Sisyphus was a man cursed by the gods to forever roll a boulder up a mountain, only to have it roll back down when he neared the top.

I'm amazed by this album. It sounds so much different from In My Head, but it's still you. A new sort of sound that works so well with the type of emotions you like to convey in your music. You truly are such an amazing artist and I can't wait to see where you go in the future. Never stop creating music.

Imagine being awake at 12 AM and looking at the night sky while having Sisyphus play. It’s like a tragedy, “Look what’s become of you, I hope you’re proud.”

I don't know what it is about them, vivivivivi, but your songs capture this acute sense of surrealism that I cannot accurately describe in words. But I will try my best. It feels like I'm floating through the vacuum of space, yet everything around me feels far away and fuzzy, like an aging and low-fidelity recording. Lying on my bed listening to this makes me feel like I'm slowly ascending, the feeling of weightlessness engulfing me in the folds of it's omnipresent arms. Visualizing this song makes me think of a hazy and indistinct world, every added note giving off it's own aura. The melodicism of your songs combined with the chiptune and unorthodox structures + sound choices result in a composition that conveys so much emotion, yet so little at the same time. It's a phenomenon in and of itself. Thank you vivivivivi. Thank you. but yeah if you don't wanna read the philosophical shit I just wanted to say this album slaps hard. \m/

i love your music sm and its just because of the simple tunes you’re able to create with just,, sounds??? idk and the tone you’re able to convey without lyrics is really cool too

I appreciate your music Ever since I got "credits song for my death" appear one day in my recommended, I've tuned into whatever you made since. So, thanks. For inspiring me to continue trying to make my own.

Everything you make is underappreciated, most people take CSFMD and leave without hearing these masterpieces.* Your only going to go up from here, I just know it

You really dropped the entire album in what it can be my most important day of my life, damm, i wanted to heard it before hand

local viv gets the big sad, proceeds to make good music you’re amazing

I'm sorry that you got broken up with, but I hope things get better for you! Your fans will be here to support you no matter what happens or what you're going through. This new album is absolutely amazing, thank you for all of your work.

... i'm honestly in love with this. i don't know what exactly about this gets me, but it really... hits home for some reason. maybe it's because of the way the notes are projected, but i really don't know what to say. vivivivivi, although i've only rediscovered your channel recently, this just portrays such an emotion that i don't know how to fully describe. i'll try to describe this in my own words, because it might make me feel better. untitled - shock. after all that you've gone through, the face you have put up is the same. you deny that it happened. you refuse to realize that it won't be the same again. i wish i could go back - as this realization hits you head-on, you swerve out of control. with that, you begin to fall into a hole where it's nigh impossible for one to escape. sisyphus - everything was falling on top of you. every small mistake, every small issue, all of it is falling back onto you, after almost getting out of the hole once again. postconscious - reflecting on what has happened, at this point you realize that yes, way too much has been placed upon you, but it might be ok. might. there's never a definite, is there? moving forward - the hole has been almost fully climbed out of, yet you are still realizing that the hole felt like home. that it felt safe, with it being your safe space. but that wasn't supposed to last. without you - you will move on. the hole wasn't always your home. will it be perfectly ok? no, no it won't, but moving on is the first step to being ok. tldr: this is a really... really good album imo. vivivivivi, keep doing what you're doing! it's honestly great, and... yeah! i dunno, i like theorizing with this stuff. thank you for making this amazing content!!

Last year, I went through a really messy breakup and honestly the scars of everything still linger and just. God if you didnt nail that emotional state really well without even using lyrics.

this makes me feel an emotion i can't quite describe. something like happiness but also sad and not quite melancholy?

Holy crap. My boulder, you could say, just rolled upon me again, but you just helped me roll it up, damn thank you viv, all of your tunes are bangers and explain every melancholy experience so well, I hope that your boulder gets lifted to the peak of your mountain and stays there :)

all of these songs are amazing and a bop to listen to! seriously love your tunes. i hope you'll be able to recover from what you went through

I LOVE HOW YOU KEEP USING SIMILAR MELODIES IN YOUR SONGS!!! it's like your iconic theme melody and i love the references :D credit song for my death vs sisyphus

no shitty meme comment, this is just legit a very real emotional experience. great as always

Making music after a break up has to be one of the best coping tactics I've ever heard of.

