What’s this. Can you all inform me on what’s going on. I feel lost.

"Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable." - Cesar A. Cruz

This sounds like it would be the soundtrack to an indie horror RPG maker game

After randomly finding "Credits song for my death" then listening to the whole Album gotta say this is emotional Decided to draw every cover in my own style while listening and it really got immersive like, a lot Definitely adding some of these tracks to my playlist

This whole album gave me “everywhere at the end of time” vibes.What a masterpiece!

you deserve more attention, very underrated masterpiece

“pretend im not breathing” is so good

putting "pretend im not breathing" right after "flies swarming my skull" was excellent

Just found you through the song "credits song for my death". You're an amazing and inspiring artist.

"flies swarming my skull" is such a banger, i am dancing to this at my funeral.

There are such a wide array of strange feelings that this album portrays, it's quite incredible. One moment I'm feeling somber yet hopeful in "credits song for my death", then deeply anxious and stressed out at "corpse in the bedroom", then empty and reflective at "sunken willfully", and then "turmoil" fucking category-5 hurricane punches me through 50 layers of drywall just through the sheer act of existing. I love it! This is awesome stuff you've made, and fills a subversive niche I didn't know existed in music. Well done!

"corpse in the bedroom" made me feel so unsafe being alone inside my own home. you're an amazing artist, keep it up.

this makes me feel like im being watched . viv are you out there

Dunno why- I'm both creeped out but amuzed how.. it's not so bad?? These stuff makes me go in a swirl of emotions Sounds great 👏🏻

Me listening to this in the beginning : "oh boy here i go!" Me in "turmoil" : "maybe i shouldn't have listened to this at night" Me in "flies swarming my skull" : *P a n i k* Me in "pretend i'm not breathing" : "Alright, peace and calm calm"

imagine this person makes a psychological horror and adds these songs in it that would be rad

Number 2 has to be my absolute favorite such a nice track, Good shit!

i feel a bit like a tamagotchi making the realization that i've been forgotten about

Flies swarming my skull is just anxiety brining. It’s an absolutely beautiful masterpiece. I’ve always wanted to produce music, and this was very inspiring. I love it.

idk if this was intentional or not but to me the titles of the album follow an order sortof similar to how your brain goes through a depressive episode. The beginning few songs are about losing foot of reality, slipping into a really dark headspace and all and then being totally engulfed in your dark thoughts and then being left to deal with the aftermath of your toxic thoughts mentally, physically, and emotionally drained like a rotting corpse, not having the energy to get out of bed or do anything really, and then slowly coming to terms with it and “waking up” from the nightmare/delusion, only to do it all over again some days later Idk how I found this album and it’s nowhere near my music taste but it resonates with me in a different way and I enjoy that so thanks for making it

I can't get through 9 without freaking the fuck out which I'm guessing was the aim so good job

my second time listening to your album, while doing math homework! what an emotional journey

The performance on "pretend im not breathing" surprised me. You don't get to hear something like that too often; felt like I might be able to understand the message if I could void the interference from my own self projection. Every time I listen it feels like a punch to the gut, maybe because I could sense a very familiar flavor of frustration in that first change onwards. At the very least, I know it hit me close to home somehow.

Was such a nice feeling when it finally changed from "flies swarming my skull" to "pretend im not breathing"

Looking at this guy's SoundCloud and hearing his music makes me think this whole thing is a memetic hazard... And honestly I like it that way. This album satisfies my desire for creepy, dark, eerie-sounding music like this. It really takes me to a different place... A really dark, scary, ominous, foreboding place. But I like being here sometimes.

honestly? this is one of the best albums i've ever listened to so far. the songs are so good, and it was an emotional journey honestly "pretend im not breathing" is one of the best songs in the album in my opinion, along side "credits song for my death". listening to "pretend im not breathing" after i just listened to "flies swarming my skull" was like a breath of fresh air, listening to the sounds of accoustic guitars after having to listen to jumbled messes of noises was like a sigh of relief. i honestly almost cried at that part. 10/10 album in my books. you deserve so much recognition.

