sam gellaitry views the world through palettes of vivid colour.

a c minor scale becomes purple, plum, and grape. c-sharp minor is cool and blue. night time is best evoked in dark f minor reds and d minor induces rich forest green.

his music is a journey through experience, circumstance, and surroundings, told through his impressive, synaesthesia-informed knowledge of different musical tones. for him, song writing and producing has always connected to a process of pairing and contrasting different tones -“using the notes to create different sensations -like tension or relief in your head.”

in practice, this technique has seen him experiment with high-definition club music, crisp hip hop production, dabs of orchestral instrumentation and more, via ‘escapism’ -three eps released in the mid to late 2010s that cemented him as one of the most varied and visually strong producers of his generation.
