Wello!

―Δxolotl's Signature Greeting

Nikesh Ashwin Kenneth, known professionally as Δxolotl (under the username of theaxolotlmusic), is a Sri Lankan Composer, Arranger, Lyricist, Pianist, Music Producer, Singer-Songwriter & Multi-instrumentalist.

Δxolotl's works includes fan-made original soundtracks inspired from Japanese anime franchises. He previously worked as a composer on indie projects, currently freelancing and is posting his own compositions and covers orchestrated & piano arrangements on YouTube.

Musical-Style and Influences.[]

Δxolotl cited composers such as Hiroyuki Sawano/澤野弘之, Yutaka Yamda, Joe Hisaishi, Yoko Kanno, Ryuichi Sakamoto† and Hans Zimmer, and musicians Ed Sheeran, Jin/じん and Alec Benjamin as his main musical influences, through the use of instrumentation, arrangement, songwriting & other aspects that make the composers & musicians stand out.

Δxolotl follows a similar titling systematic style for his music as Hiroyuki Sawano, which codes the title into a mix of Japanese characters, Numbers, English Alphabets, International Photonic Alphabets & other miscellaneous characters. Other titles include English, German, and Japanese.

Genesis Project/ゲネシスプロジェクト[]

The Genesis Project (ゲネシスプロジェクト) is a mixed-media endeavour currently in its pre-production stage. It features a series of monthly web novels titled Memento Mori: A Reason to Live, written by Δxolotl and illustrated by [TBA], set to be published on NamiComi. The project also includes original songs and soundtracks composed by Δxolotl. The story follows Adoniel Togami (咎神アドニエル), a reclusive software engineer struggling with existential despair, and Azrael, the "Archangel of Death", who appears not to take his life but to ensure he keeps it. However, something far more sinister lies beneath the surface.
