Having studied classical piano and composition since a staggeringly young age, Karter quickly began showing an interest in contemporary experimental music. His competence around technology and musical equipment in particular drew him to work as a DJ and Producer, yet his interest in the avante-garde has also seen Karter explore less frequently chartered territories. He has worked as a sound designer and sound engineer, working closely with a range of music technology companies. This has in turn fed back into his own music, influencing new ways of approaching composition.
Through his music Karter endeavours to create sonic experiments based on his interests in mathematics, numerology and cryptography, translating numerical sequences in sounds, frequencies and harmonic structures. Inspired by cryptographic codes, he manages to interpret these complex sequences in harmony and rhythm. His fascination with this idea began after studying the mathematician Marcus du Sautoy, according to whom everything can be explained through numbers.
In this way Karter’s music sees harmonies, numbers and mathematical code melt together to create new languages, drawing equally on his experience of the world, and the people around him. This is Karter’s unique way of viewing reality, revealing the unseen and the unsaid; a world where art meets science, where chaos is arranged by the clinical order of numbers; a line which links the logical with the emotional, the confusion of noise with the depth of silence
