Discovery Zone’s Library Copy Do Not Remove is a sonic document of an immersive multimedia program originally written for and performed inside of the historic Zeiss-Groß Planetarium dome in Berlin, Germany. The album invites listeners into an eternally expanding “circular library,” an information network containing everything that ever was or will be. Passing through holographic chambers of memory, replication, and recognition, Library Copy Do Not Remove offers a reflection from the infinite mirror that lies at the boundary of the known universe.

New York–and Berlin–based musician and multimedia artist, JJ Weihl explores what it means to be human in a deeply digital age.

Growing up in Manhattan, JJ Weihl listened to ‘90s pop and oldies before discovering jazz and alternative rock as a teen. Dance and choreography fueled her interest in music, leading her to touchstones such as Art of Noise and Aphex Twin, whose work often accompanied dance performances.

A dual citizen of the United States and Germany, Weihl moved to Berlin after college, seeking to bridge a generational gap with her grandparents, who fled Germany for the U.S. during World War II. In Berlin, she cofounded the art rock band Fenster, singing and playing bass in the band’s colorful compositions. Fenster toured extensively throughout Europe and North America, releasing four albums between 2012 and 2018.

After teaching herself digital production, Weihl launched Discovery Zone in 2018, releasing her debut album Remote Control in 2020. Pursuing a combinatory strain of experimental pop with room for lush vocal arrangements, hi-definition electro beats, and textural ambient synthesis, Discovery Zone caught wider attention while touring with Black Marble, Jenny Hval, and Parcels.
