Maero

We gave it our all, and created something truly special. Unfortunately, it's not always enough. Grateful to all Aetherians for having joined us on this voyage. We aimed for the stars, and we created a new world. Aetheris 🪐✨

The story that started it all.

A personal one. The entry of vulnerable emotion into the Awakening Saga. Not about fear anymore, or dystopia, or dream. Instead, pain. Bonus points for those who can decode all the lyrics

The backstory that explains it all. Can't wait to unveil it

Being able to stand by each of your creations, their originality and artistic depth, is one of the greatest fulfillments as an artist - and one that is not given. I'm incredibly proud of how expansive the Maero musico-cinematic universe is, how each piece is so unique and yet they all form part of the same whole. Pripyat is no exception - a manifestation of pure chaos, from its distorted sounds to the nightmarish cinematic experience. A third AAA musico-cinematic experience of a brand new fantasy world? Must still be dreaming.

Cinematic? Check. Banger? Check. Will give you nightmares? Check. Welcome to Pripyat ➰

IT'S COMING.

Third song. Third chapter. Third AAA cinematic episode. The groundbreaking universe continues 🪐✨

After New World Order’s relentless aggression, I felt the need for a kind of healing; for the story to evolve into an airy, ethereal dimension. Alkaline was written from that feeling ✨ I stumbled upon the sound that would end up forming the core melody and was enchanted by its dreaminess. It felt like iridescent crystals reflecting light in a cave. This imagery stayed with me as I wrote the episode’s story, imagining what could have happened to give the hero’s adventure such a mystical quality 🔮 Many iterations later, Ignis visually brought the story to life better than I could have dreamed. A true masterpiece. The movement, colors and the entire experience combined into a kind of hypnotic feeling almost impossible to put into words. It’s what I felt writing the song, and I hope you will feel it too

Original music at the foundation an original cinematic universe? Must be a dream 🪐✨

Great to see the team continuing to ship, and integrating NFTs more and more into the Portal.

A song. A story. An animated experience. A multi-layered artistic universe. Aetheris FTW 🪐✨

Proud to be on the green chain. An exciting road ahead to all Aetherians 🪐✨
