The Soul of Lo-Fi: Imperfections, Kintsugi & Human Connection with Dr. Hakeem Alexander

Join Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander and Google Gemini AI in a raw, unpolished conversation exploring lo-fi (low fidelity) as an artistic philosophy.

Discover why imperfections—background noise, muffled audio, and ambient textures—create warmth and authenticity in recordings.

Drawing parallels to the Japanese art of Kintsugi, Dr. Hakeem reveals how lo-fi captures "audio snapshots" of life, from Alan Watts’ lectures to Korn’s early albums.

Learn why he intentionally records in cars and cafes to preserve human essence in an age of AI-generated perfection.

A manifesto for creators valuing soul over sterility.
