about

Son of Cataclysm was founded by Stewart Walker and graphic designer Easton West to reconcile life and creativity in our era of aprés de siècle anxiety. Focusing on a rotating set of milieux — environmental catastrophes, man's inhumanity to man, and our species' historical predilection for predicting the end of the world — Son of Cataclysm hopes to express its psychological and emotional response through music, artwork, and dissemination of primary sources from present-day and historical catastrophes.

Musically building from the template of electronic dance rhythms, Stewart adjusts the palette with a variety of recorded instruments, heavy synthetics, and unabashed sampling of past prophets, fed through a meatgrinder of broke-ass guitar pedals or high-end analog equalizers. Artifacts of the pre-Apocalypse #3: Jaguar is the third of Stewart Walker's five-EP series. The buzzy rhythmscape of Lord Housefly slowly builds through half-time basslines to a synth-heavy peak. Slipped off Fogwet Girders, inspired by the tragic secret history of the Golden Gate Bridge, is a murky aqueous track built from handcrafted bass buzzes and cymbal splashes. Emotionally ambiguous between feelings of confusion, loss, and the freedom of letting go, and a three dimensional sense of location this EP is eventful at every turn, moving techno fiercely forward.

Stewart Walker has been releasing electronic dance music since 1997, and worked with some of the most prominent minimal and techno labels in the community (M-nus, Tresor, Force Inc). His debut album “Stabiles” on Mille Plateaux was an instant classic of proto-Minimal techno, designed as audible room sculptures which DJs also liked. Shortly after founding Persona Records in 2001 in Boston, Massachussetts he moved to Berlin and ultimately released two well-received albums; the downtempo “Grounded in Existence” (2005) and his follow-up to his groundbreaking techno album “Live Extracts” entitled “Concentricity.” (2008)

Stewart Walker Berlin, Germany

Stewart Walker has developed a new palette of processed instruments based on electric guitar, and drums which he continues to intertwine into baroque orchestrations as he began on his original Persona Records label. Only this time composed with more expressionist noise and urgency; spanning Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. ... more
