Chris Clark with Greetings from Warp

With the release of his latest album "Empty The Bones of You", the wunderkind of music Chris Clark has become a key artist on Warp label, on par with Aphex Twin and Autechre, who were examples for him not so long ago. In his twenties, he has managed to tour with IDM associate Mira Calix and the legendary group Plaid, touring all around Europe and North America (Warp Magic Bus Tour 2002) and receiving five-star reviews in major publications like The Guardian and The Independent. But Chris Clark has no intentions of stopping; his plans and dreams include touring with Radiohead, Brian Eno, and Bernard Parmegiani. Such words can only belong to someone who, at 21, as a university student, landed on Warp Records with his debut album.
Chris Clark composes astonishingly beautiful electronic passages, where ethereal ambiance and heavyweight techno seamlessly coexist. His music is not only an innovative sound but also has a special melodicism and harmony that resonates even with academic musicians. Having lived in the murkiest cities of the UK – Bristol and Brighton, Clark writes tense and magnificent high-quality electronica: crunch-munch, pop-pop-clicks and heavy synth sounds. Clark’s computer miracle eerily resembles nature – with its dark underwater currents, caves, and cold sound water bodies. In Moscow, Chris Clark will present his latest album "Empty the Bones of You" and prove that he is one of the most inventive musicians working with a laptop today.
His first album "Clarence Park" was released in 2001, after which the artist was discussed on BBC. According to him, the music of the album was inspired by listening to the track "Earnest Borginine" by Squarepusher while driving to college in winter: too loud a sound, too fresh air. A significant step in his career was the release of the single "Ceramics is the Bomb", for which he received praises and support from music authorities John Peel and Nick Luscombe, radio hosts at XFM. However, the main milestone for his musical recognition became his second album "Empty Bones of You", an organic sound world created by the imagination of an artist. Chris Clark is still convinced that his music resembles Prince's compositions, and he doesn't care what others think. Only a genius can afford that.
