ill-esha presents CRYPTOWAVES, an album made entirely of cryptocurrency graphs turned into synth wavetables, alongside lyrics inspired by phrases taken from crypto-finance. The story emerges of the orphan block, an avatar born inside the blockchain, and her journey through self-discovery to find oneness with the universe. Chapter 1 - black swan - describes her birth into the chaos of a new world, where crypto has just toppled traditional finance. All sounds and lyrics made from first-quarter cryptocurrency graphs from BTC, ETH, UNI, and DOGE.
