ill-esha presents Cryptowaves, an album made entirely of cryptocurrency graphs turned into synth wavetables alongside lyrics inspired by phrases taken from crypto-finance.

The story emerges of The Orphan Block, an avatar born inside the blockchain and her journey: from birth into chaos, discovering pure joy, confronting isolation and sabotage, and eventually reaching oneness with the universe and discovering her own true name, in four chapters.

This is limited-edition art (10 prints only) blending photography, digital painting, generative visuals and sound design. All graphs and non-vocal sounds sourced entirely from Bitcoin first-quarter 2021 charts.

Inspired by The Orphan Block's journey through Cryptowaves, Chapter 1: Black Swan.
