Alaskan born 24-year-old Wyatt Pearson utilizes a wide range of field recordings incorporating Mother Earth, sculpting them and molding them in to heavily synthesized layered to create a deeply complex sound-scape. Electric Mantis intentionally produces music to “send that tingle down your spine.” Electric Mantis hit the scene with his viral electronic spacey future west-coast bass track “Flips and Flops, Drips and Drops” thanks to Reddit and a plug from Djemba Djemba. Today, the West Coast-based artist is taking the next step in his increasingly heat-seeking career with official remixes for Mija, Porter Robinson, Giraffage, and more. In this episode we had a chance to discuss his production process including his cafe-hopping experiences with his “micro-studio” and some of the actual moments defining his music production and creative spaces.
