ABOUT CLATTERMOUUUTH Clattermouuuth is a platform that emphasizes the art of creating art: the creative process, inspiration and dedication of an artist. I created Clattermouuuth in a time of personal creative drought. I really wasn't doing anything creative at the time and I felt kinda lost. I decided to try something new and start interviewing artists and talking about music on instagram. At the time it felt kinda scary to start Clattermouuuth; like I was at risk of failing. Now I know feel like creating something with passion and intent is anything but failing. - Andrew Kohler

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Patrick Hyacinth January 24th 2025 Describe the sound of your music for unfamiliar listeners Soundscape of the music I’m making is ever changing, depending on my current interest. For what’s out, it’s mostly electronic music with guitar over pretty chords, but I want to explore every avenue in some way. Describe your creative process. I make all kinds of instrumentals every day, then write to them, most of the time nothing really happens, but sometimes it just clicks and the song writes its self. Then it gets more chaotic as I try to define the initial idea and build around the vocals, sometimes I might not know what to do with a certain part of the song for two weeks, then it clicks and I get done with it in 30 minutes. It’s most definitely not a linear process. How’d you first get into making music? I used to make YouTube videos when I was like twelve, I used adobe audition to record audio for them, me and my friend, we discovered the built-in autotune and started to mess with it, somehow that turned into making some silly songs, later I started making beats because I couldn’t find the ones for me, but also because buying them was too expensive for a fifteen year old. Where do you find the inspiration to create music? Images. Either it’s something that I’ve shot or something I found or saved, more often than not it’s more than one photo, then I try to score it. What song / project would you suggest for unfamiliar listeners For now there’s only two songs, so I’d say to check them both out. What’s next for Patrick Hyacinth? What are some goals for 2025? More music, some beautiful visuals, and I really want to produce for other artists. What music have you been listening to recently? I recently discovered the band Prefab Sprout, I think the song “Bonny” is one of the most beautiful songs ever created. But I’ve been listening to Nala Sinephro, Toro Y Moi, Fleetwood Mac, Mount Kimbie and the first Mac Demarco album.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Harrison Beckwith February 7th 2025 Describe the sound of your music for unfamiliar listeners My music is more of a timeline of my production so far. Like, it starts with vibey guitar instrumentals and now it has grown into this "rock rap" with some synth-pop too. Overall, I think my music is really defined by the synth I use in every song. How and when did you get into music?How has your music evolved from the satire music you were originally making to what it is today? When I first started making music, I did not see it as a future at all. I kinda just fooled around on some tracks with friends, and then I just resorted to guitar instrumentals. But, as of last year, I kinda had this turning point where I wanted to make music inspired by what I listened to. This new EP still has satire elements, but it also is a result of pure passion. Tell me a little about your new EP, why have you called it “a second thanksgiving, a story of sadness and isolation” The new EP "Green" has a storyline going on. I think one of my favorite ways to write lyrics is through made-up characters. So, this new record follows this one individual and his journey to find community when he's already at the top. Of course, this can all be interpreted differently by the listener, but each song on the record adds a new dimension to the story. Describe your creative process My creative process is very spontaneous. First off, I'm always writing lyrics even if I'm not planning on making a song. I always want to see which bar is catchy and that I could potentially use it. Then, I go on Logic and start messing around with sounds, while laying down a random chord progression. I work backwards: starting with the climax of the song and then developing the rest after. Then, I give the beat a few days and come back to it, because artists sometimes forget to realize how many NEW ideas you can get from taking a break. Where do you find inspiration? Dude, there are so many artists I take inspiration from. From back then, I am heavily inspired by Stevie Wonder, Elton John, the Roots, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Hall & Oates, Nas, and Radiohead. When we are talking current artists, I am inspired by Blood Orange, Travis Scott, JPEGMAFIA, N.E.R.D., Chance the Rapper, Pharrell Williams, Tyler the Creator, Daft Punk, Doechii, and Steve Lacy. What’s next for Harrison Beckwith? Any goals for 2025? Up next, I am working on a project with Leo