DESCRIPTION:
Los Angeles-based glitch producer Tyler Chase, known by his Cryptex moniker, is back with his debut album,and it’s as exhilarating as it is diverse.
Cryptex has quite the impressive resume for a 21-year-old. He has been working in the entertainment industry since the ripe age of 17. In addition to his passion for music, his passion for acting has landed roles film and television including AMC’s, “The Walking Dead” and FOX’s, “Sleepy Hollow”. Acting isn’t his only passion, however, which remains all the more evident with each of his musical releases.
His first EP, Isolated Incidents, has become a staple among glitch enthusiasts and led him to collaborating with MTV and Elastic.tv to create customized remixes and mashups for each category of the 2014 Video Music Awards.
End Silence, his 14-track debut album, fuses genres like glitch, dubstep, trap, moombahton, electro, classical, acoustic, hip-hop and even jazz, showcasing his truly diverse abilities as a musician. The LP also features vocals from San Francisco grown, Portland-based Raquel Divar, Atlanta-based Aliya Smith and Cryptex himself.
“The aim of glitch is to balance sounds that would not always sound the most pleasing in a truly harmonious way, taking the CD skips, the stutters, and the glitches and making them shine, captivating the listener in a complex yet melodic world of sound,” Cryptex said of the album.
End Silence releases Dec. 8, 2014 on Cryptex’s label, Orphic Recordings. The album will be the very first release on his label, and it’s safe to say, he’s raised the bar extremely high. Orphic Recordings: orphicrecordings.com
