A chat with Carrier - Patterns of Perception
Carrier spent some words with Patterns of perception about his recently assumed new name and the newly influences flowing into his artistic persona.
For me, it represents a fresh start personally, creatively, aesthetically. For a while with Shifted I felt like I was repeating myself and just doing what was necessary to maintain the status quo.
A chat with Carrier - Patterns of Perception
What is the concept behind Carrier and what does it represent to you?
Well, Carrier is a little different as most of the others you mentioned were certainly side projects that branched off from Shifted. Carrier is not a side project: it’s my main focus moving forward and is completely disconnected from everything that’s come before. Although of course because it’s me there are certain threads that bind it to my earlier work in terms of production.
Carrier allows you to explore some creative freedoms that you couldn’t as Shifted?
I think that my previous alias simply felt weighed down by all the residual bullshit that it had picked up over the years. The records I felt weren’t good enough but put out anyway, that shit remix I did because I needed the cash, the shows I should have refused. They all contribute to a feeling around the project. I could have done this as Shifted I guess, but all this baggage would still be dragging along behind me, and honestly it would be nigh on impossible to change people’s perception of what I’m about.
