Since 2001, Clark has sculpted sound into a myriad of diverse forms. His two decades at Warp Records witnessed irradiated and ecstatic experiments in electronica, techno, and rave, with equally colourful adventures in ambient, classical scores and cathartic lyrics for Deutsche Grammophon and his own Throttle Records. From St Albans, UK origins with frost-encrusted vignettes on Clarence Park to unleashing kaleidoscopic live sets on the world stage, there’s neither a dull nor expected moment in the immersive musical universe Clark has constructed so far.
But how does one even shift from, say, folk-driven sound collage on albums like Iradelphic to intense, malleable jungle tracks in live shows? Clark’s leaps from crushingly industrial to subtly acoustic are framed by his wide-reaching influences and no-limits approach to crafting such intricate soundscapes. Each album contains a unique thumbprint and dedicated exploration of a certain palette, manifested in flourishing melody, shimmering analog and digital texture, reshaped found sound and playful timbres created from scratch.
Twenty years on from his debut, Clark still has a voracious desire to challenge himself: his vocals are foregrounded on 2023’s Thom Yorke mentored ‘Sus Dog’, yet another elastic instrument in his repertoire. Whether learning drums for organic, eviscerating percussion on ‘Body Riddle’, or voicing his refreshingly singular songwriting on ‘Sus Dog’, Clark underlines the physicality of his everchanging sound.
📆 Clark will perform on TUE 27 AUG, with performances at 6:30PM + 8:15PM.
