My name is Clark Hamilton and I have made music under the moniker klark sound and Stranger Sounding. I generally play all the instruments you hear in these recordings as well as record them myself. On the heels of his last record “What Is Music”, Clark Hamilton(klark sound) released a solo acoustic album entitled “This Is Music“. A stark and distilled collection of songs recorded in just 3 evening sessions immediately after the mixing of “What Is Music” was finished in 2024.
These acoustic songs are just Clark and his guitar; his words and melodic sentiments outlining powerful emotional experiences and reflections. With this record Clark answers his own question, and delivers succinct yet unfolding compositions that find new meaning with each listen.
He aIso plays in another band called Improvement Movement.
Klark charms us with his soothing vocal harmonies and then blasts us with kick-ass guitar solos on his latest record “What Is Music.” The album is an invitation into Klark’s deepest vulnerabilities as an artist, where finding his identity and voice is contrasted with a near death experience that left his guts literally spilled onto the ground over a decade ago. Struggling with how he is perceived by the world despite his other-worldly musical talent, Klark puts all of his moods and colors on display with heart wrenching songs about love, imposter syndrome, and the meaning of music itself. This record is unlike any other you will listen to this year. There are no production gimmicks, song features, or session players. This is Klark playing every instrument, each performance largely unprocessed and captured for the raw energy and spirit in which it was created.
Recorded in three days in March 2024. These are some solo songs of mine old and new.
released January 3rd, 2025
