Aeriae is Sydney-based electronic composer/producer Wade Clarke. Aeriae's 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 White Girl voices wrap around tracks whose compass equally includes the song-like and the properly experimental.
Hold R1 is the debut album from Aeriae, eleven deep tracks of femtoscopic electro-funk, complex IDM beauty and addictive organ figures. The album's trajectory is one of 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 fan of innovative electronica.
ABOUT THE CD:
Hold R1 was mastered with tape-saturated goodness by Reece Tunbridge (Silverchair, The Grates, Sarah Blasko) at Benchmark Mastering in Sydney.
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.
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.

SEAFAR deliver a fat slice of electric space music - Hegira the sounds of a flight from danger. Wander the streets together, the noise of life muted by sheets of rain, brilliant colours dimmed in a pervading mist of grey. An instrumental amalgam of moody beats and synth drenched noises.
How are you? I hope you have had a merry holiday and happy new year!
I am writing to inform that i have put up a few new tracks from my coming album (Interference, summer 2009) - If you have a spare minute, please drop by and have a listen! I would very much appreciate it and I'd be thrilled to hear what you think!
The new tracks are: "Excuse Me", "Yours45" and "Run Too Fast"!
haha! there's usually more going on in my set, sadly I had to bend to the whim's of my computer, who was suffering from fairly severe stage fright, and went pretty easy on the manipulations.
any chance you shop in chatswood? i work at jb hifi and today i put something away for 'wade clarke' - i'm sure there aren't many of you!
we are no big fans of automated comments, but we too have to sleep sometimes, so for the sake of our physical and mental health we had to hire a robot this time... we hope you'll understand this.
