Claux is a Melbourne-based bedroom producer whose work drifts between trip-hop, indie, and alternative textures — where analogue warmth meets digital unease. Influenced by artists like Thom Yorke and Gotye, Claux’s music draws from 90s trip-hop and experimental pop to explore the edges of memory, philosophy, and mental health.

For the last 20 years, Claux has existed on the other side of the lens — as a photographer and music video creator immersed in Australia’s independent music scene. The transition from documenting sound to building it was gradual, private, and necessary. What began as a personal form of therapy for autism and ADHD evolved into a body of songs written and refined in solitude — five years of experimenting with rhythm, texture, and tone as a way to regulate, reflect, and reconnect with the world.

The upcoming debut EP is both an introduction and a release — a cinematic, self-contained universe that blurs the boundaries between vulnerability and control. Each track feels like a fragment of a diary written in sound: melancholic yet grounded, nostalgic yet forward-moving.

Claux approaches music not as performance but as immersion. The project resists clear definition, preferring to exist in the space between — between genres, between image and sound, between self and anonymity. With more material and visual work already in development, Claux emerges as both artist and observer: creating music that doesn’t ask to be understood, only felt.
