Biography of Calmer
Collin M. Palmer aka Calmer produces music with a mix of seemingly disparate frenetic beats and lucid analog melodies. Pulling from a strong background in composition, Calmer shows a jazzy sensibility that grows at turns into spastic avant-garde.
Calmer started playing music at the age of five when he began to study percussion. He developed as a drummer in his teens while simultaneously learning piano from his mother and began writing music by exploring electronic sounds with samplers and drum machines. This transformed into movement toward computer recordings of instrumentals and organic sounds . His ability to intertwine complex programming and instruments has developed over the years.
Calmer’s own description of the music genre he falls into is “futurist jazz fusion” and his live act combines live drumming, traditional instruments and a laptop. He draws inspiration from Miles Davis, Dave Holland, Tony Williams and Billy Coblem to form a new sound in which he explores depths of complex arrangements and smooth bridges. Although the Polyvibe records recording artist’s music has been impacted by great jazz minds he doesn’t imitate their sound as much as he appropriates it, finding his own way through a futuristic style orgy of piano and drum, drum and computer.
Calmer is Collin M. Palmer from New York City, a musician who combines his knowledge of jazz and classical composition with intricate programming skills. Calmer’s music has a strong, merciless groove and a keen sense of tension and release. None of the cheap trademark tricks of IDM and glitch hop dilettantes exist. Calmer is often compared to the likes of Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, and Boards of Canada; but to pigeon-hole his music is an injustice to his unique style. His live act combining live drumming, traditional instruments and laptop is not to be missed.
