PREMIERE: SCKDRWR “INFREQUENT LIFE CHANGES”
The journey starts with stepping into an elevator and ends with the starting car engine. In those fragmented moments, peeling off layers of noises, luscious pads twirls and sparks its gentle warmth, fluctuating like ocean waves or the first sight of dawn.
It’s hard not to notice the vertical, multi-layered percussion essential as the bone of the song. Scattered, spirited particles bouncing alongside glitchy, realistic clicks right under your nose while in the distance, a rhythmic jitter drives the motion forward. A sense of playfulness and brightness gleam in its rich, emotive melancholy soundscape.
“This song is my attempt to capture the brightness, and the melancholy in my infrequently changing, routine-oriented life,” sckdrwr commented, “the song is about finding the signal inside the noise. Finding a groove in the space between spaces and moments between moments.”
Pronounced as “sock drawer,” sckdrwr is an electronic artist from the Bay Area. “Infrequent Life Changes” is the title track from his forthcoming debut album, mending field recordings and lubricated pads with a personal touch of creativity.
