Oak by Carey Clayton Carey Clayton : Oak.
Meditative yet pulsing, textural yet driving, future americana music.


In this work I was playing with how seemingly opposite sonic textures (acoustic instruments on one hand, and ethereal, artificial sound effects on the other hand) could coexist together. I like to think of this music as futuristic, dark Americana.

For the most part Oak was inspired by Kahlil Gibran's book, The Prophet. "...and stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow."
