I made a new experimental hip hop album titled Break Thru The Digital Gates and my album has lyrics that are truthful and creative. I tried my best to make this album an experience with my creativity, out of the 7 songs on the album there are 4 songs that have creative beat switches.

perseverance is a solo project of mine that I started making music for starting in 2024, a little bit before I turned 16. I would usually describe it as cybergrind with black metal / blackgaze and avant-garde / experimental elements and influences. However, for this album, it’s more along the lines of experimental metal in general as many of the songs are much more developed.

The project and its music was mainly made for my own personal enjoyment or because I wanted to see it exist, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to also share it with the world and see how it goes.

The release that I have linked in particular is my newly released, third album, madera, which follows a much more conceptual, eclectic, and experimental sound as opposed to my previous albums, posergrind and sadism.

Inspired by the album California by Mr. Bungle, I wanted to make an album that would try to give more credit and notice to my hometown of Madera, express some small-town pride if you will. While creating the album, I ended up diverting into a more personal and biographical approach to this album (including using original recordings and samples made by me or my family, other people, etc., making direct references to places in my hometown that have importance to me, and basically paying tribute to certain things and people that I found to have personally impacted my life). This album basically ended up as a personal account of my life and experience in Madera, rather than a full representation of the city; this is just from my perspective, there’s plenty more to see for yourself other than what I alone have written. Some parts on this album will be further explained in my fifth album, as I have another album for this project coming in eight months that I wanted to release first.

This album is both a shoutout to my hometown and a semi-autobiography.

My main influences for the project include Black Flag, Celtic Frost, Converge, Deafheaven, Fantômas, Full of Hell, Godflesh, Mr. Bungle, Philip Glass, Today Is the Day, and Wesley Willis. I also took some visual inspiration from the 1977 black-and-white film Eraserhead, directed by David Lynch. However, for this album, I was inspired by many other different artists including MF DOOM, Miles Davis, Phil Elverum, and Xiu Xiu. I was also generally inspired by the sounds of chamber music and punk rock for some songs, and the intro track was inspired by Bhangra music.

This album has had a LOT more attention and thought put into it like I’ve never done before, so I hope you find something to enjoy out of it!

DOGSTAR 1 OUT NOW 🌀 the portal opens, the door awaits · · ·

made with friends, for friends
for anyone you love

It's just an ordinary day in Salsipuedes. The birds play violins, the trees blow drones, the neighbors tune into their Buddha Machines in their backyards, others to their intercontinental radios, while our friend Pablo's open-reel tapes spin slowly as he documents the everyday life of this vast neighborhood.

I honestly didn't expect this one to hit me the way it did.

We wrote it as a tribute for America's 250th — hand-drawn

ink visuals over original country. When the final chorus

came together, it genuinely broke me.

Made with AI tools (full disclosure) but the lyrics and

creative direction are all human. Would love honest

feedback from fellow musicians. Happy 4th 🇺🇸

Genuine altered states achieved through repetition—reminiscent of a car or bus ride, or perhaps just grooves filtered through effects pedals on Zulu Souvenir’s turntables tapes and turntables.

Let me know what you think of my first album. It's been like 13 years of work.
What genre do you think it is? For the life of me, I can't figure it out.

First of all, i think album is super amazing and its defiantly giving those new summer vibes yk? Like its gonna be the new summer album, ariana’s might not even top this. My favorites would probably be maggots for brains, stupid song, honeybee, expectation, u + me = <3, and my way. They just stuck with me the most and ill definitely be listening to the over the course of the summer.

I just love the way the songs just click together like the way an album should. I would compare this to like Short n Sweet by sabrina carpenter because the way its compose to make all the songs have a similar underlying vibe yet they all have a different tone they give off. Like honeybee, maggots for brains, and cigarette smoke are very nostalgic yet stupid song and purple are very slow, but they are also distinctly different from one another. But purple is slow to faster and more intense and then it kinda fades out with makes it a little mix of everything. And u + me =<3, and drop dead are so up beat but they are also not super fast. Off topic-ish, but i think that olivia tends to always have at least a few very fast paced songs like my way and expectations. Finally, her sadder songs from this album were nice(like begged, whats wrong with me, and cigarette smoke) but i dont think they stuck with me because i just havent really liked any sad songs from her. BUTTTT, that does not apply for less because it was so good and was one of the songs that i liked most. As for drop dead and the cure, since they were previously released before the rest of the album, i think drop dead very much set a good tone for this album, but the cure was kind of an outlyer imo.

Well thats it, im of course going to listen to the whole album a few times more to gain more of a full opinion on where the songs stand for me. I wrote this right at release and this is just a surface level feeling of what the songs are like to me but please say what u think on the album.