Here's my take: Song 1: About to kill themselves Song 2: Wanting to kill themselves increases Song 3: Peak of depression (possibly picking up weapon) Song 4: Sounds like the person is in shock of how much pain they are in. Here they have really hit the lowest part of their life, stuck in the deepest depths of their mind. Song 5: dead. Song 6: The person seems to be angry that they were not helped, which is shown by the violent sounding instrumentals. Yet it is still human as there is a melody. Song 7: This is sadness, sadness that they know that they could find a way to be helped. Sadness that they could have changed their "destiny." Sadness that they know that this could have not been the end. Song 8: this is anger, anger that they could have helped themselves, but did not. Angry that someone could have helped them but did not. They feel turmoil as they think. Song 9: There is no longer a melody that shows that this person is ok, even after death. They may not even feel human as they have killed themselves. They have so many emotions and cannot find a way to show it: anger, sadness, and only one way can these emotions be shown... Song 10: This is where we learn that none of the story is real. They are pretending they are not breathing. This song is more like the real start of the story. The song is very human, shown by the guitar that has a very put together structure, made with melodies and small notes to support the song. Yet the song still sounds angry in certain spots of the song. The guitar strums are aggressive and loud while it is playing. This shows that the person is desperately trying to keep themselves together each day. Just barely getting by due to their depression. (I would also like to note that is sounds like the song is about to end several times. This shows each day passing by.) Song: 11: This song does not come after or before any song. It is a depiction of the person's mind, a constant tone of depression. It sounds empty but is full of that sad tone constantly playing. The person is constantly affected by their depression. This album was amazing. I loved spending time listening to each song trying to figure out each meaning. I love how well it shows how depression is to a person without mental illness. This is the best way I think that it could be shown. This really isn't just a song, but is art. I understand you won't see this, but I would absolutely love to hear your albums in the future, with a meaning or not. I do not want to praise your depression that caused you to make this. But rather I would like to congratulate you for making me understand what your and other people's situations have been. Thank you. Thank you for making me understand. Congratulations on this amazing album, but I congratulate you mostly for telling people your situation and hopefully seeking help. I understand this may not be the end of your mental health journey, but it is a step in the right direction to tell other people you need help. Congratulations.

I like music that makes me feel something, but this has gotta be the first time i felt truly uncomfortable listening to music. Corpse in the bedroom is a truly haunting masterpiece.

Holy. Shit. The dissonance. it's so good. The aesthetic. I like how you mixed the channels too. This alone deserves at least a sub, I'd actually buy this album if I could. Keep it up, my guy.

An album representative of a grotesque time-lapse of someone who just killed themselves in their bedroom and the corpse rots until there isn't anything but bones left. The best part is that I can't say I disagree with any of the tracks during each stage of the "decay". It all just paints a picture so perfectly.

I feel like sunken willfully is underrated!! It might have to be my favorite (they’re all good tho!) it gives me a sense of security and peace but at the same time a wave of sadness hits! I feel like sunken willfully is a great name for it and described exactly how I felt! Like your going deeper into depression but your fine with it or you have no motivation to not Edit: also I’d like to add that I almost shed a tear listening to sunken willfully

i have never had a song invoke such violent dread and anxiety within me as "flies swarming my skull" to the point of causing me to hyperventilate and nearly rip my headphones off. this is genuinely up there with the most terrifying experiences of my life. 10/10 i will never emotionally recover nor relive this feeling through any other piece of art ever.

it sounds like a soundtrack of a good horror game. i love it

absolute banger, needs to be on spotify 👌

this feels like a story of its own similar to "Everywhere at the end of time" by "The caretaker" and i never say that 20/10

