The first computer I ever had the chance of using was my family's HP Compaq DC7100 running Windows XP and that clean yet primitive UI design had a very big impact on me...

I had all these strange pieces of audio, from conversations w/ my friends, snippets of old medical films, warped acoustic noise, and chaotic synthesized recordings, and they all struck me a certain way...
Music is emotion. Whether happy or sad, it's just a way of helping you deal with them and set the record straight about yourself...
Plus we're all having midlife crises and doing this was cheaper than buying a Miata or getting TRT therapy...
I’ve been lucky that I’ve always had more ideas for music than time to produce them all, so in the beginning, it was easy. I was releasing 15-20 tracks a year, and labels were eating them up...
Given JPEGMAFIA's notoriety our expectations were high for his live performance...
Headlining the event was non-other than Earl Sweatshirt of Odd Future fame. Earl's evolution as an artist has been fascinating to view, and we believe his change in trajectory came with his 2018 release titled Some Rap Songs...

On some psychotic episodes, I catch myself hallucinating cameras on the corners of my bedroom, broadcasting to a non-existent audience my suffering, as if it were just a theatrical performance. Just because all that suffering by itself lacks purpose, feels empty...

Originally, it was just cool imagery. We found this vintage bunny on eBay, and it became a studio mascot. Then we said we should just make it the album cover because it's been through the whole ride.

I hate narratives, messages, and themes, so this album is completely hollow. There is absolutely nothing inside of it...

Throughout the album, different subjects are tackled such as the spirit of competition, industrialization, the destruction of our ecosystems etc...

Everything needs to make sense together. It's easy to create music that is overbearing when you have six instruments on stage. You have to make sure every single one of them is playing something that is contributing without smothering...
