The first album, recorded and produced by Casey Crescenzo (of the Dear Hunter) in 2008, tells the beginning of A06's saga. After an accidental murder he flees to flee into the night, lost and confused as to his newfound sense of awareness and placing the blame entirely on his creator. Meeting up with likeminded individuals, A06 returns to confront his creator and demand answers for the burden placed upon him.  The album can be streamed on [Apple Music](https://itun.es/us/azm1q) and [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/album/3xCcS9A2QLrnbx0uxB2cWh) (and probably other places), or you can check out [Bandcamp](https://a06rock.bandcamp.com/releases) for the "complete" version.

Fill out this form. ## Hello there. ### Thank you for visiting mattisnotarobot.com. While I'm proud of the work I've done on this site so far and am continuing to build in new things, I will admit: my ability to make this site work the way I want to on mobile is sorely lacking. So I did the only thing I could think to do... ...and just fucking obliterated the mobile option. Sorry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If you'd like to visit my site, please visit it on your desktop.  If it makes you mad that I don't have a working mobile site, don't worry: I'm mad at me too. Here's to me figuring out how to be a better site designer, *Matthew Meylikhov* © Copyright 2015 - [Archive](https://www.mattisnotarobot.com/archive/support/social/q2/90s-night) [[fa icon="chevron-up"]](https://www.mattisnotarobot.com/home#)
