Artist description The focus of Welm is not to create music, but rather to create an environment through the use of sound instead of structure. In fact, the music presented here has little to do with "music" at all. Methods rely mainly on experimentalism and improvisation allowing for an unobstructed flow of creativity and a freedom from rigidity. Welm tends to avoid using obvious melody and allows the listener to discover the feeling, meaning, etc. of the song for himself/herself.

Music Style Experimental, IDM, non-idiomatic improvisation.

Musical Influences Morton Subotnick, Otto Luening, Vladimir Ussachevsky, Bill Laswell, Pete Namlook, Merzbow, Pole, Pan Sonic, Autechre, Scanner, as well as a lot of the clicks and cuts/glitch artists, Dadaism, some elements of Futurism...well you get the idea.
