“Since childhood, I’ve all the time been drawn to the musical aspect of every part—theme songs in exhibits and films, professional wrestling entrance songs, and online game soundtracks, after all. Music enhances visible and interactive media, however the reverse can also be true, and I sadly by no means get the posh of working with different inventive folks. The universe appears to leap by means of hoops to make all roads result in doing all of it your self, which is how I ended up as a producer and musician within the first place. I find yourself instructing myself methods to play devices, combine and grasp, and be a photographer and video editor. I wasn’t going to depend on Konami or Nintendo to come back in search of me, so I added recreation developer to the listing.”
These are the highly effective phrases from the artist I Am Kassandra for Social Way of life Journal. It’s an honor to study extra from the artist, who describes their musical type:
“As a listener, my music choice has all the time been in all places, and it’s just about been the identical as an artist. After I was ‘daxelin,’ you may hear a form of style change from album to album. The way forward for I AM KASSANDRA’s musical type goes to get very arduous to explain, however for this album, being a gaming expertise, the change occurs nearly observe to trace.”
When requested if any songs or soundtrack moments from this launch really feel particularly significant—whether or not creatively, emotionally, or in relation to the sport itself—the artist shares:
“‘A Music’ and ‘RAGE QUIT!!!’ had been at first levels of writing manner earlier than this album was even an concept. I used to be at a little bit of a breaking level, and my existential obsession with science and making an attempt to really perceive the universe was starting. ‘A Music’ was a tune, ‘RAGE QUIT!!!’ was a poem, and all of it adopted the primary line: ‘Typically after I get up, I want I by no means did.’ That ended up being simply part of the tune, and it form of became this ‘remaining boss’-type idea, the place you attain the top of actuality.
“When it got here time to make a stage for it within the recreation, it developed into this ‘what if’ concept. What if individuals are seeing UFOs? What if individuals are being kidnapped? However what if the ‘aliens’ are literally folks—conducting experiments and surveillance proper above everybody’s heads, whereas additionally gaslighting them into believing they’re one thing else fully? The idea helped dial the tune again a bit, which it wanted. The unique poem was a lot darker, and I’d have by no means shared it.”
Pulling from a deep properly of nostalgia and ambition, the artist displays on the roots of the venture and the affect they hope it leaves behind:
“As I stated, I used to be an enormous fan of online game soundtracks—Donkey Kong Nation, EarthBound, Avenue Fighter II—and the way in which each fighter had such a memorable stage tune. I’d love for EVERYTHING IS ERROR to resonate with an viewers as an entire, however this venture allowed me to have a full-circle second, whether or not it goes viral or not. I had a whole lot of enjoyable and frustration making this recreation, nevertheless it’s really out now on iOS and Android, and I had no concept what I used to be doing lower than half a 12 months earlier than its launch. Even in the event you don’t like the sport or soundtrack, I’d hope you might take one thing away from that.”
But when that chapter was about arrival, what comes subsequent is about reinvention. Turning the web page, this artist doesn’t maintain again in terms of the long run, collaborations, and a inventive shift that feels as private as it’s uncompromising:
“I feel I bought myself labored up earlier over my lack of collaborations haha, I wish to see my inbox flooded from all of the inventive peoples of LA after this! Truthfully, as excited as I’m about this venture being accomplished, I’m equally excited for it to be behind me. This album was a set of labor that spans three years. Three years in the past ‘a tune’ was launched as ‘Music’ beneath daxelin (now pulled from streaming providers). To be candid, a few of it feels dated for the place I’m at as an individual, in flip as an artist. As experimental as this album might (or might not) sound to an viewers, I nonetheless thought concerning the viewers, I feel all of us do, to some extent, even after we suppose we don’t. I cannot be doing that sooner or later. I don’t know methods to clarify it with out sounding like some cliché ‘I make music for me,’ or like I’m now going to make a 15 minute tune of silence the place a lone doorbell chimes at 11:11. I’m saying I’ll create outdoors of the performative appearing world of ‘civilization,’ the hypocrisies, the political storylines, the instigative puppet masters and their offended puppets, and all the issues that preserve the common human distracted from their very personal existence. There’s this recreation we play, the place all of us exit and faux we aren’t a collective consciousness, considering, and saying the identical wild issues as our neighbors, behind closed doorways, in our heads, perhaps packaged in numerous phrases. I’ll create, and I’ll resolve whether it is applicable to have a median human viewers, one which pretends, after.”
To shut, the artist, I’m Kassandra displays on the surprising evolution of the venture, revealing how a easy concept rapidly grew into one thing way more bold:
EVERYTHING IS ERROR didn’t start as a recreation—nevertheless it turned one by means of enlargement and experimentation.
“It was initially launched in November 2025,” the artist explains. “After that, I needed to make music movies that felt like recreation levels. So I taught myself coding. Then animation. Then character design. Then every part else.”
That course of rapidly escalated into full-scale reinvention.
“I ended up pulling the album, rebuilding it, and transforming every part to perform as each a soundtrack and a playable expertise. By April 2026, each the sport and album had been full and launched collectively.”
