mwic is a lyricist, coder, and experimental music maker on ccMixter. A member since November 2009, mwic helps maintain the platform's code and servers while also contributing a distinctive catalog of experimental remixes and collage-based compositions.
Background
In mwic's own words: "I'm mwic and I help out with the code and servers and stuff. I also do a fair amount of sonic doodling, and the occasional actual complete song. My focus is really on lyric writing."
A dedicated Linux user (working with Audacity and Ardour), mwic counts among favorite songwriters: Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Warren Zevon, TMBG, Sinead O'Connor, Woody Guthrie, Cole Porter, and Bjork — an eclectic list that mirrors the range of the music itself.
Musical Style
mwic's output defies easy categorization. Common threads include:
- Experimental collage — layered, sample-based compositions
- Art rap — spoken word and lyric-driven tracks with inventive wordplay
- Trip-hop and electronic — synthesizer-based, acid, ambient, and house influences
- Jazz-influenced — piano, improvisation, polyrhythmic structures
