My name is Dylan Cassidy. I am an avant-garde artist. You can find all my works here.
I’m an author, singer-songwriter, and programmer. My music is eclectic and sensual. It spans electronica, ambient, post-rock and more. My video games include platformers, horror, shoot-em-ups, and music generators.
I’ve published two songbooks so far - The Black Hymnal (2018) and The Emerald Hymnal (2024).
I was born and raised in Alabama. My parents were both musicians, and they passed their love of music onto me. I began writing my own music in my teens, releasing my debut album “Mirrors for Princes” in 2012. I often write with a unique, tuplet-heavy sound. I also write a lot of music for my own indie games.
I was 12 years old when I began making games in February 2004. I strive to make transcendent, evocative video games and I love collaborating with friends. I also run the Shawn64 Archive in memory of Shawn Noel.
I began to synthesize my knowledge of music and coding in my 20s, releasing microtonal and generative music software in 2016. Since then, I’ve been exploring the possibilities of a-life systems and models of consciousness.
Use the form on my bandcamp if you wanna get in touch. I occasionally miss messages, so sorry if I don't get back to you!
