1TRIBE↟: Where Ancient Rhythms Meet Modern Soundscapes
1TRIBE↟ is the latest musical endeavor from Charlie Brown, the creative force also known as Optimus Gryme. This project represents a deeply personal exploration for Charlie, born from a lifelong fascination with tribal music. Drawing not only from his own Maori heritage, but also from the rich tapestry of global ethnic sounds, 1TRIBE↟ is an ambitious fusion of ancestral rhythms and contemporary electronic production.
For years, the intricate and often unconventional rhythms of tribal music have resonated within Charlie’s mind, existing outside the conventional boundaries of electronic soundscapes. With 1TRIBE↟, he embarks on a journey to bridge these two seemingly disparate worlds. He’s taking on the challenge to combine the raw, earthy power of traditional rhythms with the precision and innovation of modern electronic music.
This is not just a simple merging of genres; it’s a carefully crafted synthesis where the past and future converge. It’s about creating music where the ancient and the modern not only coexist, but feel intrinsically connected, as if they were always meant to be together.
After 25 years dedicated to honing his craft as a producer, Charlie is tackling this challenge head-on with the experience and skill necessary to execute his vision. 1TRIBE↟ promises a sonic experience that is both deeply rooted and radically forward-thinking, inviting listeners to explore the rhythmic heart of humanity through the lens of cutting-edge electronic music. Prepare to be transported to a place where the echoes of the past meet the pulses of the future, in a soundscape that is as primal as it is progressive.
