cafe_phoenix A very clever, witty album. I've been a fan of both piano and chiptune for a while, but I never imagined a hybrid album like this. Truly amazing work! Favorite track: Here's How!.

☆

Aivi is an archaeologist with an adventurous heart. One day, during an excavation in tropical Ekstria, she finds a mysterious black box buried in the sand…

☆

"The Black Box" is a collaboration between Aivi Tran (piano) and surasshu (chiptune). Bonded by our love of classic video game music and a fascination for fusing different styles, we set off on an adventure together. We hope that you enjoy this chronicle of our voyage!

All artwork is drawn by the amazing Diana Jakobsson. Her work combines influences from Belgian comics with American and Japanese, all mixed together with her own unique style.

Download includes 29-page full color comic.

Special thanks to Diana Jakobsson, Dmitry Zhemkov, Andrew Lim, and our friends and family!
