Boulder, Colorado-based techno and electronic music producer Craig Heneveld’s sound thrives as an ecosystem. His music is built on a driving, relentless 909 kick drum as thick and unyielding as the growth of the forest floor. This kick serves as the substrate for the music, which roots, and flourishes throughout the rest of the sonic spectrum, sprouting vibrant flora that pervades. In the midst of this musical forest, polyrhythmic, shuffling percussion serves as the song’s canopy, where the synthesized waveforms teem with life that grows and then sheds back to the forest floor, feeding the cycle. These patterns, while mimicking the vibrancy of a forest, also give homage to the stars from which the canopy draws energy – creating a celestial tapestry that is both familiar and sublime in its size and unpredictability. This philosophy of a symbiotic ecosystem is deeply evident in his work, representing the intricate, seemingly unpredictable growth observed in the wilderness, which he reflects through his modular compositions. Each song he creates is a symbolic ecosystem, an interplay of energy, timing, and melody that he orchestrates into a unique soundscape that is as relentless as it is vibrant.
