Bridging Worlds: Classical Form Meets Electronic Imagination
Released in 2025 and spanning a generous collection of original pieces, I Think Therefore I Boot embraces a hybrid musical identity. The album is rooted in classical ideas — thematic development, dynamic movement, and architectural flow — while embracing modern electronic sound design, blending synthesizers, ambient textures, rhythmic abstraction, and evolving harmonies.
The result is music that feels:
- Cerebral yet emotional
- Intimate yet expansive
- Structured yet exploratory
Whether you’re listening while creating, reflecting, or simply letting the sound wash over you, this album rewards both focused attention and immersive background listening.
The Art That Speaks for the Sound
The visual identity of I Think Therefore I Boot is as deliberate and expressive as its music. The album cover features original artwork by Jonathan from his DeviantArt page — a vivid depiction of mood, motion, and abstraction that mirrors the emotional and conceptual breadth of the compositions.

This visual piece captures the spirit of the album — a convergence of thought, feeling, pattern, and resonance — reminding us that music and art are inseparable languages of the imagination.
Inspirations & Intent
The album title plays on the philosophical proposition “Cogito, ergo sum” (“I think, therefore I am”), twisting it into a statement about creation, machine logic, and presence in sound: “I Think Therefore I Boot.” It’s a nod to both the introspective journey of the composer and the way music can “boot” a state of mind — activating thought, emotion, and reflection.
Musically, the album draws on:
Classical structures and motifs
⚡ Electronic sound worlds and synthesis
Emotive pacing and contemplative depth
The listening experience unfolds like a suite — moments of tension resolving into release, motifs weaving in and out, and electronic elements that feel almost orchestral in their expressiveness.
