艺人介绍

像许多乐队的核心人物一样,乐队主唱Klayton也是当仁不让的全才,不仅身兼写手,制作,混音的重任,而且从Vocals到Guitars, Keyboards, Percussion也都样样精通。他的目标就是将不同的音乐风格融合成一种玄妙的声响,一种诠释黑暗的美丽。到目前为止,他们有两张正式专辑,一张是03年同名专辑,一张是特别出版的双碟作品。前一张在Billboard网络销售排名17,单曲"I Believe You"在R&R Alternative Specialty Show中排名11,并且于2004年获得7项Just Plain Folks Music奖,其中包括年度最佳制作和年度最佳专辑奖。而另一张则像是前作的补充,这张被称为The Beta Cessions的专辑收录了前作的器乐版,原始DEMOS和重新混音的版本。首张专辑中我还是更喜欢"Under My Feet"和"The Last Firstborn"。"Under My Feet"由清澈的吉他乾净的人声开始,渐渐混入电子及工业的元素直至喧嚣的高潮,再渐渐退却至吉他和人声的状态,起伏恰倒好处。"The Last Firstborn"在开始已经将电声展露无余,并不时加入重型RIFF及飘渺女声,主唱的声音则游离于流畅的旋律之中,使整首歌耐听程度大大加强。

看The Celldweller的现场就如同经历一场充满先锋艺术及摇滚激情的革命,多变的效果加上纷繁的音乐几乎调动起每个人的神经。

Celldweller – the versatile outlet of the artist, performer, producer, songwriter, programmer, and remixer Klayton, began as a producer pseudonym in the early 90’s. Now, over a decade later, Klayton uses the name to deliver his vision of progressively combining multiple genres of music. Taking a unique approach to mixing styles, Celldweller fuses the electronics of drum & bass and techno, with rock and orchestral elements, meshing the synthetic and the organic, darkness with beauty, into a cohesive blend entirely its own.

2000 - Klayton independently releasd a Numbed and Signed 250 Limited Edition Celldweller EP featuring "Symbiont," "Own Little World" & "Fadeaway."

2001-2002 - Klayton wrote & recorded the Debut, Self-Titled Celldweller album.

2003 - Klayton independently released the self-titled debut Celldweller album, and reached 17 on the Billboard Internet Sales Chart. The album garnered Top 40 Metal Radio charting, and the track “I Believe You” reached 11 on the R&R Alternative Specialty Show Chart. The debut album also received 7 awards at the 2004 Just Plain Folks Music Awards, including: Producer of the Year and Album of the Year. Guest appearances included Jarrod Montague of Taproot and mixes by Ben Grosse and Grant Mohrman.

2004-2005 - Celldweller tours nationally, performing with acts such as Mindless Self Indulgence, Three Days Grace, Deadstar Assembly, Godhead and Acumen Nation, amongst others...

2006 - Klayton co-wrote and performed the Theme Song to Criss Angel’s A&E Television Show Mindfreak, co-produced the Mindfreak CD Soundtrack, created a Remix to and co-starred in a music video for the theme song and also made a cameo appearance on a Mindfreak episode.

2007-2008 - Klayton’s fierce electronic programming & production skills have captured the minds of the electronic music world as seen in a full page feature for Keyboard Magazine and a recent appearance for Apple demoing Logic Pro audio software at Remix Hotel L.A. Klayton has also been included in the book, Apple Pro Training Series Logic Pro 8, featuring the Celldweller remix of lvl's track "Home" in the book/dvd combo, allowing fans to see & interact with the remix session.

Klayton has recently completed an aggressive guitar-based Drum 'n Bass remix for Warner UK act Pendulum's single "Propane Nightmares," released in April '08. The remix will also be appearing on a special edition release of Pendulum's new album In Silico.

Klayton has also captured the interest of the Film/TV industry having licensed every track from the Debut Celldweller album. Credits include: "The Spirit," "Iron Man,” "Speed Racer,” “CSI” (Superbowl Spot), "Spider-man 2,” "Spider-man 3,” “Superman Returns,” “Silent Hill,” “Doom,” "The Last Legion,” “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” “Supercross,” “XXX: State of the Union,” “Constantine,” “Catwoman,” “Redline,” “The Punisher,” “Dirt,” “Friday Night Lights,” “Paycheck,” “Timeline,” “Mindhunters,” “National Security,” “Bad Boys 2,” “Crackdown” “The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift,” “Need For Speed: Most Wanted,” “Project Gotham Racing 3,” "Dance Dance Revolution Supernova 2,” “Enter the Matrix” and “XGRA.”

Current - Having built an extensive list of Film/TV credits over the past several years, its no surprise that Klayton is currently preparing to release a new Celldweller project entitled, Soundtrack For The Voices In My Head Vol 1 (SVH), a primarily instrumental score-based album. The project features "Solaris," which has already been featured in a Movie Trailer for Frank Miller's "The Spirit." The SVH album will be released before the end of 2008.

As a Producer, Klayton has been active with a few new projects recently, working with FiXT label artist's Blue Stahli & Squarehead (Sebastian Komor) on a collection of singles as well as upcoming full-length albums.

A new Celdweller full-length studio album is also currently in production, which promises to be another effort towards breaking stereotypical genre boundaries. The new album will feature “Louder Than Words,” “Blackstar,” “The Lucky One,” and “So Long Sentiment.” With each track, Klayton continues to redefine the Celldweller vision, while maintaining his signature sound.
