On January 21st, 2023, over 300 musicians and visual artists challenged themselves to create something in only 18 hours. Visual artists had to create a unique album cover & its supporting graphics, and musicians were limited to no less than 50 seconds and no more than 70 seconds for their songs; in short, a speedrun. The event encouraged creatives to think outside the box, picking their ideas apart in order to keep only the essentials. At the finish line, we received some of the most exciting tracks on a FORM compilation to date.

In the colors of each album cover and between the notes of each song are reflections of us— the artists. To leave pieces of ourselves *out* in lieu of a time constraint isn't easy, but it allows us to conclude what's at the center of what we create. Creativity, no matter how bare-bones or how complex & nuanced it is, is something nobody can ever take away.

All proceeds from any% will be going to SpecialEffect, a charity working to make video games accessible to those with physical disabilities.

Blind producer, keyboardist, vocalist and electronic music composer. Building some sound bridges between distant music worlds :)
A blind producer? Like... blind blind? Yea! Shanti Vega AKA The Big Blind barely sees — and he makes music with a frenetic talking computer! How the hell does he do it? IDK, ask him…
Trained in jazz piano and rooted in classical music, Shanti infuses electronic music with elements from various genres, crafting a style that's both eclectic and distinctive. His versatility spans from EDM to pop, rap vocals, acid bebop solos, smooth jazz arrangements, and avant-garde improvisations.
In 2023, he released his debut album Unrequited Self Love Story with the emerging label @wearesilkenwood. He followed up in 2024 with the Funny Money EP, blending country, dubstep, and jazz into a fun cinematic experience.
He has also collaborated with underground labels such as @ponies-at-dawn @crossoverforcharity @antithesysmusic @phono-records @novelchapters @intrinzic-music and @0ssembli.
In parallel, he leads The Big Blind Trio, a jazz-electroacoustic project that pays tribute to electronic music icons of the last decade. He's also a professional producer for a new wave of experimental emerging artists, and has worked with Spain’s Fundación Juan March on a classical-electronic fusion project.
