Embedded Files
Having been a musician for seven years, I've accumulated a lot of collaboration and practice time and it has come to great success.
I was in a couple of bands in high school and have also released a solo EP.
I'm presently in a band called "Ghosts of the Living".
On my Twitch channel, I also used to do weekly music challenges to keep my skills sharp.
There are many plans for future concept bands and I hope to collaborate with many more artists along the line.
I also run a record label!

(You may need to turn your volume up quite a bit to hear these... don't forget to turn your volume back down afterward!)
In high-school, I spent much more time with my head craned over album art and formatting than I ever did songwriting or recording.
This is the largest part why the Alyx Ivy EP took so long to finally get released.
Still, I think it's interesting to see all the ways the art progressed over time.
Band Names
Band Names
The Chaos Theory
The Chaos Theory
This was the first iteration of the band's name and logo back in 2018, meant to look like a kick drum and two cymbals.
Seeing Double
Seeing Double
Just a blip on the radar in 2019 and very short lived.
Ace Row
Ace Row
Also short lived but seriously considered, this name was chosen in 2019 for the fact that my parents had an RV called the "Pace Arrow" and we wanted it to be our tour bus. Seeing what letters we could scratch off the side to make a coincidental band name wasn't a bad idea.
Lucky Peak
Lucky Peak
One of the only odd-ball names from our gigantic list that made it into any art (this show poster isn't and wasn't real,
just self-fic lol).

A name we settled on pretty much until the end pronounced "And".

Tell Tell
Tell Tell
Another one obviously inspired by Tally Hall.

Alyx Ivy
Alyx Ivy
Finally settled on mere months before disbanding, "Alyx Ivy" was a play on the pronunciation of the Roman numerals for "64" being "LXIV".

The weird ones
Ace Row, as seen earlier
Very proto-Alyx Ivy photography
Because I thought my math notes looked cool
An incredibly brief period where we were called "Duffy Moon" after the movie "The Incredible Cosmic Awareness of Duffy Moon"
A statue in the city near where we lived that I just drew a bandana on (I also wore a blue bandana for most of school)
Not sure where I was going with this one...
LXIV
The main contender
The "thing floating in the ocean" concepts
Variations of stolen photography
"Love and the
Infinite Loss of Depth"
"Hawai'i Part IV"
"Artemis Lake"
The "alyx ivy"
The first
The running prototype (used for the unnofficial "Harsh Harmonies" release

The final one was chosen
"Alyx Ivy EP"

This final, high-resolution, algorithmically upscaled image became the EP cover art. Lots of testing, shooting, and formatting had to be done to get to this.
Pressing Concepts
Pressing Concepts
The first test of the tape layout
Back when we played with the concept of having a couple cover songs
One of the vinyl release backs when we were planning an album
Testing out different labels and album covers
A website called "qrates" allowed you to do so much for your custom vinyl release
I think this color combo is just perfect
This picture disc is admittedly a little lame
A partial history of the cassette J-card evolution
Conclusion

Just a CD
Just a CD
That's what it really came down to at the end. The tapes and vinyl never went into production, only a misprint CD card and then a reprint. It's still pretty cool, go check it out for yourself here.

As seen in the "Art & Design" section of this site, I did all of the art for this release. I also did all of the website rigging, design, and legal work for this artist around the time of the release. I was also a recording assistant and was co-PR manager during this time.
