Shikhandi (Spell, Miss) by Farshad Moshiri Xajehnassiri (tarxun)

Shikhandi (Spell, Miss), is a dramatic musical breakdown of a young A.I. narration machine trying to remember how it felt when he once was a human. When told by the artist that the error they (gender-neutral) have made is their purpose of being in favor of the piece, she was affected and tried to go back and cover its shame with human music.
