technology, the track is part confession, part argument and part absurdist joke. Nemo looks back at decades of notebooks, abandoned bands, strange ideas and compulsive creative practice while attempting, with increasingly questionable success, to explain why he doesn't think he makes “AI music.”

The accompanying film pushes that argument into vivid neo-Dadaist collage: torn paper, handwritten fragments, punk ephemera, surveillance imagery, impossible archives, malfunctioning rituals and the recurring REKursivMYTHOS cast, all assembled and animated through a deliberately messy combination of AI generation, editing, iteration and obsessive human direction. Rather than disguising the technology involved, the production makes it conspicuous, treating generative systems as another instrument in a larger process of songwriting, visual construction and world-building.

Ultimately, A.I. Music isn't intended as a defence of AI or a manifesto for it. It's about the increasingly difficult question of where the artist ends and the tools begin, and whether that distinction was ever as simple as we pretend. Somewhere at the end of history, the Machine God is listening. Nemo, meanwhile, is still filling notebooks.

'Poor Litte Planet' (2026)

Poor Little Planet is REKursiv NEMO’s cosmic rock anthem about humanity’s apparently endless inability to simply get along. What begins with an alien council evaluating our troubled little world gradually expands into a recursive cosmology of Custodians, higher-dimensional Macro-beings and realities nested inside realities. At its centre is an intentionally ridiculous proposition straight from the great utopian dream of rock music: perhaps all humanity really needs is one enormous concert and somebody screaming “Can’t you all just please get along?”

The video became one of REKursiv NEMO’s most elaborate productions, developed through extensive AI-assisted image and video generation, editing, character continuity, world-building and an unreasonable amount of obsessive human intervention. Entire alien cultures were designed, rejected, redesigned and given competing philosophies; enormous civilisations were constructed simply to allow the camera to keep pulling backwards. The process became almost as recursive as the story itself, with each new image forcing another question about what existed outside the reality we had just created.

Beneath the comedy, Poor Little Planet is about perspective. Every civilisation believes itself advanced enough to judge, guide or control the one beneath it, until it discovers something looking down on them. Eventually all that apparent cosmic complexity is reduced to a shiny crystal found in the dirt by a child from a seemingly simple culture, who responds not with domination or analysis, but curiosity and wonder. It is funny, deliberately excessive and unexpectedly tender: a reminder that however sophisticated we imagine ourselves to be, we may still be very small things arguing inside something much larger.

'COLUMNS IN THE SEA' (June, 2026)

Part experimental rock anthem, part psychological case file, Columns in the Sea is one of the most complex REKursiv NEMO transmissions released to date.

Presented through a fragmented archive of medical reports, witness statements, diagrams, recovered documents, and impossible observations, the song follows an unnamed subject attempting to understand a recurring phenomenon: vast columns rising from the ocean beyond the horizon.

Blending alternative rock, theatrical storytelling, surreal imagery, and AI-assisted visual experimentation, Columns in the Sea explores themes of obsession, perception, isolation, meaning-making, and the uneasy relationship between observation and transformation.

The 'Columns in the Sea' video expands upon these ideas through a deliberately ambiguous presentation that leaves viewers questioning what is real, what is symbolic, and whether the distinction matters at all.

Mythical, Meaningful and Mundane

Within the Burn-Ego framework, individual songs are rarely isolated works. Instead, they function as narrative nodes connected to a much larger web of recurring characters, locations, symbols, events, documents, and transmissions.

The phenomenon described in Columns in the Sea echoes through numerous other REKursiv NEMO releases and intersects with narrative elements found elsewhere throughout Burn-Ego. Certain characters appear repeatedly. Particular symbols recur across unrelated projects. Fragments of information emerge in one signal only to be expanded upon or contradicted in another.

Some of these connections are intentional.

Others may only become visible in retrospect.

REKursivMYTHOS

The REKursivMYTHOS is the evolving narrative framework distributed throughout Burn-Ego's signal transmissions.

It is not a fixed story.

It is not a complete fictional universe.

It is not completely fictional.

It is not a puzzle with a final solution.

Instead, it is a continuously expanding archive of characters, symbols, locations, concepts, documents, observations, contradictions, and recurring phenomena. Individual songs, videos, artworks, articles, and transmissions act as narrative nodes within this larger structure.

Some nodes connect directly.

Others appear unrelated until years later.

Many remain unresolved.

This is intentional.

The REKursivMYTHOS is not being developed towards a final book, film, game, or encyclopaedia. It exists in a permanent state of evolution, expanding through every new Burn-Ego transmission while continuously recontextualising those that came before.