Soloway. The record we produce won't be released on our own individual accounts; it's gonna be released on a separate collab profile. Besides that, I am looking at releasing some singles in the following months and I am interested in producing music for other artists. My goal for 2025 is to expand my reach with listeners; I want to increase my metrics. What music have you been listening to lately? Recently, my dad me got hooked on Black Star, the collab duo of Mos Def and Talib Kweli. Their 1998 album is gas. Also, I have started to listen to WILLOW, and she really has some incredible stuff out there. I saw her open for Childish Gambino last year, but I didn't really know her music at the time. And lastly, I discovered this rapper, named D2x, who is definitely going somewhere. His overall production and flow is just phenomenal.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT novemberfalls August 24th 2025 Describe your music for unfamiliar listeners My shit is like catchy atmospheric ambient melodies with hard 808s. I try to incorporate fast and melodic flows n my shi so my shi can’t really get boring, you know? Describe your creative process I usually test melodies first and then just come up with a catchy one-liner or good opening bar, den just go on after. Den I turn off the lights n shi and put on like an old cartoon or show like South Park or Friends, den I load up FL and just record what I write or freestyle. Your latest single, “Choose” has such a cool sound. What went into making it? Do you have a favorite song on it? Choose was just a remix of Guillotine by Pierre Bourne. I always fucked with the melody and his beats, so it was really easy to hop on. How’d you first get into making music? I first started makin music 2020 with my patna @iluvno.9 when I was like 14. I always wanted to do something musically and I always was a nerd about it growing up, and eventually I was like “ima just make my own shi,” and then that was that fr. Where do you find the inspiration to create music? I find inspiration from a lot of old music. I listen to hella artists and bands like Deftones, Nirvana, Audioslave, Jane’s Addiction, PATD!, Soundgarden, and artists like Quannic, Tame Impala, Natasha Ramos, Aaliyah, and Frank Ocean. I was heavy into underground growing up, so rappers like Carti, Dsav, Thouxanban, BoofPaxkmooky, and X really shaped my sound, along with other mainstream rappers I grew up listening to like Thug, Future, Wayne, Petey Pablo, Cam’ron, Eminem, Tyler and Earl, and J. Cole. What have you been working on lately? Any new music soon? I got my EP TeMani coming out this weekend. And I been workin my tape Audioslave coming out hella soon, maybe September, we’ll see lol. Other than music, what else have you been up to? I been gettin into more modeling ventures n stuff. I went to school for it, and it’s been something I’ve always been into, so rn I’m just tryna make more connections and relationships in that field fr. What music have you been listening to lately? I been listening to hella Tezzus, Chief Keef, Che, Ken, Pierre, Lone, Dior, Rolexmell, and iLuvNo.9.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT NATHIAS November 22th 2024 Describe your music for unfamiliar listeners. I’d say it sounds like amateur singer-songwriter stuff, maybe a little folky at times, but ultimately pretty stripped back most of the time How and when did you get into music? I’ve always loved singing since I was a little kid, I’d run around in the backyard and make songs up, and I wanted to be like Michael Jackson. I started playing guitar a couple years ago because of my brother. He had taught himself how to play and I enjoyed listening to him playing around the house, so I bought a cheap guitar and gave it a try and I loved it. Honestly that’s when I really started to delve deeper into music and I started doing nothing but listening and learning about genres and artists and albums and recording, it’s become quite the obsession. Creative Process? My creative process is about searching and searching until something sparks motivation and being able to get the idea recorded, very poorly probably, just so I can listen and be able to drill it into my brain because otherwise i’ll forget. I pretty much exclusively write on guitar so once it becomes something repeatable and I can play it well then I just build upon it, and by that I just mean stretching the idea out into a full song in terms of length and structure. That’s when I start double tracking, adding more instruments, and I usually save the vocals and lyrics for last.My creative process is spontaneous. I can’t write or record songs unless i’m in the mood too, but a lot of my songs have been written in less than hour. Where do you find inspiration? It seems to always come from artists that I love, particularly what they are really good at that I wish I was good at. For example right now I’m really into elliott smith so I’ve become increasingly interested in chord progressions, and double tracking and all things elliott smith adjacent. Before it might’ve been