about

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

Diana Jakobsson's artwork combines Belgian, American, and Japanese comic influences, blended to form her own unique style.

Thank you to Diana Jakobsson, C-jeff, Maddie Lim, and our friends and family!
