about

"ARCHIVES."
A COMPILATION ALBUM OF UNRELEASED WORKS AND THROWAWAYS, BOTH FROM RECENT MONTHS TO YEARS AGO WHEN THE PROJECT WAS IN ITS INFANCY, AND MIND BEHIND THE AUDIO WAS JUST STARTING THE JOURNEY INTO ELECTRONIC MUSIC.

THE FIRST SECTION OF THIS RELEASE INCLUDES VARIOUS LIVE RECORDINGS AND REMASTERS OF SONGS FROM THE ALBUMS IDENTITY CRISIS, RAPTURE, AND MALEDICTION.
SECTION TWO LEADS INTO MORE EXPERIMENTAL WORKS I NEVER INTENDED ON SHARING, SOME LEADING OUTSIDE OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC.
SECTION THREE ENDS THIS EXPERIENCE WITH WORKS FROM THE INFANCY OF THE AB13 PROJECT AS A WHOLE. THIS IS INCLUDING WORK STARTED IN EARLY 2017 - WHAT YOU'RE HEARING HERE IS UNTOUCHED RENDERS DIRECTLY FROM 2018.

A MESSAGE FROM AB13:
"This is a weird concept to go back to. Honestly, I hate my older projects, and at some point I do intend on remaking things like my first album as I genuinely liked the ideas I had, but my lack of knowledge in this weird scene of audio manipulation from a music theory standpoint as well as basic engineering hindered what could have been great work.
In the AB13 story, I'd see my first album 'FEAR' as me sounding lost, like I didn't know what I was doing - because I had no idea what I was doing.
My second album 'IDENTITY CRISIS' was an attempt of trying to figure out my own sound and where I'd be in the electronic music scene.
My third album 'RAPTURE' was my way of making a complete 180 with everything I knew, saying 'fuck it, this is the direction I want to go.'
My fourth and most recent album 'MALEDICTION' was a statement to all who discover the AB13 project in the future - This is a one of a kind, unadulterated look into what pure persistence and determination against all odds can end up turning into - a cohesive thing that can be understood.

All music is a universally understood language. There are few who know how to speak it. My work used to be a poor attempt at communicating this concept - Now it's blossomed into something so much more than just music."

NEW REMIXES COMING SOON.
LIVE SHOWS COMING EVEN SOONER.
IF YOU HAVE JOINED ME ON THIS INVASION THAT'S BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR OVER A DECADE, YOUR SUPPORT WILL NEVER GO UNAPPRECIATED.

FROM THE MIND OF ANGELO BALTHAZAR...
THIS IS AB13.