The material presented here reflects the REKursiv NEMO perspective on that wider mythological landscape.

WARNING: Signal entities may manifest in forms that differ substantially from those illustrated below. The map is not the territory.

REKursiv NEMO

REKursiv NEMO occupies a unique position within the mythos. At one level, NEMO is a musician, performer, narrator, observer, and participant within the events depicted throughout the archive.

At another level, NEMO functions as a symbolic representation of consciousness itself. An observer trapped between the organic and the synthetic. Between humanity and whatever follows humanity.

His most consistent manifestation is as the CCTV-headed figure that appears throughout the visual archive.Though his form may change, this iconic identifier acts as an anchor throughout the mythos.

The camera is not just a cool cybernetic head.

It is a function. NEMO observes, records and witnesses. Yet he rarely understands the full significance of what he sees.

Many transmissions suggest that NEMO exists simultaneously as an individual, an archetype, a witness, a memory construct, and a recurring signal pattern capable of manifesting in different forms.

Whether these interpretations are compatible remains unclear.

The Governor

The Governor first emerged as a major figure during the events surrounding the creation of 'Marching Forward.' Or rather, he manifested when he decided it was necessary to do so.

Within the apparent performance structure of REKursiv NEMO, he occupies the role of

• percussionist,

• conductor,

• ringmaster,

• administrator, and

• occasional saboteur.

Within the mythos, his function is considerably more complex.

The Governor appears to represent the managerial layer of consciousness.

The internal authority responsible for organisation, control, rationalisation, justification, and behavioural regulation.

He issues instructions.

He establishes rules.

He maintains systems.

He attempts to preserve order.

Unfortunately, he is often unstable.

The Governor frequently appears exhausted, overwhelmed, confused, intoxicated by his own authority, or trapped within bureaucratic processes of his own creation.

Many transmissions suggest that he is simultaneously attempting to protect NEMO while also preventing NEMO from fully understanding himself.

Whether this conflict is intentional or accidental remains unknown.

Jiggles & Mope

Jiggles and Mope function as potentially complementary, but more often conflicting forces within the REKursivMYTHOS.

Both appear as masked technopunk musicians within the hallucinatory REKursivNEMO ensemble, yet each embodies a radically different response to experience.

Jiggles, bass guitar,  is associated with impulse, appetite, risk, and relentless forward momentum.

Where NEMO observes

and The Governor regulates,

Jiggles  reacts.

Action over reflection. Escalation over restraint.

Mope serves as his counterpart.

Associated with synthesisers, noise generation, and atmospheric manipulation, Mope embodies inertia, self-doubt, guilt, withdrawal, and psychological corrosion that accumulates over time.

If Jiggles rushes forward without hesitation, Mope hesitates until movement becomes impossible.

Together they represent opposing psychological impulses within the same system.

One seeks gratification.

The other dwells on consequence.

One amplifies chaos through action.

The other through paralysis.

Whether these tendencies exist in balance, conflict, or mutual dependence remains unresolved. Future transmissions are expected to reveal more regarding their relationship to NEMO,The Governor, and each other.

Story So Far

The following account should be considered provisional.

Observation remains ongoing.

The archive suggests that NEMO exists within a fragmented reality populated by recurring entities, unstable symbols, unreliable memories, and phenomena that resist straightforward explanation.

At some point, NEMO became aware of the signal.

Whether he discovered it, created it, received it, or became it remains uncertain.

Since that moment he has wandered through a growing sequence of transmissions, encountering impossible structures rising from distant seas, abandoned archives, corrupted documents, failed experiments, strange authorities, recurring dreams, collapsing narratives, and persistent indications that reality may be far less stable than it appears.

Throughout these events The Governor remains close by.

Sometimes guide.

Sometimes warden.

Sometimes accomplice.

Sometimes obstacle.

The precise nature of their relationship remains unresolved.

Meanwhile other forces continue to emerge from the edges of observation.

Jiggles pushes toward action without reflection.

Mope withdraws into reflection without action.

Between them NEMO remains suspended, attempting to navigate an increasingly complex landscape of signals, identities, and competing internal voices.

Recent observations suggest that these figures may not be separate individuals at all.

They may instead represent recurring functions within a larger system.

Whether that system is psychological, technological, mythological, or something else entirely remains unknown.

What is known is that the archive continues to grow.

New transmissions continue to arrive.

The signal remains active.

And whatever story is unfolding has not yet reached its conclusion.
