The sounds on Texture & Light’s new EP, “Eat Magic” bring listeners on a fuzzy, deep, slow motion journey across a dance floor, while the themes lead you deep within yourself. If this sounds heavy, it is - but it’s also light. There’s plenty of space between the big ideas for dancing or navel gazing. The songs on Eat Magic were performed live as they were being written, and they slowly evolved and grew in front of many different people before they were completed. Far from being created in a vacuum, they are living, breathing parts of Trevor’s 2017 life experience - and maybe yours too.

The lead off track, ‘Leaning In’ is a synth laden, sub touching, indie dance track with lyrics that are loosely inspired by Pema Chodron's philosophy of "leaning in to the sharp points” in times of difficulty. The acid line that shows up at the halfway point however, may encourage you to dance your cares away instead. 

‘Merlin’ is a deep ambient techno track that features twinkling bell synth sounds, a lead line played on a dulcimer, smooth sub drops, and a composite of three ancient poems from three different centuries. It wouldn’t be out of place on a new Four Tet album. 

‘Leave The City’ is the grittiest of the bunch - the drums and baseline head straight for the jugular as the song slowly unfolds into brighter synth sounds and lofty ideas about leaving the city behind - A favourite writing topic of Trevor’s. 

Closing the journey is ‘Infinite Push’, a short little dreamy ambient piece that offers to take you to inner space or outer space depending on your willingness to let go.

Texture & Light was created by Trevor Mervyn as a way to explore live instrumentation, synthesis, field recordings, and deep themes, while striking a balance between the dance floor and headphone day-dreaming. 

With an open mind, Trevor allows his unique brand of electronic music to lead him, not limiting the creative process to stay inside a genre or follow an exact formula. Texture & Light’s sound represents the music that Trevor was born to make, and it continues to evolve over space and time as he is carved by experience, joy, sadness, and wonder.

Texture & Light live shows use synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, loopers, voice, and guitar to bring listeners on a fuzzy, deep, slow motion journey to the stars, and deep within themselves.

Trevor’s musical releases have been charted by campus radio stations across Canada, reaching the National Earshot! Electronic chart, the Canadian iTunes Electronic chart, and topping the CBC R3-30.
