Music / Performed / Recorded / Mixed : Fake Cats Project, 2016,2018
In October 2023, a number of artists submitted tracks for a compilation project intended to serve as a time capsule, set to release exactly a year later. While some artists drew connections between their work from the 1980s and the present day, others included messages aimed at the future, meant to be read in 2024. This project served as an exploration of timelessness, with each artist’s perspective on their work being deeply personal and not easily shared with the outside world. Their inspirations varied — some drew hope from the past, while others tackled their fears. For a few, it turned into an exercise in nihilism, as they stripped their work of all meaning to reflect their views on the world, offering a glimpse into their personalities. And, others expressed a desire for drastic changes to make the world safer.

About the album:
———————————————————————————————-
“This is a story about a foolish mage and apprentice who are tasked with summoning beasts from alternate dimensions to wage war. Unfortunately the apprentice goes digging into his master’s research and decides to try and summon himself a girlfriend, which ends up snowballing into him causing the apocalypse. Samples are all the
beats that felt more magical and synthy that I found while plundering.”

About the artist:
———————————————————————————————-
“I started Sqvire mainly to explore new visual styles with no rules: whatever I think is cool. I have admired the barber beats movement from afar for a while, and was finally moved to start plundering lo-fi beats from discovering undersaken’s “cope for lack of meaning” series. Since starting though I’ve developed a love for many more styles of music and plan to experiment a lot sonically and visually. It’s all fueled by excitement and love for the music and art I’m discovering.”