I don't really like depressing stuff, or just sad things because i want to feel good while hearing music, so i do not like In My Head, but this is banger, it made me feel like i'm in a bench at night, while thinking about humanity, make me confy, and i love it, thanks for this work vivi

I really hope making these made you feel somewhat better. I know from personal experience that it's not easy at all... 2 and a half years ago for me, it happened, and I'm now finally making the most progress. Your music has helped me with that along the journey, so I hope the creation of it and this message have put some sort of happiness in your heart ;v; You're doing great! And I wish I could tell you that to your face but this'll suffice lol. Sorry for the random tangent 6 months later, I just couldn't hold this inside lol.

I love vivivivivi. She is a small (but getting bigger) artist that makes amazing songs. I was so hyped when I found this album came out, and her album art is simple but beautiful. And her cat photos/drawings are the best!!

your whole channel is full of amazing stuff your an incredibly talented musician and I hope for you and everyone who enjoys your music, that you continue being the amazing musician you are (:

your music is so therapeutic to me. i really look forward to more of your work and see you grow!!!

Literally just got done reading about absurdism and the the thought of imaging Sisyphus happy and I find this has was released an hour ago. What an amazing coincidence.

wake up babe viv just dropped new music

sounds cool as hell, i like having most of your songs on background and they just hit good :)

It's amazing how complex the atmosphere and feelings of even your simplest songs can give. keep up the amazing work!!

Simply amazing, been waiting very patiently for this and it was well worth the wait. I can't wait to see what you make in the future!

You’re a wonderful composer. Everything you create is captivating, and this is no exception.

Sorry for the loss. Thanks for making something you can share. I love it

God, I love your music so much but I never commented about it, so its time to change that. I just wanted to say how increadible your music feels to me. Its like you can feel the sadness that is behinf each of your pieces but yet it doesnt affect the listener, but it brings some kind of comfort. It's like ackowledging the pain but seeing that there is always a way out. I dont know, I've been subscribed to you for a long time now but I never start to get bored of your work, so please never stop what youre doing, cus its worth it:) PS. a lot of you pieces sound like more personal versions of VVVVVV soundtrack, and i wanted to share that with you since your name is vivivivivi:) and maybe if you didnt know it youll like it too:>

This hits hard. So sorry for you. This is so accurate with what I feel, there's only sounds yet it describes such intimate and specific feelings. Really impressing

this has got to be my favorite group of songs from you, they bring out feelings that can only be described through music notes. it feels like listening to hugs!

You're one of the few musicians that make me feel inspired. It is a hard thing to achieve with me so I would like you to take this as compliment. Your music is just surreal in the most artistic meaning of the word. Hearing to your creations just make me think about how music is just a concept without any barriers. Thank you a lot for just doing what you like and posting it. Love your music.

love the motif from "credits song for my death" returning. great work as usual

this album put a smile on my face, and made me feel stuff i haven’t in a while. these are my favorite songs you’ve made, keep it up vivi

thank you a lot for this. i have admired your music for so long and it captures feelings simply unexplainable that i never understood how to express. it hits way deep with a weird introspective nostalgia of things yet to come. thanks! ik you will only keep doing great things.

I love this album a lot, please never stop making amazing music!

Another bundle of bangers, thank you vivi

Just a great album, vivi. Thank you so much for your work.

a beautiful album in every way. you have such a unique style and you show case it really well. 10/10 would listen on repeat forever

bit late, but i reallycan't emphasize how much your music inspires me. it's dragged me out of some of my lowest lows. your work is admirable and depicts both beauty and agony at the same time very skillfully.

this is such a great album! it has ethereal vibes and the way you express emotions without words is so surreal - i feel a sense of regret, sorrow, yet a sense of hope and embracement. the title sisyphus also fits this album really well! great job!

these songs just give me *feelings* man they are just so calm and nice i once cried to a few of your songs yk they're just good for that that is a compliment

listening to your songs is litterally the only thing ive found so far that can acctually motivate me ^_^ thank you vivivivivi!!!!!

i like the meaning behind it, and i love this sound keep moving forward and doing what you like, your art is awesome

These are so good! I love music like this, it brings me back to good times. I hope you're feeling better!

