About the work

Producer 4ra 4ra

4V4T4R R4VE. It is a genre of electronic bass music. I participate in the project as a producer, songwriter, performer, director, and visual accompaniment editor. The 4ra 4ra music multiverse combines the areas of fine arts and gaming, weeb, and IT community. It shares elements of mid tempo, synthwave, hardwave, dark synth, dubstep, glitchcore, and gamecore. Industrial-sounding bass, cycled cool drums, piercing sounds of effects, and cut soundtracks simulate a dystopian gaming atmosphere. Soft vocals contrast with hard synthesizers; main character madness. Story mode preparing players for the final boss fight.

I write my texts primarily in English (due to the excessive use of English in gaming and virtual communities). I’ve even written one in binary code, and I often combine my texts with authentic encrypted alphabet. I am influenced by the gaming industry because I work on multiple platforms as an independent game content creator. I have been pursuing this activity since 2010.

Screenplay for the u glitched video

Paraphrase of a life lived in simulation. Parallel realities, Schrödinger’s cat. What happens when a conscious bio-system wakes up from a simulation but artificial intelligence repeatedly tries to load it back from the glitch? My source of inspiration here is the cinematography of Gaspar Noé, the Love, Death and Robots series, and the dilemma of the red-blue pill.

Virtual Identity

My art involves exploring virtual identities. I deal with non-transparency and psychological pathology of archetypes found on the network, but also positive post-covid digital development. I describe the intangible setting dependent on algorithms. The movement of avatars alias intermediaries, acting on behalf of users in communication, and the representation in games, on social networks, in virtual reality shifting consciousness into cyberspace.

Avatar

A performer, a 3D character, a 2D creature, or just the @ at sign keyboard shortcut representing individuals in virtual worlds. The descent, the embodiment, the incarnation. A concept paradoxically transferred from the Hindu spirituality to a virtual medium.

Fediverse

The fusion of the words “federation” and “universe.” Federated / interconnected server files to be published – on websites; independent hosting. Social networks, microblogging, blogging, websites. On these instances, users can create the so-called identities able to communicate across instance boundaries, since the software running on the servers supports one or multiple open-standard communication protocols. Users, as identities present on the fediverse server, can send texts and other media or track posts from other identities.

Metaverse

Metaverse is a concept of a permanent, online, 3D universe that combines several virtual spaces. You can think of it as a future Internet iteration. Metaverse will allow users to work, meet, play, and socialize in these 3D spaces. The most perfect current metaverse prototype is the virtual realities in digital games. 4ra 4ra music is available on all streaming platforms.
