Welcome
Ivan Clayden is a Composer and Performer based in Ōtautahi/Christchurch, NZ. His artistic journey is guided by a deep appreciation for environmental sounds and sonic exploration, as he strives to craft immersive compositions that reflect the beauty and diversity of the world around us.
With a keen focus on environmental sound composition and sonic arts, Ivan's work draws upon a rich tapestry of field recordings captured from remote locations across New Zealand and beyond. From the tranquil melodies of native birdsong to the rhythmic textures of wind and water, each recording serves as a source of inspiration and connection to the natural world.
