Seltr

Seltr is the nom de plume of composer, songwriter, and guitarist Julian Ha, who creates experimental rock compositions that range from ethereal to distorted. His music is framed by a search for creation and self-expression, through the lens of his guitar-led rock soundscapes that are at times, darkly expressive, and other times, driving and energetic. Growing up in New York City, Ha discovered his passion for music early in childhood, starting as a classical pianist before picking up the electric guitar in middle school. His art soon became a haven for him, one that was filled with everything from hazy, distorted noise to progressive and lilting atmospheres. Seltr's work spans from sonic post-rock experiments to more song-driven compositions. Ha writes with intention, and his art is driven by an outpouring of thoughts, ideas, emotions, and experiences. The work of Seltr is enveloping yet distant, pensive yet present, questioning what it means to be someone who is all too aware of themself and their imagination.