Adrianne Lenker with her fingerpicking, or Nick Drake and his crazy tunings, or Linda Perhacs and the atmosphere of her songs, just anything my brain latches onto and won’t let me stop thinking about. That being said, eventually I hope to find more inspiration in things outside of other people because I don’t want to become derivative but I’m still figuring myself out as an artist so I’ll cut myself some slack for now. What song/project should unfamiliar listeners begin with? I think the best place to start would be Rain… or Cool As, I think those songs are my favourites. Although I am very proud of Haunts You. I think the first two I mentioned are more in line with the direction I’m going, for now at least. I’ll definitely want to comeback to the more psych, eery feelings of haunts you in the future though. Any new projects soon? Anything you'd like to promote I’m working on another EP at the moment, i’ve got a couple songs pretty much done now but still hacking away at a few more. I just appreciate anyone who lends an ear to what I do, and hopefully people are seeing potential in me cause I’m optimistic about my music, maybe naively so but optimistic nonetheless. What music have you been listening to recently? I’ve been really loving the new Laura Marling record, I think it’s beautiful, and of course the Magdalena Bay album is insane, lots of Figure 8 by Elliott Smith and one last artist I’ve come to really love in the past month or so is this guy .Michael. he makes such great great songs he’s got an album called The Puddle that came out this year and it’s fantastic.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Isaiah Keaton August 23rd 2025 An in-person interview with Isaiah Keaton!

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Mark Saunders May 16th 2025 Describe your music for unfamiliar listeners The sound & texture of my music is EVERYDAY LIFE HUSTLER music. If you're someone applying themselves everyday to get more outta life, while making themselves uncomfortable in order to grow my music will resonate. The messaging is relatable to those pushing through the turmoil. Describe your creative process in the respective aspects of creativity. Whenever my name is attached to something its always highly intentional. I work on many projects at once and slowly nab away at them based on what's inspiring me most at that specific time. I try to cram in as many meanings & entendres into these spaces for sharp artistic execution. I want surface consumers to enjoy my lines yet I also want connoisseurs to have a moment to tap in with a artist they can tell cares about this shit just as much as them..... if not more then them...because of the layering that goes into my work Your album, “demoGRAPHIC II” is truly so impressive. How was that album created? What is your personal favorite track on that album? demoGRAPHIC II was initially a project I was going to release in 2019 then I scrapped the idea because I HATE SEQUELS I personally think they're corny & low hanging fruit for artist. I prefer artist to make new experiences opposed to forcefully creating a lightning in the bottle moment. Fast forward to 2021 I began working on a project and by mid 2024 I found myself in the exact circumstances + mindset that I was in when when I released the first 'demoGRAPHIC' back in 2018. It felt genuinely to my storyline as a artist to come out with 'dG2' A personal favorite, for me is “Silence of The Lambs”. Tell me the story behind that song. I've been rapping for 15 years, they say you aren't a master of your craft until you’ve put in 10,000 hours. Well, I've exceeded over 30k. Within my 15 years I'd say I'm on my 3rd life as a rapper. And I've experienced first hand people loving every little thing about you then later hating you for it. Silence of the lambs took me two full years to write and as I went through defeat that song became my direct journal. How’d you first get into making music? outta pure curiosity. I remember being a freshman in highschool listening to Lil Wayne 'the drought 3' on the bus on my way to school and instead of getting off at my stop I cut school writing raps over Wayne's vocals hahaa. Good times! Where do you find the inspiration to create music? First its my natural love for hip hop and mastering the technical mechanics to become one of the greatest emcee's ever. Secondly I've watched my entire family struggle. I view my talent as a vital tool to change the course of my bloodline. It sounds like alot to burden but as long as I sacrifice it'll be worth it. The work + work ethic will speak for itself Any new music soon? Anything you’d like to promote? Yeah, sure. This is the first time I'd be publicly announcing this. Im happy to be doing it on your platform. I grew up as a real student of rap music and being from New York I looked at PRO ERA as people similar in age who were dominating. In mid-June I'll be releasing 'DON'T TRIP' featuring Nyck Caution. There's a music video in the works as well. This has been a long time coming! Where do you find the inspiration to create music?