What a harrowingly beautiful album of interpretational and conceptual music. The dense techniques used to design these sounds paired with physical *and* mental imagery while listening to this make this an unparalleled expression of the mind at it's darkest. While some songs displayed masterful composition, some songs preferred to make themselves perfectly clear in what they're trying to say. Credits Song For My Death is undoubtedly the most popular song from this album due to that it contains the most melody and traditional musical methods, and fairly so. My personal favorite is Flies Swarming My Skull due to the heavy symbolism and unwavering nerve-wracking sound. The use of boundary-defying technique make every song in this album unique and prove that the indie artist beats popular selections once again. 10/10

Someone is going to make a whole depressed people factory, and turn them all into artists and musicians to make some banger content for the masses. Wait.

timeskips: 0:00 the beginning of the end 1:56 credits song for my death 4:47 lullaby 5:48 lost in the darkest depths of my mind 10:15 corpse in the bedroom 14:41 rotting 16:28 sunken willfully 21:33 turmoil 22:56 flies swarming my skull 25:30 pretend im not breathing 30:42 in my head

A collection of bangers. I literally *just* discovered "credits song for my death" and I was so enraptured by it I went to check out more of your work, and they're absolutely stellar! Lovely work!! I'm gonna listen to these while dissociating and have a great time

It feels like the first two songs are what we're supposed to hear, but then the album glitches and the rest is like the underbelly we weren't supposed to see. Love this album, amazing work!

Found myself here after getting credits song for my death recommended, and honestly? Loving the amount of emotion conveyed through your work, specifically flies swarming in my skull. My head has been overflowing with shit these past few months and hearing that expressed through music is really hitting, thank you so much for this album

This is actually a masterpiece. The ambiguity of the story through the music and titles allows people to be informed enough to get hooked, but never enough to make a concrete idea of what is happening to our protagonist. This allows the audience to fill in the blanks themselves and give them the opportunity to come to their own conclusions allowing them to deeply connect with the story in a brilliant display of interpersonal storytelling. I came here after listening to "credits song for my death" hoping to hear more stuff like it but BOY was I wrong in the best way possible. Truly amazing work vivi!

i made the unfortunate mistake of listening to this when I was high and experienced the worst anxiety attack I've ever had in my life between lost in the darkest depths of my mind, corpse in the bedroom, rotting, and flies swarming my skull. ive never been that terrified in my life. 10/10 great album though, very impressive

It's for these kind of hidden gems that delving into the depth of the internet is completely worth it. Fantastic job there mate ! (and i hope you're feeling better)

sunken willfully is just... wow. flies swarming in my skull is such a perfect representation for that one specific state of mind that i wouldnt wish on anyone. pretend im not breathing after that feels to me like waking up after falling asleep from exhausting yourself and picking up the pieces and trying to pull yourself together, all while hiding it from everyone under a thin veneer of humor and relatability. such a great album. thank you so, so much for your music.

This is unbelievably cool, I love your songs, they're just unbelievably epic! :D

This album gave me very deep, viscous feelings in my head and chest. The tension and anxiety and inflammation and pain are palpable. Its incredible! I'm not sure if it was intended, but this feels like the audio version of intense mania. I don't think I've ever heard anything so intensely accurate to the feelings I get during a manic episode, it gave me chills. Very impressive work

my fav is “pretend i’m not breathing” because it’s kind of like think of like a comedy relief except for music because this one is different and more real life like since it’s guitar rather than like digitally made and it feels more comforting

It's amazing how uncomfortable "flies swarming my skull" was. I was half expecting it to be haunted

my brother suffers from depression and I now how it feels to feel like you don't have a purpose in life and this album describes it perfectly,i love your work man,keep doing this tipe of work!

