About

Seafloor is a journal project of musician/producer Sylvia Chen. A continuous effort since 2000, the seafloor style has shifted between and materialized through ambient, drum and bass, down tempo, trip-hop, pop, and classical - with an expanse of influences from classical to dub to jazz to the Carpenters. Throughout all works remains an underlying signature - a feeling of melancholy, the voice used as a texture, simple manipulations and often a hint of the theatrical.

Sylvia is a member of CMYK, formerly known as The Long Ranger, a brother/sister electro-pop monster, and a recording member of Velella Velella, a party evoking dance band armed with vintage analog instruments. Both bands are based in Seattle, WA.

not too shabby, eh?
