SciFi4Music: Part 2… IAMEVE – The Everything Nothing
Greetings ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the second installment of SciFi4Music, SciFi4Me.com’s new series on music and musicians with a science fiction and fantasy flavor, and our second in a series on singer/songwriter Tiff Randol’s IAMEVE The Everything Nothing.
A science fiction and fantasy fan herself, Randol has crafted a science fiction themed concept album, where, over 12 songs, the main character, Eve Ami, tries to escape from a dystopian future and finds herself falling back through past lives on a journey “from self-destruction to self-love”. Randol has had songs featured on TV shows like The Hills, The Lying Game, Degrassi, and Royal Pains and she’s been heard on MTV and VH1, Comedy Central among others.
I’ve already touched on what I think of the first single and video from the album, “Throw Me A Line”, in our first installment, but in short, it evokes Metropolis, 1984 and Blade Runner, with Randol’s vocals and lyrics lending themselves extremely well to crafting the journey Eve has begun. But enough of my writing about it, let’s hear from Tiff Randol herself, in the Skype interview I had with her earlier this month.

As I say in the video, SciFi4Music will be following Eve’s journey, and we’ll be be back in touch with Tiff as new tracks and videos come out. You can follow along here with us, and at the IAMEVE site, www.iamevemusic.com. And because it is a really cool video, here it is again…