I really like the 4th one. Makes me feel like I'm in a place where no person is supposed to be. The town with it's insides out, covered in smog, with ashes and dust slowly falling up from the ground to the skies, where bells ring their ethereal song. Beautiful

I usually listen to pretend im not breathing in the car as my family is driving. I always bop and hum the melody, but when I listen to the album as a whole, i get the feeling everyone else in this comment section is feeling. Your work has this feeling that is so hard to describe, that it takes a whole community to describe it. Thank you

Here I sit, watching my lights slowly pulsate in sync with the music, at 2AM. 2 hours ago I turned 18, I feel happy, but at the same time very melancholic. It begins now, my free trial of life has ended, and I take my step into the unknown. God speed-

Found your music like 30 minutes ago, it has certainly been one of the most relieving breakdowns I have had in a while I've been under a lot of stress lately and these songs basically let me cry comfortably for a while Thank you

Honestly as someone with heavy catholic trauma, "lost in the darkest depths of my mind" not only reminds me of those stupid church bells, and just the uneasy feeling i now have connected with churches due to said trauma, Keep up the great work my guy

I've listened to this album many many times. Both here and on Spotify. Every time I listen to this, I can't help but feel this is what it would be like to fall into a coma. I can't put it into any other words. It's ethereal and horrifying and welcoming, all at once and in the strangest way. I feel comforted by this soundtrack. Even the titles make me feel a saddened nostalgia. Whenever I replay this album, all I can think is "this is it. this is what it would be like to fall asleep forever." This got me through a rough patch of my life. I adore your style of making music and posting whatever the hell you want. Stay strong, vivi!!

nothing like listening to this at nearly 3 am struggling to complete college work you've been behind on for a month... ah, life. absolutely incredible album btw, seeing your success inspires me to keep working on my game and other projects :)

corpse in the bedroom, rotting, turmoil, and flies swarming my skull are really top notch songs I keep coming back to this video to play those over and over. I love the raw, gritty, almost factory feeling of them and how you've managed to incorporate feelings of dread and hopelessness into these songs it really digs into your heart even after the 7th listen I could go on and on about how much I love this style of music this is really great stuff man! keep it up!

How does it feel to know you made something so incredibly beloved by the internet that it has been remixed to oblivion and back and passed around so many fandoms because people can't get enough of it? Anyway thank you for credits for my death song it resonated with so many people in so many ways. It's like a piece of the human spirit in song.

I'm sorry if I misspell some words, but I liked this album so much that I need to write a personal reflexion about it. To put you in context, I found "credits song for my death" by chance, and today I just discovered that it's a whole album. Epic. Let's begin. *the beggining of the end*: This song feels like a premonition, such as that bittersweet feeling when you're feeling happy, but you know that you'll fall back to the hole. The beggining of the worst. *credits song for my death*: The first time I heard it, I thought it was a song related to hope, like trying to hold on to that last sparkle of hope that resides in you, but now, it feels like looking at death as a way to find peace. That's the hope. The false hope that when you die, problems will just dissapear. *lullaby*: Only way I can define this song is crying before you sleep. It feels like a mix between sadness, repressed anger and fear. *lost in the darkest depths of my mind*: I'll divide this song into two parts (First is 5:49 to 8:13 and second is 8:13 to 10:14). - The first part is like being totally disconnected from the world, mind totally numb. The emptiness of the song is what makes me feel tense. It's not soothing. - I define the second part as loneliness. Not being able to ask for help together with the feeling that no one is around to help you. Personally, this song made me feel really weird, as if the entire world was getting further and further from my reach. *corpse in the bedroom*: Guilt. The word with which I'll describe this song is guilt. (Note: It's the one that hit me the most for what it made me feel). For me, the "corpse in the room" is an allegory of what ails us. It is the problem in its purest state. We have it in front of us, and we can't help but realize that it is there, latent, rotting our room or, in other words, rotting us from the inside, filling us with guilt for keeping it there. The metallic sounds in the song produces in me a kind of fear that I can't describe, and I think that's what it wants to represent. A choking sense of fear by not knowing what to do about it, and the guilt for not doing anything that works. *rotting*: The continuation to that feeling. It floods you in desesperation and eats you alive. As you try to keep up, you're rotting. *sunken willfully*: When you give up, you look at yourself and think all is lost. You feel exhausted, and you feel that you can't fight anymore, so you sink deep into a swirl of sadness, and this song feels like it. It's a sigh and a little moment of peace within the pain. It's melancholic. *turmoil*: There's no peace anymore. The change from "sinking willfully" to "turmoil" is devastating, as if it were the consecuence of giving up. If you look up the definition of turmoil, you'll find "a state of great disturbance, confusion, or uncertainty." Applying it to this song, it feels like something is looming menacingly, like another premonition. You feel lost in your mind, and lost for what's outside of you. *flies swarming my skull*: Pure madness. At the beginning of the song we can hear the first notes of "the beggining of the end", but as it keeps playing, whatever it was supposed to be is completely lost. It's like remembering what has happened throughout your life, but you are so worn out and perturbed that you start to think about the worst of every stage of your life. You begin to feel the weight of guilt, sadness, anger, hopelessness and all the pain on your back, and your problems surround you on all sides. It's as if there is no escape or solution for it. I would say this is the climax of the whole album. *pretend im not breathing*: This song is comforting. As if within all this madness, someone came to give you a hug and tell you it's going to be okay. It's like getting a helping hand while you're drowning. I must admit I was really relieved to hear this song after "flies swarming up my skull" as I was really tense. (in reality, at the verge of tears :

