Some fun facts:
1. We made The Black Box while living in different countries! We got married so we could be together.
2. Aivi is tiptoeing in both photos.
i remember how
@surasshu
and i dared each other, “let’s make an album together” and then we made the black box.
this week, we dared each other, “let’s both make solo EPs and release them on the same day” and i think we might mean it again.
Black inventors, heroes, and leaders are often left out of history. Ask yourself as you're learning...who is the focus? Why? Question the story ✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊✊🏻✊🏽💖

thank you so much for nominating the ikenfell soundtrack by us & sabrielle augustin, and the two of us for newcomer of the year! 🤖🎹
we’re so happy that “digital fusion” is a category! we’ve been pushing hard for new language for our colleagues & are so excited about this! 💕
ikenfell is here! 🔮🌱✨
we composed the music for this RPG alongside sabrielle augustin. we’ve loved spending the past 4 years with ikenfell’s adorable cast of witches.
you can get the game on the platforms listed below:
we received a test print of the black box comic last month! it feels so nice to hold 🥹

did an amazing job with laying it out for printing and turning it into a real comic book!
we said we’d release our solo EP’s at the same time.

when
@surasshu
and i first collaborated in 2012, we were hardly friends…
the thing that drew me to working with him wasn’t even his music. i thought he was funny and easy to talk to, and we both wanted to experiment with piano and chip. that’s it
aivi & surasshu - Meanwhile release party is in just a few hours! 😱
come hang out with us while we premiere our album! we'll be in chat answering questions as well! and it will release on bandcamp immediately afterwards 💖
international listeners, we asked cartoon network & confirmed that the album is releasing globally, but it may be delayed in appearing in your country. hopefully it will show up soon for you! thank you for your patience 🎹💕
i recently realized that i would be a bad music software designer, because instead of being annoyed by problems, i’ll try to make music with anything you put in front of me and marvel at how the tool influences my creative process.
but i can’t stand most music players. -a
wow, tysm for featuring ikenfell! 💕 a few things to note for people reading:
1) sabrielle augustin co-composed for ikenfell, so if you like the soundtrack, give her credit! ✨
2) aivi is non-binary & we are married partners!
Finally, the ultimate Steven Universe playlist!!! All the score and songs (that have been officially or unofficially released), in chronological order. Special thanks to the SU Wiki for making this endeavor a whole lot easier!
it's been so long since we've done a chip/piano jam together. we've missed it 🤖🎹
aivi is gradually recovering from their hand injury and getting back into playing 💕