I like the album art a lot! I love images that look like two things at once. The face of a person horrified or something, and also a landscape of the moon and Sisyphus rolling up the boulder for eternity.

this is definitely the type of music i would listen to when feeling down or lonely. you are super underrated, I wanna share your music with everyone i know. I hope you're feeling better after rough times tho

The point of art, as described to me by band directors and art teachers over the years, is to create emotion. This goal is just as true for music as it is for any painting, sculpture, or whatever other medium an artist may chose. Many complaints with modern music arise from the lack of emotion contained in the electronic instrumentation chosen by so many people, but this doesn't hold true for you. With IN MY HEAD, you so artfully map out the emotions contained in a panic attack. You show the same amount of skill with this album, and though its sound is completely different, it still inspires emotion beyond what so much of today's music can. You are among the most impressive musicians and composers I can think of, and I cannot give you high enough accolades for your work. Thank you. Tl;dr: Your music is pretty gosh diggity darn awesome.

God,your music is incredible,but i could not explain how. It has a certain atmosphere,a vibe,it has that everything that is so disturbing but beautiful at the same time. thank you vivivivivi for that awesome experience that has been sisyphus.

all your music is so floaty i love it

your music is absolutely amazing bruh I didn't even mean to listen to your album, was looking for a song called sisyphus and saw this album and was why the hell not and just sunk in a hole of amazing emotional beats

I have no words to describe the feeling I have while listening to your songs. It's like a lullaby while the Earth is imploding.

Love your art. Hearing your album was the very first thing I did today

This is a great album, every single song is great in one way or another

thanks

ur music is always very .... ambient? relaxing? it puts me in a very strange but comforting mood that i enjoy i like the simplicity of these songs very cool (also i am sorry for your breakup)

sisyphus feels either like a *really* happy ending, or like everything is falling out of place, but its okay.

came back to listen to this one and i gotta say... it's almost as good as the tf2 stab. but honestly i love this thing, my favorite song has to be without you even if it's a little short, i feel it conveys perfectly that emptiness you feel when that someone isn't there, at least it did that for me. sisyphus is great too, it envelops you into this whirlwind of sounds and it's so immersive. thank you vivivivivi i wouldn't have started using beepbox mods to make music without your work.

i really want you to know that i think this is an incredible album. you've made so much progress and you've inspired me so much, so thank you for that.

vi my beloved, ty for this

thank you vivi for yet another great album

always love your work

This album is helping me cope with the realisation that my relationship with my father is dying. Your music is beautiful and powerful. So thankyou, vivivivivi.

I'm having a very rough month, discovering this channel just tonight Something about your music captures my mood entirely I don't understand how But Thank you It's relaxing You're an amazing musician

I LOVE YOUR MUSIC ITS SO FUNKY AND SILLY AAAAAHH

Awesome! I was waiting for my commute and couldn't focus on reading my sci-fi book, but this really pulled me into it. Now I'm savoring it and it sounds beautiful :)

Yo I just came back to listen to your music I didn't even know you just posted so recently nice job

Beautiful album I love how you can hear the melody from CSFMD in sysiphus

such a good album holy moly I love these songs so much

Listen here, wether you the creator or a fellow listener, Yeah life sucks, it really does and I completely agree on that, but if I learned anything from it and it's the fact that life just goes, from the good things to the bads ones, as for time it's sometimes REALLY just an illusion beacause these things and mental health in general is...Something takes time (a lot of it really...) but eventually yeah it does get better and it's always exciting to have the glimmer hope and seeing that little sparkling and shimmering dim light. So...whatever is it anyone of you is dealing with, I just like you wish you a life full of joy and happiness and mau you find true meaning and purpose

Your music is so calming.

