Dylan Cassidy

It's time for us both to wake up now
And see on which side we truly lie
This dream only belongs to one of us
Which means the other is about to die
- "Divine Lightning" from The Emerald Hymnal

My name is Dylan Cassidy. I am an avant-garde artist. You can find all my works here.

I’m an author, singer-songwriter, and programmer. My music is eclectic and sensual. It spans electronica, ambient, post-rock and more. My video games vary from platformers to horror to musicgen games.

I’ve published two songbooks so far - The Black Hymnal (2018) and The Emerald Hymnal (2024).

About Me

I was born and raised in Alabama. My parents were both musicians, and they passed their love of music onto me. I began writing my own music in my teens, releasing my debut album “Mirrors for Princes” in 2012. I often write with a unique, tuplet-heavy sound. I also write a lot of music for my own indie games.

I was 12 years old when I began making games in February 2004. I strive to make transcendent, evocative video games and I love collaborating with friends. I also run the Shawn64 Archive in memory of Shawn Noel.

I began to synthesize my knowledge of music and coding in my 20s, releasing microtonal and generative music software in 2016. Since then, I’ve been exploring the possibilities of a-life systems and models of consciousness.
