ABOUT

EXCAVARA is an interactive music experience by TMSTRY. Somewhere beneath a forgotten city lies an archive of lost music. You grab a pickaxe, you descend, and the track literally assembles itself around you — stem by stem, layer by layer — until the full mix plays at the core. The first 50 excavators of each drop own that track. Not metaphorically. On-chain.

This is not a game with music in it. It is music with a shovel. The digging exists so the listening means something.

CREDITS & THANKS

Built, written and recorded by TMSTRY — with an enormous thank you to the original excavation crew, the early testers and friends who dug, broke, complained and advised with surgical precision:

• AIDAN YAGU — who dug straight down, got stuck between two rocks, and accidentally invented our jump button. Every softlock you never experience is his doing.
• SÆRA NOVA— for taste, judgement, and asking “but why?” at exactly the right moments. The archive is prettier because she raised an eyebrow at it.
• ASH JOHANSEN — excavator #2, blooper reel legend, and living proof that you should sign in before reaching the core. Her outtakes are buried somewhere down there. Good luck.

Found a bug? Congratulations, it’s a relic now. Dig deeper.
