The Maek Pandamonium visual album is the first studio album by American recording artists Jason Maek and Zaena, released on October 6, 2014 by Maek. Developed as a simultaneous audio-visual medium, Maek Pandamonium 's songs are accompanied by 17 non-linear short films that illustrate and are interwoven to depict an abstract storyline critiquing pop culture.[1] It brought together 15 producers, 70 filmmakers and 10 editors for the first-ever visual album released by an independent record label.[1]
Background
The project was not originally intended to be a visual album. Jason Maek and Zaena transformed a studio apartment into a recording studio with equipment from Guitar Center, a music store, and a vocal booth made from a tent.[2] The recording process for the album took the duo a total of 10 days, and filming only took 15 shooting days.[3]
Screening
The project gained a lot of notoriety within the college demographic. Over 45 colleges and universities hosted individual watch parties for it.[4] The project premiered on the front page of Vevo, crediting its originality and creativity.[5]
Critical response
The album was called one of the most important albums in electronic music in 2014.[6] The album was described as electronic music meets Image Union crossed into early MTV music video days because of its clever use of artistic expressions set to a music soundtrack.[7] The visual album premiered on the front page of Vevo on November 3, 2014.[8]
