DESMOND MASE - ARTIST STATEMENT
Space Rock/Future Soul/Hip-Hop Hybrid...
"I create multilayered, hook-driven soundscapes. Each song a short chapter in a wider, more expansive sonic narrative. The different aspects of the human condition surrounded, and supported by an alternate aural universe.
Primarily a vocalist, I also like use a variety of electronic instruments, new technologies, and effects processors to create and complete each piece. From spoken word to full voice, subtle fingerpicking to distorted, overdriven synth, an array of stylistic options are used to shape, expand, amplify, and intensify the different themes and emotions of the journey.
I aim to colour the simplest, and most universal human emotions with a wide variety of sonic textures and percussive pulses to tell a tale. New technologies narrating universal emotions.
