Meanwhile

by aivi & surasshu

supported by

zanderx An exquisitely light, bright and lively jazz piano meets chiptune. Never thought about this pairing but when performed by aivi & surasshu, this results in a mood lifting album. Songs have fantastic melodic content, kind of rare to see these days. It's like therapy. Favorite track: Slice of Love.

ch1pself I can hear every influence and album you've made along the way in each of these songs. Truly excellent. Favorite track: Periphery.

a_space_rock Now this is a solid album. Beautiful instrumentation with some fun tracks, no wonder this duo were picked up for the Steven Universe soundtrack. Probably one of my favorite albums to read to. (84/100) Favorite track: Wind Rider.

about

‘Meanwhile’ is an album about the passage of time. It’s a collection of piano and chiptune duets that have bloomed gradually over the last 10 years of our lives.

We always intended to release a sequel to our first album, ‘The Black Box’, but life kept getting in the way. Slowly but surely, we found little in-between moments to write personal music together. These songs are like our stolen musical kisses.

To be able to commit to something for 10 years and finally see it through is an incredible feeling. Thank you for listening to ‘Meanwhile’. We hope you enjoy this chronicle of our voyage.

Yet Another Day
by Megus

Megus has roots in ZX Spectrum music, but here shines with a charming mix of chiptune, full production, and live instrumentation! Also, the cover art was drawn by his son, which is incredibly cool. aivi & surasshu

Keep It Rolling
by Jim Nopédie

A lovely album about smallness, lightness, momentum, marbles, trains, time, and being in the moment. We listen to Jim's album regularly! aivi & surasshu

Anhelo
by Promtastik

An intricate blend of classical music, digital fusion, and Armenian and Spanish folk music. In our opinion, one of THE digital fusion albums of all time. aivi & surasshu