Westside Gunn, Ray Vaughn's New Album, Carti, Mixtape Lil' Wayne & alotta classic soulful R&B. There isn't much music in rap that's moved me. Other than music, what else have you been up to? I've been trying to get back on my feet financially. I fell on hard times in October '2024, I was fired from my job and in May 2025 I finally got a employment offer (part-time). Other than that my doctor gave me the unfortnate news, im prediabetic. As I was unemployed I was severely depressed eating comfort foods to feel better so the news makes sense. Since then I'm prioritizing my mental & physical health by working out & completely changing my diet.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Leaf and Machine December 27th 2024 Describe the sound of your music for unfamiliar listeners We mash electronic psych sounds into mellow folk songs. All run through warbly tape decks, written to themes of loss and longing. End result is something like if Boards of Canada produced Nick Drake. How and when did you get into music? I picked up guitar in 8th grade and started making sound collage tracks and beats at around 16. Making new things and collaborating drew me in. I’d build prog-rock songs one layer at time with my friend Kyle. Put vocals on flying lotus style tracks that my brother, Jesse, was making. Leaf and Machine is three of us working together, threading a line between all those early experiments. Describe your creative process. Starts with me writing something on guitar, and singing ad-libs over that to figure out what the song’s about. Then Kyle brings in more layers of instruments, guitar leads, drums, whatever. Jesse plays producer and tears it open with production effects, synth lines, some other stray parts. That’s where things get really spacey usually. Where do you find inspiration? Just sitting around playing guitar usually. I find a little riff or chord progression that catches my imagination, like transports me somewhere in my head. And then it’s just exploring what that sound wants to grow into. Usually when it’s working the song leads you where it needs to go. What song/project should unfamiliar listeners start with? Cyberfriends. It has a little bit of everything we do in it. Any new projects soon? Anything you want to promote? We’ve been working on an EP of super lo-fi, slowcore tracks. Jesse fixed up an old tascam 388 8-track tape recorder he found at a thrift store. We’ve been coming up with these stream-of-consciousness, fuzzed-out tracks straight to tape. We have a release of our favorites from those sessions coming out in a month or two. What music have you been listening to lately? Stephen Steinbrink, he writes some of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Kind of music that makes life feel really small and giant at the same time. Listening to a lot of Jerry Paper too, he’s super inventive with how he approaches songwriting and production and has this lovely whacked-out bossa nova sound.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT YRS ANT November 15th 2024 Describe the sound of your music and why people should listen. i’d describe my sound as a mix between bedroom pop and indie. people should listen because the songs i make are relatable (except for B.B.E.B) How and when did you get into music? i’ve been interested in music since middle school. My friends and i used to freestyle during lunch and i became a soundcloud rapper almost immediately lol. However, i got into indie and bedroom pop during my senior year of highschool. Creative Process? My creative process is spontaneous. I can’t write or record songs unless i’m in the mood too, but a lot of my songs have been written in less than hour. Where do you find inspiration? My life is my inspiration. I didnt have the best life growing up but it was manageable. from time to time i find myself thinking about the mistakes i made in life or how hard i’d try to love someone. that gives me just enough fuel for the songs i make. What song/project should unfamiliar listeners begin with? For new listeners I would recommend “Time” or “From The Start”. Both are good songs and gives perfect amount of sad vibes. Any new projects soon? Anything you'd like to promote I recently released a single called “love me?” but i have a song called “search” coming later this week. What music have you been listening to recently? Recently i’ve been listening to a lot of Summer Salt and Mustard Service. I literally can’t stop listening to these 2 bands. I’ve also been listening to some smaller artists like Chek and Jardin.