In May, Le Destroy released her album, Trashumanism and is set to release an accompanying silent graphic novel of the same name due October 15. The 10-tracks turn into visual chapters anchored in Capital City - where a new metropolis is emerging and so is a groundswell rebellion rising up against it.
What happens when a musician traverses the mediums of comics, music, and games? Join Le Destroy (Producer/Musician, Cyberpunk 2077), Grammy-Nominated Comic Artist, Lordess Foudre and President of Lakeshore Records, Brian McNelis known for FALLOUT (Amazon), STRANGER THINGS (Netflix), WEDNESDAY (MGM/Amazon/Netflix), CYBERPUNK 2077 (CDPR) for a lively discussion as they do a deep dive into the unique transformation of Le Destroys Trashumanism the album into “Trashumanism,” the silent graphic novel.
Moderated by music editor, Erica Campbell (PAPER Magazine), learn how the perspectives of Le Destroy shaped the pillars of this multimedia work and its narrative, unearth how the impacts of real world events subliminally and seamlessly flow throughout the album and the comic, and explore how writing songs for Cyberpunk 2077 influenced the project and engaged a community.
A surprise announcement will be made during the panel and one lucky person will receive an exclusive NYCC bundle - including “Trashumanism” the graphic novel, and a limited edition Trashumanism Art Print.
“‘Trashumanism’ is about our regression and the negative impact ‘progress’ has had on our society, planet, and all its inhabitants.,” says Le Destroy. “You’d think with all this technology and awareness we’d be growing and evolving and be able to have complex solutions to these complex problems, but it seems like we just can’t find common ground in our way forward.”
Le Destroy creates a range of aggressively haunting industrial music, passionate punk anthems and dancey electronic rock. Although Le Destroy is relatively new, Olson’s history in music is not. She cut her teeth moving to Los Angeles fresh out of high school and honed her chops banging on her acoustic in true grunge fashion. She played for anyone who would listen and eventually managed to play her way into The Enterprise, a now defunct recording studio in Burbank, CA. There she found herself alongside the likes of P!NK, Linda Perry, and Dave Pensado. Both P!NK and Pensado were early supporters of Olson’s.
Olson continued developing her skills working on film music with industry powerhouses like Forest Whitaker, writing songs for Lakeshore Records movie soundtracks, and singing the theme song to an animated Barbie film by Mattel. Olson’s songwriting skills eventually earned her an invitation to speak on a Grammy Panel at USC and perform at the Producers and Engineers Party for the Recording Academy.
More recently, Olson’s work was commissioned by the makers of the Cyberpunk 2077 video game for their Radio Volume soundtracks and in-game music alongside Run The Jewels, HEALTH and SOPHIE – “Sleek and futuristic, dirty and aggressive,” said Charlie Clouser (NIN, Saw, American Horror Story). “Le Destroy really captures the feel of a scary future where anything might happen, and gets me pumped to do bad things in the world of Cyberpunk 2077.”
