Across his career, Shakey Graves—a.k.a. the performance moniker of Aus9n, Texasborn Alejandro Rose-Garcia—has inten9onally created thrilling musical adventures tailored to each fan: burning CDs and puFng them in personalized decorated bags; building intricate scavenger hunts that send fans in search of unique tapes; and Bandcamp-exclusive releases.

“The fans and musicians that really resonate with me—and the inexplicable ways that I find things that I like—are usually en9rely through randomness and chaos and accident,” RoseGarcia says. “I’ve always been on this quest to make people feel like my own music is a choose your own adventure.”

As Rose-Garcia releases his new Shakey Graves album Movie of the Week—a collec9on of songs whiQled down from epic-length recording sessions—he has devised one of his most innova9ve musical adventures yet. “For the album release, I’m seFng up a website,” he says. “On this website, there will be a way to shuffle a collec9on of alternate tracks and unique songs from the sessions in seemingly infinite combina9ons to create new albums.” Thanks to this cuFng-edge technology, fans will be able to own this alternate version and do whatever they want with it— giving them control over the des9ny of the music.

“Imagina9on really is the tool,” Rose-Garcia says. “The point is to make and create something yourself. Any way that I can allow people to apply their imagina9on over my music—and allow them to sculpt it using their own prompts—will let them create something new.”
