Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })James Ferraro (born November 7, 1986) is an American musician, composer, producer, pianist, vocalist, poet and conceptual artist.His discography ranges from the 'hypnagogic pop'-defining 2000s period of his work, which featured surreal lo-fi drone soundscapes among tape-manipulated TV samples and arpeggiated synths, to his more modern and sophisticated work which shifts from electronic classical, to trap music, R&B and rock, to glitch music, sound collages and ambient music. His albums, often highly conceptual, follow themes like hyperreality, cybernetics, pop culture, modern America and the collapse of civilizations.He can be found on Twitter and YouTube.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Notable work: Multitopia (2008) Clear (2008) Discovery (2008) Marble Surf (2008) Chameleon Ballet (2008) KFC City 3099: Pt.1 Toxic Spill (2009) Wild World (2009) Last American Hero (2010) Night Dolls with Hairspray (2010) Far Side Virtual (2011) Sushi (2012) NYC, Hell 3:00 AM (2013) Skid Row (2015) Human Story 3 (2016) Fanfare for the Boston Marathon 2017 (2017) Anthrospray: Music for Extinction Renaissance (2017) Troll (2017) Four Pieces for Mirai (2018)

Cryptic Conversation: A lot of the text-to-speech dialogue on his 2010s records (i.e. NYC, Hell 3:00 AM and Human Story 3) ends up being this way due to a combination of disturbing prose, tech lingo and brand names.

Artistic Stimulation: His middle to late 2000s music under the name 'Lamborghini Crystal' was supposedly entirely created while he was addicted to huffing computer duster.

And I Must Scream: His ongoing Four Pieces For Mirai project focuses on a fictionalized version of the botnet of the same name, who seeks only to free humanity from technology while unable to save its environment or make its own decisions.

I Have Many Names: Ferraro's early work has been released under tens of different names. Just to name a few: 8pashupinath, Acid Eagle, Angel Snake, BEBETUNE$, Edward Flex, K2, Keyhole Voyeur, Liquid Metal, Nirvana, The Wooden Cupboard and Lamborghini Crystal, which was a band created with himself under the name of "J. C. Peavey". However, most of these had just one album released under them.

Creepy Monotone: Maybe not an entirely intentional element of his music. NYC, Hell 3:00 AM incorporates text-to-speech voices on a level that achieves Nothing Is Scarier. Parts of Skid Row invoke this, especially with the lyrics (which were originally poems). Anthrospray: Music for Extinction Renaissance bases its lyrical content entirely on an epic poem by Ferraro about fidget spinners, 3D printed buildings, climate change and "the rape of Demeter". It is read out entirely by text-to-speech voices who show no emotion whatsoever.
