The YouTube-esque home of (1) Aeriae's videoclips (2) Footage of videogames he programmed in the past for the Apple II computer, and (3) Other clips what he likes, yeah?
Aeriae is Sydney-based electronic composer/producer Wade Clarke. Aeriae tracks pulse with all the addictive beat microscopy and spliced-atomic delights of avant-IDM artists such as Autechre and Retina.it, and wed these rhythms to conspicuous tonal beauty. Rich organ lines, crystal-like textures and treated female voices wrap around tracks whose compass equally includes the song-like and the properly experimental.

Aeriae's debut album Hold R1 follows a trajectory of electronic openness, allowing it to incorporate into its Intelligent Dance Music trappings everything from the white girl gabber of Novelle Sis to the nursery rhyme catchiness of AMay, or the slow-building sonic disintegration of ten minute closer Rizdvo.

Fans of Autechre, Aphex Twin, Retina.it, Prefuse 73, The Black Dog or the UK's Warp label in general will appreciate where this music is going, as will any fans of innovative electronica or longevous music.

Hold R1 is available as a digital download globally via iTunes, and on CD through CDBaby and Sydney's Waterfront Records.

ABOUT THE CD:

Hold R1 was mastered with tape-saturated goodness by Reece Tunbridge (Silverchair, The Grates, Sarah Blasko) at Benchmark Mastering in Sydney, August-September 2007.

The album comes in the form of an enhanced CD including the videoclip for AMay, playable on your Mac or PC. This vibrant animation doesn't just look like it was made with eight-bit software - it was made with eight-bit software, namely Fantavision for the Apple II computer, over many months. The clip is a love letter to the aesthetics of early videogames and their futurist dreams, as well as being a retro-technical world first.

AERIAE QUICK PRESS:

Aeriae's tracks were first aired in 2006 by Unearthed, the ongoing competition for unsigned artists run by Australia's National Youth Radio Station, JJJ. Karpa, Areola and Clique from Hold R1 were picks and plays on Unearthed and JJJ's The Sound Lab. Over at garageband.com, Aeriae scored the Track Of The Day slot eight times between 2006 and 2008. He also collected his favourite reviewers' grab to date on the site when Caylin-Calandria was described as being 'like a Donkey Kong on crack running amok.'

Since the album's release, Aeriae has seen rotation on FBi FM and further play on JJJ, 2SER, 3RRR, LastFM, 2GLF and Rage in Australia, and on other radio and video shows internationally, including The Indie Revolution and Long Island's Live Music Media Show. Aeriae has remixed tracks by Delta Goodrem, Retina.it, Catcall and Cloudy, and is currently working on studio tracks for his second album, and his live performance.