That's really good!!! Straight in my playlist

sunken willfully sounds like you're remembering good memories with someone you lost. it's heartwarming yet sad in a way

The songs remind me of when you want to cry but can’t , be it by situation or genuinely being unable to. She captured my heart and pains in this playlist.

these songs give me the vibes of "not quite dead, not quite alive" just... existing, in a place where nothing can bother, or comfort you. The feeling is... _terrifying_ , but comforting at the same time

im actually glad credits song for my death caught my attention and kept going, this is really expressive and unique

i downloaded "credit song for my death" and then had a hour road trip and a 4 day camp, and that was the only song i listened to the entire time.

Randomly came across "Credits Song for my Death" and I'm loving the bitcrushed gloomy tunes I'm hearing, keep up the fantastic work!

As someone with mild dementia, severe adhd, severe anxiety, MDD, and basically the whole scabutle I just feel this album seeping deep into my mind and emotions and it really reminds me of everywhere at the end of time in the way that it draws this primal emotion out of my soul and it somehow surpasses my ability to forget

These are all incredible, keep doing your thing

The ending of "pretend I'm not breathing" fascinated me. Well made album!

This is my favorite kind of thing. I just love when people are able to communicate what their mind sounds, looks, smells, feels, or tastes like. I love to do vent art, and listening to stuff like this gives me a weird feeling of peace.

I’d love all of these songs to be on Spotify, they’re insanely good.

I haven't heard a song that sounds so dark yet uses no words, like in turmoil it just makes me imagine someone in the fetal position in there bedroom with no lights on, really hope your doing better

Flies swarming my skull feels like anxiety creeping closer and the way its portrayed through music is talented

For some odd reason, these sound like they could fit neatly in OMORI's BLACKSPACE OST. Either way, MAGNIFICENT work, vivi! The aesthetic is so cool.

This album makes me feel a certain positive yet uncomfortable kind of way. Like going through unspeakable horrors and coming out the other side a changed yet stronger individual. There should be more stuff like this in the world, bravo on your work!

“Corpse in my bedroom” is amazing and the exact music I needed for my art projects, the whole album pieces everything together so well, keep up the amazing work!!

