Meet Ijah, the artist behind R3b3l, who is a high-functioning autistic creator. He experiences music in ways most of us can’t fully grasp. It follows him into his sleep, bleeding into his dreams and becoming part of his night. Ijah’s learned to embrace these ever-present melodies. He wants you to find your own meaning, build your own stories, and connect with his music on your terms.
“The music box of memory winds itself, playing songs only the heart remembers.”
“Carousel” is the perfect example of how Ijah’s creative process works. Those gentle piano notes reminded him of a carousel ride, and once he had that image, everything else fell into place. He added violin strokes for warmth, kept the drums light with soft kicks and claps, and everything else just clicked. You can put it on repeat, and it just flows, making it perfect for studying, working, or just zoning out for a bit.
It’s instrumental music that leaves room for your imagination to wander, and maybe it’ll take you back to your own childhood memories. That openness is exactly what Ijah intended. If “Carousel” sounds like your kind of vibe, Ijah would appreciate you showing some support. Let him know if his music connected with you.
