IAMX is the solo musical project of Chris Corner, formerly of the band Sneaker Pimps. Founded in 2004 in London, it is an independent
musicproject which also focuses on and experiments with visual art. Musically, IAMX spans multiple genres from electronic rock and dance
music toburlesque influenced songs and emotional ballads. Corner's striking and wide ranging voice, and his way of programming sounds and
beats isan obvious characteristic of the IAMX sound.
From 2006 until 2014, IAMX was based in Berlin, Germany where Corner found "the spirit to care less about the music industry and take
anindependent route." Berlin is also mentioned in the lyrics which concern subjects such as sexual identity, death, love, narcotic
intoxication,decadence, critique of religion and politics, alienation, addiction, modern society and gender bending. The topic of gender bending
is furtheremphasised by Corner's own distinctive and androgynous image.
Live, IAMX are known for their highly energetic and theatrical performances. Unusual stage outfits and body painting are also core elementsof
IAMX shows. The stage design consists of art and props constructed by Corner and his live band members.
The visual art element of the project can be seen in the IAMX music videos and in the projections at their live shows. Both contain
sometimesstrong and controversial visual content, often directed, shot and edited by Corner himself. « hide |
