SOMNIOMANCER [null.set]

In case you missed it, I recently made the theme song/boss battle music for Arknights’ new expansion, set in a dystopian Vatican-City type of world.

Their art team absolutely killed it with the release video.

It’s out now on streaming platforms.

I love with my teeth

I once read that you studied economics and then chose music. If you could, would you go back and study music? I know that you love writing too, so would you study something related to that? Or do you think creative writing majors (or any other art major in that case) may narrow one's path, style and creativity, or do you think they would embrace it instead?

No, I wouldn’t. I am incredibly careful about not exposing myself to anything that will normalize my creative output. I’d rather express groundbreaking work with subpar technique than derivative work with perfect form. It’s why I taught myself, and why I don’t listen to music that is too similar to mine.

I don’t think that’s the path everyone should take, but it’s the path my intuition points towards for my own journey.

blue. beast. kind of. my own. what if? w h a t i f ? heaven. ms peters. fifteen, i speak to their ghosts. blue green brown blue green brown blue. red gold purple red gold purple red. this boy that thought he was a tiger (i think he might have been one). absolutely not. indefinitely yes. i don't know, i haven't stopped since i really saw the ocean. 56. if you saw what i saw, you'd understand. love, because they would give me their blood on their own. if you saw what i saw, you'd cry too

This reads like a piece from my daily stream-of-consciousness exercises.

Would you return to Chile after everything that happened to you?

Of course. Every country has thieves, but few countries would band together to help recover the equipment of an artist that has had their stuff stolen. They assigned a federal task force to recover my items, how could I not feel a bounty of affection for their giant hearts? Chileans will always have a special piece of me.

When you start a track, do you usually begin with an emotion, a sound texture, or a narrative image?

I would say the most common starting points are either a sound texture or a piano piece. Those evoke the most nuanced feelings in me, and give me a head start on the process of discovering the details of the emotional tapestry I’m trying to unearth.

are you the one that dies over and over again in every timeline or the one who goes back over and over again to save them?

I used to think I was the one who went back. Nowadays I fear I’m the one who dies.
