Wild Awake fourth drop artist - Clyma
Clyma has been through a process to get to be the artist he is now. What started with The Infadels deformed and then formed into Snow Palms. Musically, this is a voyage from electronic rock to the kind of composed music associated with minimalism. Personally, it was not as straightforward, but necessary nonetheless. The next step is, again, both musical and personal. Musically, Clyma takes a left from Snow Palms into a more alternative electronic arcade. Personally, it’s a step to being present as a musician with his own name. To release the first music as Clyma during Wild Awake means that the collectors are truly there at the start, at the incarnation of a new artist scorching from the embers of previous musical reflections. Clyma makes sense of electronic music through nature, bringing listeners to nature through electronics.
In his own words: music production
“I’ve been exploring what it's like to bring. That studio space into different environments bring the family into my creative process. So we all work together now, my kids, my wife, people visiting. I'm constantly keeping a field recording diary. Because to me sound is like words. So I've got thousands of little voice notes, recordings of the family playing in snow, all kinds of stuff. Kids come in and bang on the kitchen table or playing with blocking spiels, xylophones. And I'm constantly capturing these as audio diaries. So I often start by listening through some of these little audio snapshots and I'll have Ableton open and I'll have a modular system, and then I will start sort of exploring these sounds and building on them.”
In his own words: why Wild Awake
“Recently, I feel really galvanized in my creativity by being part of the Wild Awake community. I had been incredibly dislocated from that feeling for a long time. I think that was due to the digitization of music. The digitization of relationships and the disconnect that social media brings to us, even though it promises greater connection. Somehow it connects with our heads, but not our soul. Is that my age? Is that what it does to everyone? I don't really know, but I've certainly felt disconnected from that. I think Web3 and the Wild Awake scene are bringing that sense of community back. And I think music ultimately is a social and communal practice. And now we’re trying to put that front and centre in musicking again through Wild Awake.”
We are super excited to share this with the world so mark your calendars for the drop on 22 June via TokenTraxx.
