ANI AFTER DEATH – “VR THEME”
THE BROKEN RECORDS
“VR Theme” is the fifth single from trip-hop/alternative artist Ani After Death.
VR Theme” is built on cinematic trip-hop textures, deep bass lines, hypnotic rhythms, and dark atmosphere.
Ani’s musical influences are rooted in her life experiences growing up in the newly liberated, post-apocalyptic world of a crumbling evil empire, literally in the shadow of a nuclear reactor – the identical twin to the infamous Chornobyl. New dreams rising out of the ruins were at once both about death and rebirth, repression and freedom, fear of the past returning and of hope for a free future.
Ani’s music blends dark, 90s-inspired trip-hop textures with modern sonic elements, ethereal vocals, and a haunting, cinematic atmosphere.
ARTIST QUOTE
“VR Theme” and accompanying video, directed by Roman Hense, explore the boundary between reality and what lies beyond it: where do we go when reality becomes unbearable? What worlds can we create? And are they boundless?”
