Llyr

Llyr makes music and sonic ecosystems using field recordings, advanced studio techniques and classic synthesis. With one foot in the rave and the other committed to widescreen dynamics, dancefloor bangers sit side-by-side with textural ambient, sweeping harmonies and freeform electronica. A protagonist of total audio immersion, he has worked with headphone-only “3D” music as well as multi-channel surround. Llyr is a key artist, spokesperson and go-to remixer for Max Cooper’s Mesh platform. 2024 sees Dichromanticism released on the imprint, a five-track package fusing his signature blend of immersive, densely-detailed sonic wanderings with dancefloor escapism. This suceeds the unease and melancholia of ‘I Wrote This To Make You Feel Something’, which appeared on ‘Lattice 001’ at the end of 2023. His debut LP, ‘Biome’, was constructed from a library of sounds collected in the rainforests of Borneo - an expansive documentation of natural beauty and human interference. According to Loud And Quiet, “Llyr has mastered the balancing act of a high-concept album on his first go, an impressive ambient-techno hybrid that uses the rainforest as its playground”. This followed his contribution to Mesh’s binaural 3D Reworks series. Llyr takes inspiration from the surrounding world, channeling it through his productions, live shows and DJ performances into experiences both visceral and thought-provoking. With a focus on creating rich, layered music his work rewards repeat listens.
