“Since childhood, I’ve at all times been drawn to the musical aspect of all the things—theme songs in reveals and films, professional wrestling entrance songs, and online game soundtracks, after all. Music enhances visible and interactive media, however the reverse can be true, and I sadly by no means get the luxurious of working with different inventive individuals. The universe appears to leap by 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 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 searching for me, so I added recreation developer to the checklist.”
These are the highly effective phrases from the artist I Am Kassandra for Social Way of life Journal. It’s an honor to be taught extra from the artist, who describes their musical fashion:
“As a listener, my music choice has at all times been everywhere, and it’s just about been the identical as an artist. Once I was ‘daxelin,’ you’ll be able to hear a form of style swap from album to album. The way forward for I AM KASSANDRA’s musical fashion goes to get very laborious to explain, however for this album, being a gaming expertise, the swap occurs nearly monitor 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 Track’ and ‘RAGE QUIT!!!’ have been to start with levels of writing approach 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 attempting to actually perceive the universe was starting. ‘A Track’ was a track, ‘RAGE QUIT!!!’ was a poem, and all of it adopted the primary line: ‘Typically once I get up, I want I by no means did.’ That ended up being simply part of the track, and it sort of became this ‘closing 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’ concept. 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 fully? The idea helped dial the track 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 effectively 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 a giant 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’d love for EVERYTHING IS ERROR to resonate with an viewers as a complete, however this venture allowed me to have a full-circle second, whether or not it goes viral or not. I had lots of enjoyable and frustration making this recreation, but it surely’s really out now on iOS and Android, and I had no concept what I used to be doing lower than half a yr earlier than its launch. Even for those who don’t like the sport or soundtrack, I’d hope you would 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 longer term, collaborations, and a inventive shift that feels as private as it’s uncompromising:
“I believe I bought myself labored up earlier over my lack of collaborations haha, I need 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 group of labor that spans three years. Three years in the past ‘a track’ was launched as ‘Track’ underneath 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 could (or could not) sound to an viewers, I nonetheless thought in regards to the viewers, I believe all of us do, to a point, even once we assume we don’t. I cannot be doing that sooner or later. I don’t know 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 performing world of ‘civilization,’ the hypocrisies, the political storylines, the instigative puppet masters and their offended puppets, and the entire issues that hold the typical human distracted from their very personal existence. There’s this recreation we play, the place all of us exit and fake 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 resolve whether it is acceptable to have a mean 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 shortly grew into one thing way more bold:
EVERYTHING IS ERROR didn’t start as a recreation—but it surely grew to become one by growth and experimentation.
“It was initially launched in November 2025,” the artist explains. “After that, I wished to make music movies that felt like recreation levels. So I taught myself coding. Then animation. Then character design. Then all the things else.”
That course of shortly escalated into full-scale reinvention.
“I ended up pulling the album, rebuilding it, and remodeling all the things to operate as each a soundtrack and a playable expertise. By April 2026, each the sport and album have been full and launched collectively.”
