We currently live at the end of the perspectival era, which, nonetheless, is still dominant in areas of social structures and institutions. To adopt an awareness system better suited to experience complexity, we need to be able to see and communicate beyond the linear order. One of the ways of developing such a mode of communication, is to invite creative expressions, such as complex music. This article argues that IT tools like software and AI can be used alongside acoustic instrumentation in musical composition in ways that support expression of both male (Animus) and female (Anima) Jungian gender archetypes. Such music is characterized by complex androgynous structures supporting creativity. Drawing parallels between acoustic instrumentation (Anima) and electronic instrumentation (Animus), the article analyses two musical compositions by Dobromiła Jaskot as examples of a fused music process, suggesting that creative possibilities lie in the androgynous instant when these two gendered energies meet. The contribution of this paper is consists of demonstrating how creative energies related to the archetype of the Androgyne can provide space for creative breathing, whereby rupturing the dominant linear order and inviting aperspectival thinking into social communication. Moreover, our pluridisciplinary approach also helps to bring out complexity: we combine sociological, philosophical and musicological ideas in order to better understand the creative process in music
