Arthur is a new artist based out of Delaware county, PA. Having just turned 20, Arthur is a singer songwriter, producer and multi instrumentalist. He currently only records at home and as of yet has never debuted his music anywhere. Citing influences spanning several genres and decades, Arthur’s music stands out as an amalgamation of experimental songwriting and classical-esque melodic progressions. 

I was introduced to Arthur through a close friend and engineer, Caleb Laven. He played me one of the ‘kids’ stuff, a band that he had been working with and producing over the past few years in Philadelphia. I was immediately enveloped by the creativity and experimental nature of Arthur’s music. For quite some time I’ve been looking for releases that will help broaden the scope of PLZ and take it a step away from its electronic roots. Arthur’s music not only does this, but also builds upon his ‘Acid Pop’ predecessors. 

I think what I like so much about Arthur’s music is it’s fluidity. One day he’ll send me a hyper digitally-degraded synth pop track about being invisible (or at least ignored), and the next it’ll be a haunting lap steel ballad to working on a farm. I can never truly pin down what he’ll send next, but I’m always incredibly excited to hear it.

WHAT IS DIM...?
Digital instrumentation music, or DIM, is experimental music in which musical instruments produce sounds digitally rather than acoustically. This digitalisation process allows sounds to be modified and enriched through treatments and modulations.
