THE CONCEPT
BEHIND THE
RGB TRINITY
Each mixtape within this trinity symbolizes a specific color on the RGB color model — red, green, and blue — each representing a distinct system of the emotional spectrum.
​
The structure consists of three sets, each housing ten tracks. This arrangement comes together in an anthology of thirty songs. On top of that, the creative vision extends beyond the audio realm, bringing together visual components that amplify and make clear the trinity's intricate themes. These visuals portray the essence of a distorted and shadowed reality, a narrative that flows through not only the music and lyrics but also the overarching artistic direction. The underlying theory of combining colors and emotions to create light beautifully mirrors the endeavor to illuminate the darkness within, making this listening experience a captivating voyage of introspection and enlightenment.
​
In essence, this trinity is an immersive journey that fuses music and emotion, artistry and vulnerability. Its multidimensional approach offers an invitation into Steve's Basement's psyche, an opportunity for listeners to traverse the complex landscape of emotions, and emerge with a renewed sense of shared humanity.
THE STORY
At the heart of this story lies a muse — Steve's lover, who becomes the wellspring of inspiration driving this creative endeavor. The mixtapes become a canvas for shameless vulnerability, providing a platform for Steve's Basement to channel deep-seated emotions into cohesive artistic expression. This vulnerability is transformed into an art form that truly transcends any individual interpretation, resonating universally with listeners.
​
The first mixtape, embodied by the color red, delves into intense emotions, representing the raw and passionate side of the artist's journey. The second mixtape, characterized by the color green, signifies growth, renewal, and the pursuit of equilibrium. Finally, the third mixtape, mirrored in the color blue, explores more introspection, representing a deep dive into the artist's inner thoughts and deepest feelings.
​
Individually, each mixtape reveals a distinct hue of emotional experience. However, it is in their collective synergy that their true power is revealed. This union serves as a metaphorical journey towards finding solace, enlightenment, and a harmonious balance amidst the complexity of human emotion.
