Yoav Landau, who is behind The Living Tombstone, is a producer and composer from Israel; not long after moving to the States, a mutual friend introduced him to Sam Haft, who became his musical partner. Haft recalls that Landau had been doing the project on his own for about five years at the time. Landau describes his formative years in the My Little Pony fandom: “At the time, people were really crazy about the whole brony thing.” A producer originally from Israel, beside formative years spent in the My Little Pony fandom, may hint at a mix of places and communities behind the project. Backing vocals from Haft on Landau's Jump Up Superstar came first, and then the two wrote My Ordinary Life together. Landau is essentially an electronic music producer, bringing Middle Eastern folk influences along with pop and rock. From the start the project has been audio-visual rather than just audio. A producer originally from Israel who brings Middle Eastern folk influences may suggest that his background feeds the project's sound. Making audio and visuals together suggests that the stories around the songs are part of the music's identity. Haft says they treat it as a very structured full-time job and, even after moving into the music industry formally from YouTube, still work in a do-it-yourself way. LA Weekly writes that the pair's experience with Hasbro, after they made music about My Little Pony, was not so pleasant, which it ties to the toy company's giant, corporate nature. After playing in other people's worlds for a while, they made their own, through the zero_one comic book and the horror video game In Sound Mind. A do-it-yourself way of working that continued after the move into the music industry, beside an unpleasant experience with a giant corporate toy company, may suggest that the project stayed hands-on in how it worked. Haft says the project is music first, even when they make other kinds of content, and that people come for the music while they try to build as big a universe or playground as possible to play with it. Haft calls working with Warner Music an exciting transition and says the project's roots in the fandom world have informed the next steps it has taken as a music act. Alongside its original music, the project makes tributes to games and pop culture, and several of these tributes took off online. A universe built for people to play with the music frames the audience as players as much as listeners.
