Edit history

Aeriae is Wade Clarke, Sydney-based techno and baroque experimentalist and controllerist. His second LP, 'Victris', is due out on Clan Analogue Recordings later in 2013, and paving the way is current EP 'Nurse 2 Alyssa Type', the title track a dark techno cut of cascading textures taken from the album and backed up by a genre- tripping set of remixes and retakes from Clan Analogue associates. Aeriae has remixed tracks by Catcall, Chaingang, Delta Goodrem, Daisy M. Tulley, Itch-E and Scratch-E and Retina.it, and in 2012 he covered Severed Heads's 'Snuck' for Clan Analogue's Tribute Album 'Headspace'. Wade's grandfather was an engineer and almost-concert pianist, and Wade grew up playing the piano by ear. Prominent in his childhood repertoire were creaky renditions of 70s and 80s electronic film scores like Escape From New York, Halloween and TRON. These influences are all evident today in Aeriae's aesthetic of novel electronic music informed as much by Warp figureheads like Autechre
