Autrioly grew up in Sri Lanka learning instruments from his dad, moved to Canada, spent years making hyperpop that never felt quite right, and eventually found his way to something that does — moody, vinyl-inspired samples that pull from East Asian and Western music in equal measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part of what makes his sound hard to place is intentional. He often tunes to 432Hz or 452Hz instead of the standard 440. It’s a small shift that changes the emotional texture of everything he makes. Producers who’ve used his samples notice it immediately, even if they can’t name it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Instagram following came after that. So did the Shiloh Dynasty comparisons, which he takes as a compliment while being clear that the work is entirely his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We talked with Autrioly about where his sound comes from, how he thinks about sample-making versus songwriting, and what he’d tell other creators trying to build something with a real identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nAutrioly:<\/strong> <\/em>Sure. I’m a songwriter, producer, and guitarist. I create moody, emotional music, as well as vinyl-inspired samples. I love building sounds that inspire creators, and I\u2019m working towards creating the next big hit.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
