Multi-instrumantilst and producer, Aaron C Schroeder, has released albums under various artist names over the last 2+ decades, but now finds himself taking on full ownership as he stretches his musical output into more exploratory and experimental forms.
​
As a producer, a quick glance at his client list will find Seattle notables Wimps (Kill Rock Stars), Rose Windows (Sub Pop), Childbirth (Suicide Squeeze), Kinski (SubPop / Kill Rock Stars) Los Angeles' Hallows (Cold Transmission) as well as artists from Michigan, NYC, Austin, Eugene and Ashland, from Berlin to Melbourne.
As an artist, Schroeder like to take twists and turns in his songwriting style, constructing considered field recordings, extensive tape loop experiments, and utilizing the studio as the instrument to create unique releases beyond genre. With multiple pieces being used in indie films and commercials, Schroeder finds himself continuing to push his aural envelope to not only excite on record but also on the screen.
