ABOUT

Liam Back is an audio/visual artist & late-night poet. Currently working as a music producer/sound designer for brand campaigns. Apart from his commercial output, he also protects his own creative endeavor, engaged in personal and experimental projects such as illustrating/painting. Co-creating abstract imagery combined with ambient soundscapes that exist in relation to each other. Hence, audio/visual art.

With an education in both film & graphic design, it was only a matter of time for him to unite his compassion for creating music with his competence and vision for moving imagery. His calling for sculpting sound & scoring to moving images came after a decade of filming and editing music videos for artists & the ad industry. His expertise and sensitivity in successfully finalizing fashion projects and a background in dance helped strengthen his perception and empathetic sense for human movement, on a visual and acoustic level.

ORIGIN

Liam devoted himself to music ever since he could record his favorite songs to cassette tape. 20 years later, he has produced over 2000 tracks, being self-employed based on his passion. He also keeps the proximity to his British roots self-evident. Which is not surprising that many albums were released in the UK. His personal assortment of successful Single & Album releases in the past with labels and sync agencies has certainly kept him busy.

A further form of expression is through his act of words. Believing in automatic writing and having the courage to turn a blank sheet of paper into a piece of meaning and personal truth, has always helped him reveal his current cognitive state of mind. This poetic mind-set has also helped him shift some of his instrumental work into lyrical pieces, encouraging him to collaborate with like-minded artists such as singer songwriters and producers.