A so good album! make me thinking about old retro 8-bit games

Ngl the existence of ur music making me want to get KZfaq premium so I can listen to it offline

Honestly you're one of my favorite music artists right now

Had a project idea a couple years I was going to call Sisyphus. No particular structure... I just had become really really fixated on Sisyphus, and more specifically, what he represents. Albert Camus really painted quite the picture. Not the most original idea to use it as a project title, but it was a good idea to me... And I hadn't looked around at the time to see if any albums or music projects used the title. And low and behold years later KZfaq does the work for me. I am so glad to see someone do justice to it in ways I have not had the time, and I'm not sure the talent , to do like you. Your and productions are like my own idealized, desired, fantasy work, elements of which I hear in my head throughout the day, but just haven't been able to translate into a computer yet. Not yet at least... I didn't start learning production basics until I was a young adult, and it's been during a truly trying period of my life where it's been hard to focus on anything that isn't survival, and ensuring my immediate future is at least okay. I keep an archive of various ideas, and lyrics, and notes that I indeed dream about someday making something powerful with. Thank you for this man. Thanks for the commitment to seeing your vision through. I am jealous, and I can only aspire to make a project half as compelling as this. You are inspiring. I love this all the way down to your cover art styling....I was going to do a real rough, gritty painting for what I was imagining, had a few draft styles in mind... Was thinking about dabbling into pastels again... Luckily for me, imagining the possibilities is half the fun... Which is wonderful, because I can't commit to seeing through 99% of the stuff that's crossed my mind over time. Just too much. Which is why I am very glad I've learned to be able to just enjoy the idea of things, and if it does physically work out... Double wonderful :). How was that cover art produced? Is that digital? I can't quite tell... I always know an album is good when it devolves me to disjointed praises and ranting!

listening to these feels like unlocking a new stage of grief and i'm here for it

man im sorry you got broken up with, you have really cool songs but I hope your feeling better. im here for you man. ♥️

I honestly don't even know how to describe your music, but I mean that in the best way. It's just got such a unique sound, once I put my headphones on and hit play it's like I'm taken to a space away from reality.

god i love ur music and connect to it in ways ive never felt with music. thank u for creating what u create,, hope ur doing ok

I have 2 leading theories on this albums meaning 1: it’s a different form of expressing the 5 levels of grief 2: leaving a toxic relationship I’m leaning more towards theory 2 because of the album name Sisyphus, in mythology sisyphus was cursed to roll a boulder up hill and everytime he was near the top it would come right back down just like the cycle this person is going trough in being in a toxic relationship but unlike Sisyphus they are able to break this never ending cycle leading to the track moving forward and without you But I’m probably digging way to much about it

Fucking love this album, i´m feeling very inspired by your music and how you make this kind of simplistic-basic synth sounds to be so beatiful

vivi your songs make me want to write thank you

god i love how so much of your music gives me that feeling of derealization oh and postconscious is my favorite (and not just cause of my name lol), the slides are ver naice

I love this! you’re amazing

amazing. keep continuing this great work.

ITS HERE!! Amazing job 💖

Sisyphus is my favorite :3 great job

this is art this is so good this is reanimating

this is what ive been looking for all my life

i share your music with my friends all the time because its just so fucking good man. your able to convey emotions and ideas through just sound without lyrics and that takes fuckin talent, im so excited to see where you head in the future vivivivivi, and one day i hope to hold all these albums in my hands

Vi's music's are so calming in some way

This is the future credits for a game vivivi your music is either epic battle or floating in the abyss both are epic

it's so goooooood man you're so talented!

this is so good???? honestly

Listened to the whole think like 10 mins after it came out last night. Good shit vivi

Bangers from front to back

Absolutely amazing

Although I’ve never been broken up with (as there has been nobody to break up with me) and I have no reference for what that would feel like, I can only imagine that this does a great job expressing that!