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Malik English May 9th 2025 Describe your music for unfamiliar listeners My music is like a collection of colors. I take a lot of inspiration from different genres whether R&B, Afrobeats, Rap, Dancehall or Rock I grew up on a lot of different sounds. My music pulls from my own experiences and stories I hear from my friends or just people in the ether. I try to recreate those experiences, feelings and emotions in my music to share and connect more people. Describe your creative process It varies, I usually get ideas from hearing songs, or a melody will just come to me once I lock in. I'll add ideas on top that and delete them just as quickly. It's just a whirlwind of ideas until we get to the final product. Your debut album, “Love, M.E” never has a dull moment. How was that album created? What is your personal favorite track on that album? Thank you! Love, M.E was processsssss. It was fun to make though, with that project I wanted to show all the different types of love we encounter rather platonic, heartbreak, fast love etc. It was really fun to dive into all those different mindsets. My favorite song is probably Closer. It's a really fun RNB record that I think slides between RNB, Rap & Pop. I really like it How’d you first get into making music? I was skipping school and would tell my mom I had band practice and eventually she was so like "I've never seen you play" so I had to learn an instrument really quickly to keep it going. But ended up actually really liking making music and went on to study music in university Where do you find the inspiration to create music? Life, whether my own or the people around me, even stuff I see on TV. I can see certain relationships or scenarios play out and see in an interesting story in that. Any new music soon? Anything you'd like to promote. Just released the video for my latest single Tek Time and anniversary version of Closer is coming up too! also working on some new music I'm planning to release super soon! What music have you been listening to lately? Been listening to a lot of older stuff recently Bobby Womack, Outkast, and listening to a lot of soundtracks. I stay up to date with everything that comes out too really been liking Pinkpantheress and Rema's last drops.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Mawysashe January 17th 2025 Describe the sound of your music for unfamiliar listeners Sometimes I rap over soul samples with no drums, sometimes I sing over pop instrumentals. You never know what you’re going to get but it’ll always be good. That’s the only thing that must remain constant. Earlier in your music career, you were rapping quite a lot, why do you think you transitioned to singing more recently? When I first started making music , I could not sing at all, it was horrible,like imagine the worst sound you ever heard….that was me! But I had good ideas so I kept practicing and stuff and now I’m lowkey like Beyoncé …. New Blue is my favorite song personally, how was that song created? Whew that song was quite a process. I recorded the melody 3 months before I started writing it and then it took me 2 more months to write it because the words just weren’t hitting right. I knew I wanted to make a song that was poetic with a lot of moments that hit hard and when you set a standard like that, word choice becomes very important. I don’t know if it’s a sad or happy song though, that’s up to whoever’s listening , I just wanted it to elicit some type of emotion. I love that song, I listen to it and be like damn I really made this. And then I reply to myself and say “yes, yes you did. “ How’d you first get into making music? One of my best friends in 8th grade made music and I was inspired by him. I’ve been recording ever since then. What song/project should unfamiliar listeners start with? Cyberfriends. It has a little bit of everything we do in it. Describe your creative process. It’s all over the place!! There’s no real methods besides focusing. When I’m making music that’s all I care about in that moment. I try my best to not settle for mediocre takes or lyrics , so sometimes it can be a lot when it’s 1am and you’re doing a take 20+ times, but I love the process. One thing about me though is that I need light. I don’t make music in dark settings, I need it to be a bright room, I’m really picky about that. What’s next for MawySashe? What are some goals for 2025? I’m going to drop a lot more music this year and take this whole thing to the next level. I’m looking forward to putting myself out there more and really promoting my stuff. What music have you been listening to recently? Hmmm….Bad Bunny’s new album, Stevie Wonder, Kendrick, Lauryn hill, and MawySashe
