Jimmy Myhrman

Message for listeners: "Thank you for listening and sharing!"

Jimmy Myhrman is 29 years old electronic music engineer from Gothenburg, Sweden. His passion for music production takes its roots in the mid 90's, when having started to experiment with trackers, such as FastTracker2, and being greatly influenced by MOD music he began oscillating his own music.

Within the years his studio was changing a lot from been purely software-based at some point to purely hardware-based and being a mixture of the two at the moment. It took years before tracks became an outstanding sense to other people, but since day one Jimmy found it really fascinating how a highly technical tool, almost similar to a programming language, can be used to create a creative and unique product that is so much different from what is usually produced by using computers.

“A piece of music is always a piece of music; a snapshot of your ideas and your mood from a certain time. When I listen to a track from 10 years ago, I know exactly what I thought about when I wrote it, what I wanted to achieve etc. It is a bit like looking on an old photo. I like that, and it keeps inspiring me to write new tracks…” – as Jimmy tells.

Usually ending up somewhere in the ambient, dub techno, dub oriented genres the most of Jimmy Myhrman’s tracks are based on minor chords, as Jimmy is striving to build up some sort of mysterious mood in his works.

Textural Being

Message for listeners: "Listen for the textures of the world."

Born and raised around a fundamental respect for music, Sage Taylor has never been a stranger to eclectic sounds. With parents who endorsed total freedom of expression his entire life, the young musician from the northwestern part of the United States began composing complete musical pieces as early as the age of 8. Through friends and extended family, who exposed him to a variety of genres and styles as he grew, he quickly found himself deeply rooted in electronic music, something that would stay with him the rest of his life.

Now 23, he resides in Portland, Oregon, only 60 miles from his birthplace, where the beautiful Pacific Northwest scenery and organic feel of the wilderness continue to influence and affect his music, something he's quite keen to continue to exploit for as long as it is necessary in order to bring listeners deep, relaxing mixtures of dub, ambient and techno.
