Ultima Flux is the first full-length Ahero LP in itself and it's completely composed without samples like my previous work. It took a good long 5-6 months to complete and I'm happy to say I will be kickstarting a record campaign through Qrates!

Q: Why should I back this campaign? Is it worth backing?

A: It is truly up to you. My album isn't for everyone, and as much as I'd like it to be, you may as well listen! The worst that could happen is you end up hating it.



Q: What exactly is Ultima Flux? What does it mean?

A: Ultima Flux started as a tribute to nature from a vaporwave standpoint. I really liked how it was turning out but as I mostly use only synthesizers and drum machines, it didn't feel natural. So Ultima Flux became this sort of "virtual nature utopia" to me. Like the end of the world in a sense. Ultima, meaning last, and Flux, a metaphor for the changing of seasons, describes the final "Flux" in seasons. As technology slowly takes over, the Ultima Flux occurs and we become completely in control of nature. It's a complicated concept I'd love to expand upon with an artbook and all that fun stuff, but let's start small with a record!



Q: Will this ever get repressed if it sells out?

A: Probably not. I don't imagine we'll double the amount of backers BUT if I hear a demand for repress it is highly likely!
