Over Galtier

Galtier is an artist who hones in on amalgamation as the focal point of his output; his works occupy an expansive somatic energy that has evolved significantly over his decade-long presence in the global electronic scene, drawing for a plethora of genres and cultural styles of rhythm and tone. Sporadic unexpectedness in rhythmic pace and structure coupled with a coagulated sense of mood is the formula for Galtier’s productions and DJ sets; a willingness to explore change and progression in sound while maintaining a sense of driven cohesion has been a driving force throughout his foray into sound design. The productions on both his 2018 'Terran' EP and his debut album 'Pulchra Es Elementis', released in 2021 are essentially 'Blade Runner soundtrack with Drums' utilising impactful, theatrical melodic qualities and borrowing heavily from Techno, UK Bass, world influenced percussive rhythms, Drum & Bass, Dancehall and Ambient. Later works have been experiments into raw signal music, heavily FM-oriented and further into the abstract alien. Galtier’s 2022 ‘Imitation Plantae’ EP and his latest 2023 release ‘Nausea Signal Studies’ are examples of said evolution, with the inclusion of hardware frequencies into the mix and a further delving into resonance and organic movement of processed noises.
