Symbol

Symbol is the solo effort of producer and multi-instrumentalist Christopher Royal King, best known as the founding member of the Texas-based orchestral rock ensemble This Will Destroy You. Moonlighting as a composer/scorer for a host of prominent feature films and documentaries, King’s masterful ear for signal processing and affinity for corroded elegance takes free reign over a vastly expanded inventory of instrumentation. Symbol’s organic sound-sources are meticulously transmuted through chains of modules and magnetic tape, each successive stage creating a compounded quantity of detail and decay that establishes the complex relationship between King and technology while spanning across the aural uncanny valley. His album Lifted was released by Mystery Circles Sept 15th, 2020 on all digital platforms and an edition of 50 cassettes.
