Virgo

exhouse Words do not fit neatly into a description of this accomplishment. It challenges genre, dimensionality, expectation. With its beautiful packaging and craftsmanship, Jerod’s freshman album is a product for people who love the experience of an album, the completist satisfaction of a beginning-to-end listening journey accompanied by compelling artwork and top notch experimental electronic music. Virgo is indeed a carefully designed doorway made with synths under the influence of Oakland. Favorite track: Wheaties.

about

news.feltzine.us/2021/02/21/jerod-s-riveras-virgo-exclusive-premiere/

"Recorded mostly on vintage synths, “Virgo” from Oakland artist Jerod S. Rivera creates a moody, immersive soundworld."

– Bandcamp New & Notable

“Three Flowers,” an intriguing IDM track of warped but tender electronics and has us yearning for more."

– XLR8R

"Oscillating between anticipation and meditation, each track conveys a haunting nostalgia and a gentle urgency to be felt and connected to. While you could passively listen to this album, “Virgo” makes for a potentially powerful listening session if you want it to be."

– Fault Radio

"An album of percussive, beat-oriented pieces influenced by hip hop and experimental electronic music."

– Whitecrate SF


This album "Virgo" was recorded mostly with a eurorack modular synthesizer and vintage synthesizers such as the Roland Juno 106, DSI Poly Evolver, and Roland D50, to name a few. The visuals for the album were inspired by sci-fi, gaming, and hyperreality. The idea was to create something that looked very real, but also has moments of obvious fabrication. The moving liquid metal energy in the center of this environment is intended to be abstract, but works with the basis of energy or life existing in various settings.

Recorded in Oakland, California between March and September 2020. Mixed by Jerod S. Rivera. Mastered by Calyx in Berlin. Artwork renderings by Peter Larson.
