Cobalt Core (Original Soundtrack) by Aaron Cherof — Official Visualizer YouTube video by Aaron Cherof

⤷ ゛it’s bandcamp friday! ˎˊ˗

that means all fees are waived and 100% of profit goes directly to the artist. it’s a great way to support the music you enjoy!

last week i dropped my new album stutter, here’s a little sampler ~

laryssaokada.bandcamp.com/album/stutter

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok
