“Since childhood, I’ve at all times been drawn to the musical facet of every little thing—theme songs in exhibits and flicks, professional wrestling entrance songs, and online game soundtracks, in fact. Music enhances visible and interactive media, however the reverse can be true, and I sadly by no means get the posh of working with different artistic individuals. The universe appears to leap by way 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 educating myself find out how to play devices, combine and grasp, and be a photographer and video editor. I wasn’t going to depend on Konami or Nintendo to return on the lookout for me, so I added recreation developer to the listing.”
These are the highly effective phrases from the artist I Am Kassandra for Social Life-style Journal. It’s an honor to study extra from the artist, who describes their musical model:
“As a listener, my music choice has at all times been in all places, and it’s just about been the identical as an artist. After I was ‘daxelin,’ you may hear a type of style change from album to album. The way forward for I AM KASSANDRA’s musical model goes to get very laborious to explain, however for this album, being a gaming expertise, the change occurs virtually 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 Tune’ and ‘RAGE QUIT!!!’ have been to start with levels of writing approach earlier than this album was even an thought. I used to be at a little bit of a breaking level, and my existential obsession with science and attempting to really perceive the universe was starting. ‘A Tune’ was a track, ‘RAGE QUIT!!!’ was a poem, and all of it adopted the primary line: ‘Generally once I get up, I want I by no means did.’ That ended up being simply part of the track, and it form of became this ‘ultimate boss’-type idea, the place you attain the tip of actuality.
“When it got here time to make a stage for it within the recreation, it advanced into this ‘what if’ thought. What if persons are seeing UFOs? What if persons are being kidnapped? However what if the ‘aliens’ are literally individuals—conducting experiments and surveillance proper above everybody’s heads, whereas additionally gaslighting them into believing they’re one thing else totally? The idea helped dial the track again a bit, which it wanted. The unique poem was a lot darker, and I might have by no means shared it.”
Pulling from a deep effectively of nostalgia and ambition, the artist displays on the roots of the challenge 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, Road Fighter II—and the way in which each fighter had such a memorable stage track. I might love for EVERYTHING IS ERROR to resonate with an viewers as an entire, however this challenge 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 thought 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 might hope you could possibly 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 artistic shift that feels as private as it’s uncompromising:
“I feel I obtained myself labored up earlier over my lack of collaborations haha, I wish to see my inbox flooded from all of the artistic peoples of LA after this! Actually, as excited as I’m about this challenge being accomplished, I’m equally excited for it to be behind me. This album was a group of labor that spans three years. Three years in the past ‘a track’ was launched as ‘Tune’ underneath daxelin (now pulled from streaming companies). 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 in regards to the viewers, I feel all of us do, to some extent, even after we assume we don’t. I cannot be doing that sooner or later. I don’t know find out how 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 track 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 indignant puppets, and all the issues that preserve the typical human distracted from their very personal existence. There may be this recreation we play, the place all of us exit and faux we aren’t a collective consciousness, pondering, 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 determine whether it is applicable to have a mean human viewers, one which pretends, after.”
To shut, the artist, I’m Kassandra displays on the surprising evolution of the challenge, revealing how a easy thought rapidly grew into one thing way more bold:
EVERYTHING IS ERROR didn’t start as a recreation—nevertheless it grew to become one by way of growth 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 little thing else.”
That course of rapidly escalated into full-scale reinvention.
“I ended up pulling the album, rebuilding it, and remodeling every little thing to perform as each a soundtrack and a playable expertise. By April 2026, each the sport and album have been full and launched collectively.”
