Erapwmdx On the Making Of “the Algorythm”
What inspired you to write the lyrics/music for “The Algorythm?”
It all started with this bizarre digital tug-of-war—me, my music, and the machine. In trying to get people to engage with my work, I had to engage with them, feeding the system, nudging their algorithm, pulling them deeper. But here’s the kicker: we built the machine… and then it turned around and built us right back. It’s this never-ending, circus-like feedback loop where we all forget we’re actually the ones in control—until we aren’t. “The Algorythm” is that moment when you realize you’re both the puppeteer and the puppet.
Can you talk about the recording and production process for this song?
For me, everything starts with the idea—the lyrics, the message, the hook that sinks its teeth into you. I write and arrange everything from my lovely little high-altitude lair at 10,000 feet in Colorado (because nothing fuels creativity like thin air and mountain silence). Once I get the vibe locked in, I send it off to my producer, and that’s where the sonic alchemy begins. We experiment, iterate, and warp the sound until it hits just right.
For “The Algorythm,” we dug into the archives—mixing in eerie sound bites, like Nixon, JFK, and other relics of the establishment, pulling this eerie parallel between government, media, musicians, and audiences all chasing the same thing—clicks, control, attention. It’s a track that glitches reality just enough to make you wonder who’s really in charge.
How do you feel "The Algorythm" represents your artistic identity?
It’s raw, it’s relentless, and it plays with the edge of control and chaos. That’s who I am. I’ve always been drawn to the collision of music, technology, and the future we’re sculpting in real-time. “The Algorythm” is that perfect storm—hypnotic, disorienting, and just catchy enough to keep pulling you in, even when you know you should stop. It’s my way of soundtracking the digital dream/nightmare we’re all living in.
What inspired you to pursue a career in music?
Music has always been the bridge between the world I live in and the world I want to create. I picked up my first guitar when I was a kid, started messing around with recording, and before I knew it, I was crafting my own sonic universes. Along the way, I dove into production, engineering, and experimenting with sound, sculpting tracks like someone bending reality.
For years, I built music alone in my own studio—but now, getting access to industry tools, connections, and collaborations has been a dream come true. It’s not just about making songs anymore—it’s about hacking sound, breaking boundaries, and seeing just how far this ride can go.
How do you continuously grow and evolve as an artist?
I live in the music world. I’m always streaming, discovering, absorbing new sounds. The sheer originality and creativity out there is a constant adrenaline shot—it pushes me to innovate, to evolve, to keep experimenting with new tools, new techniques, new perspectives.
Beyond that, it’s all about connections. I’m out there—collaborating, working gigs, meeting wildly talented artists with voices unlike anything else. Every interaction, every new sound, every moment of creative chaos adds fuel to the fire. The music scene right now? It’s a beautifully unpredictable beast, and I’m all in.
