Celldweller – the versatile outlet of the artist, performer, producer, songwriter, programmer, and remixer Klayton, began as a
producer pseudonym in theearly 90’s. Now, over a decade later, Klayton uses the name to deliver his vision of progressively
combining multiple genres of music. Taking a uniqueapproach to mixing styles, Celldweller fuses the electronics of drum & bass

Celldweller – the versatile outlet of the artist, performer, producer, songwriter, programmer, and remixer Klayton, began as a
producer pseudonym in theearly 90’s. Now, over a decade later, Klayton uses the name to deliver his vision of progressively
combining multiple genres of music. Taking a uniqueapproach to mixing styles, Celldweller fuses the electronics of drum & bass
and techno, with rock and orchestral elements, meshing the synthetic and theorganic, darkness with beauty, into a cohesive
blend entirely its own.In 2003, Klayton independently released the self-titled debut Celldweller album, and reached #17 on the
Billboard Internet Sales Chart. The album alsogarnered Top 40 Metal Radio charting, and the track “I Believe You” reached
#11 on the R&R Alternative Specialty Show Chart. The debut album received7 awards at the 2004 Just Plain Folks Music
Awards, including: Producer of the Year and Album of the Year. Guest appearances included Jarrod Montagueof Taproot and
mixes by Ben Grosse and Grant Mohrman.
Klayton has also captured the interest of the Film/TV industry having licensed every track from the Debut Celldweller album.
Credits include: “Doom,” “Mr.and Mrs. Smith,” “Supercross,” “XXX: State of the Union,” “Spider-man 2,” “Constantine,”
“Catwoman,” “The Punisher,” “Paycheck,” “Timeline,”“Mindhunters,” “National Security,” “Bad Boys 2,” “Need For Speed: Most
Wanted” (Video Game), “Project Gotham Racing 3” (Video Game), “Enter theMatrix” (Video Game) and “XGRA” (Video Game).
In addition to the debut release, Celldweller has released a 2-disc fan set entitled The Beta Cessions, featuring instrumental
versions of the debut album,original demos, remixes, and alternative album mixes. Celldweller has also released a “Switchback”
Music Video DVD, produced, directed, and edited byKlayton.
Now, in Fall 2005, Klayton is busy preparing the next Celldweller release. He promises the currently untitled album will be
another effort towards breakingstereotypical genre boundaries. With apparent enthusiasm, Klayton recently stated, “I’m
looking forward to further abusing organic elements to makethem sound more synthetic and appease my innate desire to
manipulate sound, with the technology that I love and embrace.” With new tracks “The WayShe Wants To Die,”
“Shapeshifter,” and “Gift For You,” already finished, Klayton will continue to redefine the Celldweller vision, while maintaining
hissignature sound. An early 2006 release is anticipated.The Celldweller live show is a fusion of performance art, rave culture,
and the raw energy of a rock show, entirely synchronized to projected video. Broughtto life by members Klayton (Vocals,
Guitars, Keyboards, Percussion, Eyris, Programming), Dale Van Norman (Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Keyboards,Percussion,
Backing Vocals), Kem (Bass, Guitars, Keyboards, Percussion, Backing Vocals) and Cais (Acoustic & Electronic Drums and
Percussion) the showis driven by multi-instrumental performances, including mass percussion ensembles, reminiscent of Blue
Man Group or Stomp, with the incorporation oftrance/electronic elements. « hide |