All i want is for this song to be on spotify, underrated masterpiece

'flies swarming my skull' is the single best way I've ever seen music portray anxiety. It starts out with something gentle and easy, a calming tone with a simple buildup. But then, there's a bit of a change in the melody, and it swings back from sounding normal to struggling to sound like a song before the melody rapidly descends into madness. I actually had to pause the song and walk away from how uncomfortable it made me- it conveys the spiraling stress and turmoil that comes with a panic attack. The further you go, the worse it gets, until the main melody has become so bastardized and fast that you just crave for it all to end. It's not a pleasant song to listen to, mind. But that's what makes it so masterful; it hurts with the same hurt that people with anxiety face. The bastardization of the main melody during the song's hectic progression also works to show how the more you lose yourself to stress, the easier it is to forget what you were even stressed about in the first place, until you begin to repeat the same thing to yourself over and over again without even understanding what it means. Incredible work on 'flies swarming my skull'. A 10/10 song in a 10/10 album.

I found "Credits song for my death" and the song was NOT what i expected. Instead, it was a much more pleasant experience, so i looked for more when i found out that this was an original composition, not an edit. And this album... * chef's kiss *

i love how open to interpretation this album is. it could be taken as a climax, as a cry for help, even as a form of coping or projecting. absolutely beautiful

Ugh this is so so good. Made me feel close to the same way I felt reading junji ito if im being honest, just sorta horrified. I haven't even gotten through the whole album and some of these songs feel like the worst moments- like literal moments, seconds of pure despair- of my mental state extended for minutes and minutes on end. And it would be a disservice to say I resonate with it all, like there's something wholly new and grotesque in this album that disturbed me so much. I really FELT this music and I can't even say I've ever felt that way before, which is kind of crazy I think??? Idk thanks so much for this wonderful work, wishing you all the best and more

Its 1 am, I skip to the song corpse in the bedroom, hear one second before deciding its a bad idea to listen. 11/10 you nailed it.

i've been planning on listening to the full album and always delaying it for a year and a half. I finally gathered the courage i guess, and although it's emotionally painful, it's also beautiful. I identified the most with sunken willfully

Hope you're better now! You make great music, if a little extraordinary.

flies swarming in my skull is what I imagine the electric bag pipes sound like, it captures true terror and anxiety.

This is the perfect playlist for my weird scenarios at 3 am Thank you kind stranger

i don't know how i didn't find this sooner; this is honestly one of the coolest albums I've ever listened to so and I am in love with the tone of each song along with the surprisingly fitting titles. keep up the good work!!

yo I just found this a moment ago and I am so glad I did. Your music is really good :00 I hope you get discovered by some game studio because you would do a fantastic job what do you use to create this masterpiece? damn I am listening while I am writing this and wow every one has this great uniqe feeling to it, I love it *-*

i really like 2, 4, 6, 7, and 10!!! gorgeous album that dives into mental health without any words needed, fantastic stuff! keep it up, you've earned a supporter here 💚 take care of yourself as you continue to make great music!

I don’t suffer from any serious mental health issues like depression but my boyfriend does and this album like opened my eyes completely and helped me understand how he might be feeling and stuff, and it made me emotional because I felt how he feels especially during some of his breakdowns . Thank you 💙

This album takes me where I wish I was a place where I can stay stuck in a timeless place with no history of anything. maybe even in this place I’m with a girl who I’ve broke up with a long time ago who I never really got over despite the belief I myself that I could move on. I can say everything I wish I did and spend forever with her walking the endless stepping stones over black water. In my head I can imagine parts of this but It can’t happen so I guess I’ll chase the feelings of it by listening to albums like this.

never stop creating pls these are so delightfully eerie and comforting somehow

This is amazing. It's making me feel all kinds of emotions I didn't even know I had bro

These all sound so good and is full of genuine emotion, you're super underrated, will be looping this album a lot

this is a lovely album, thank you for making it. i hope you're feeling well today

dude this album is a masterpiece. Just listened all the way through and it made me feel like no other body of work has. You're wicked talented, don't stop making music my friend

One of the creepiest albums I have ever listened to.. what a great job. I can hear.. feel your suffering, lost hope

PLEEASE GET THIS ON SPOTIFY

Right now I’m sitting in my bed sick at the moment but feeling like I could die at any moment and this album is just that
