ABOUT
IAMEVE
IAMEVE pulls you under. The world is surreal, the sound is cinematic.
Each release is its own contained world — conceptually driven and emotionally specific. The Huffington Post described it as "if Alice took Ziggy Stardust's hand and followed him down the rabbit hole." American Songwriter called it "epic songs that ooze with spacey surrealism."
The work has been placed in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, Ray Donovan, Work in Progress, and Love Island, and has earned recognition at HollyShorts and the Japan Media Arts Festival. IAMEVE is the project of composer and producer Tiff Randol.
“... if Alice took Ziggy Stardust’s hand and followed him down the rabbit hole to a world guided by the twists and turns of ethereal and colorful vocals.” - The Huffington Post
"Deftly and viscerally channeling Kate Bush and ’90s era industrial Bowie (remember Outside?), and with a few obvious nods to NIN, it envisions an explorer navigating a journey of the self, represented in video form by a sparkly avatar surfing the cosmos (without the help of space-racing billionaires, we might add).” - BlackBook
"epic songs that ooze with spacey surrealism. - American Songwriter
“ Her evocative sound tapestries are inspired by a world of a supernatural nature full of hypnotic vocals, spacey sounds, and surrealism. “ - Mundane Magazine
ARCHETYPE
What's Your Archetype?
IAMEVE has had a string of releases that are clearly fascinated by the collective unconscious, as proposed by Carl Jung. In her newest musical release “Archetype”, the deep dive continues as we unravel a series of archetypal themes wrapped in cinematic musical textures and immersive visuals. Archetype is a musical and conceptual exploration of the psyche and it’s many variants cloaked in a world of whimsy. Randol has made a habit of exploring archetypes in previous IAMEVE releases and in this particular chapter goes deeper, unraveling new aspects of herself and the unconscious collective in each song. From ‘The Seeker’ in “Raindrops” following her curiosity to ‘The Mother’ in “Unnerving”, a song written when Randol first learned that she was pregnant to “If I Were Queen”. “Red and Black” highlights ‘The Priestess’ or highest self, while “X Girl” gives voice to her inner child feeling everywhere like an outsider, and “Unravel the Genius Inside You’ in a cacophony of all these variants colliding. This EP is full of intimate self discovery and creates a dynamic and cinematic journey that is at times ethereal and playful, while veering fearlessly into dark and occasionally disquieting territory.
“WAITING FOR YOU TO WAKE MY LOVE, WAITING FOR YOU TO STEP UP, WAITING FOR YOU TO CLIMB TO THE HIGHEST PLANE. IF I WERE QUEEN AND YOU WERE MY KING AND THIS WAS OUR KINGDOM, I'D TURN IT ALL TO GOLD, NEVER DIE OR GET OLD, AND I'D GIVE YOU YOUR FREEDOM”
