My Music Episode 661 - Sylvaner


Listen Later

This week on MyMusic, Graham Coath is joined by Las Vegas–born artist and producer Sylvaner for a conversation that moves as freely as his music.

What starts with a chat about German white wine quickly opens into something deeper — how music becomes a first language, a way of understanding the world, and a way of connecting with people long before words fully land.

Raised around record stores and vinyl, Sylvaner grew up surrounded by sound. From Miles Davis playing before he was even born, to early hip hop shaping how he listened, his relationship with music has always been immersive rather than passive.

That comes through in this conversation.

They explore:

  • The difference between hearing music and actually listening
  • Why mistakes and “human feel” still matter in a world leaning towards perfection
  • The tension between control and letting go in the creative process
  • And how modern audiences engage with music in fragments rather than full experiences

At the centre of it all is “Plastic Love” — a track that began as something atmospheric and introspective, before evolving into a darker, dance-driven piece built for movement as much as reflection.

But underneath the groove sits something more uncomfortable.

A conversation about desire without commitment.
Connection without depth.
And the quiet emptiness that can sit behind both.

Sylvaner talks openly about where that idea came from, how it shaped the sound, and why he wants people to feel his music first… and only fully understand it later.

This is not a conversation about chasing perfection.

It’s about process.
Instinct.
And building something that lives both on the dancefloor and long after the night ends.

Listen now and discover “Plastic Love” — the track that might hit you at 2 am… and make more sense the morning after.
