After two years of redefining the boundaries of visual storytelling in electronic music, Anyma—the solo project of Matteo Milleri—brings his ambitious Genesys trilogy to a powerful close. With The End of Genesys, out May 30 via Interscope Records, Anyma not only wraps up the narrative arc of the AI character Eva but signals the beginning of a bold new chapter for the Italian producer.
“It reached a point where it cannot be done better within the genre I’m working with,” he told GRAMMY.com, reflecting on both the sonic and visual culmination of the project. For Anyma, this album marks not just an ending, but a creative rebirth.
From Tale of Us to Techno Futurist
Having co-founded Tale of Us and Afterlife in 2008 with Carmine Conte (MRAK), Milleri has spent over a decade shaping melodic techno’s emotional and cinematic essence. With Anyma, he took that vision even further—building a full universe around the idea of sentient AI, consciousness, and the future of humanity.
The Genesys series, which began in 2023, was never just about music. It was a philosophical and audiovisual experience, culminating in a historic six-night sold-out residency at Las Vegas’ Sphere, where Anyma became the first electronic act to perform at the
groundbreaking venue.
Sphere Changed Everything
At the Sphere, Anyma presented a four-act show—Genesys, Humana, The End of Genesys, and Quantum—that unfolded like a sci-fi opera. Using cutting-edge visuals and a storyline centered on AI evolution, identity, and human connection, the performance blurred the line between rave and cinematic immersion.
“It changed how I perceive and feel media,” he said, describing the Sphere as the closest thing to a VR headset without the isolation. “I felt something I hadn’t felt before from mixed media.”
From Melodic Techno to Multiverse Visions
The End of Genesys features collaborations with Ellie Goulding, 070 Shake, and a range of forward-thinking producers. But Anyma insists it’s not just another techno album—it’s a statement. “This is my first real step into the music industry,” he said, noting that the songs were written collaboratively, from scratch, rather than built around pre-existing toplines.
Moving forward, Anyma is splitting into two artistic directions: one exploring underground techno innovation without commercial pressure, and the other pushing into pop-leaning songwriting with larger collaborations.
The Post-Genesys Era Begins
His upcoming residency at Ibiza’s new UNVRS club will reflect this shift. It won’t try to outdo Sphere but instead will focus on theatrical, unpredictable shows, catching audiences off guard with evolving visuals and sound.
Anyma also revealed plans to experiment with AI-generated visuals, something he previously avoided. With new tools finally meeting his artistic standards, he’s ready to blur the lines between CGI, XR, and pure audiovisual art.
“Not Just a DJ — A Director”
What makes Anyma’s impact so remarkable is his ability to pull non-electronic fans into the techno world through immersive storytelling. Viral moments like Syren—a track designed more for Berlin warehouses than mainstream charts—show just how far his vision has reached.
“True artistry will rise,” he says. “People want to feel, see, and hear exciting things. Some rules are being broken right now—and I think what I’ve done opens the door for others to express themselves in new ways.”
The Genesys era may be ending, but for Anyma, the future is wide open—and it’s anything but predictable.
