After a brief creative hiatus, Vancouver-based jazz-fusion pioneer Haywyre is back and stronger than ever. A leading figure in the modern electro-groove atmosphere, Martin Vogt aka Haywyre has solidified his place as a performer to keep tabs on. Inspired by the familiar sounds of Herbie Hancock, Flying Lotus, and KOAN Sound, Haywyre simultaneously draws influence from lesser known prodigies such as 19th century Russian composer and pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff. Vogt’s eclectic vision and fluid dexterity as a pianist parallels effortlessly with his wicked take on contemporary dance music. His innovative approach to electronic music has propelled him to the top of the game, and his consistency has kept him there for over half a decade.
Haywyre’s November 16th release ‘Tell Me’ was his first in two years, during which he focused on honing his already impressive skill set and developing his overall sound. His subsequent release ‘Storyteller’ was a cosmic fusion of resonance which effortlessly blends the sounds of disco with the future, priming listeners for the journey of soundscapes that come to fruition with his new Panorama: Discover EP. With classic Haywyre elements such as his talk-box vocals and groovy melodies, the entire project brings glitch hop nostalgia while shedding light onto the talented musician’s future musical endeavors. It’s great to have Haywyre back in full form again.
