Sonyx is the name of my musical alter-ego.
I loosely base my compositions around the electric guitar, which has stoked my interest in musical creativity for three decades now.
Beyond enjoying that instrument for its own sake I'm interested in exploring uncommon sonic textures and colours. I tend to build
layers of guitars and do my own supplementary bits with bass, keys and other tools; loops and found sound via field recording supply
the rest. My themes are often as abstract and lateral as many of my paintings; in both instances, what one removes from the mix is
at least as important as what one injects. I'm forever crossing a wavering, rather precarious line and then, after a time away,
returning to carefully strip out the superficialities and excesses, eliminating yawning voids and unfortunate lapses. It's a cyclical
approach.
The selection below is from the past few years, including reinterpretations of other artist's songs as well as remixes of collaborative
sessions with old friends and fellow musicians.
