About:
Clay House makes software, records and games. Everything it puts out is made in house — which is where the name comes from.
Three kinds of work and the same hands on all of them. A game, a record and a piece of software look like different trades, and they are not: each one is a thing you make, finish, and put out under your own name.
Apps and useful things. Tools that do one job properly and run on the machine in front of you rather than somebody else’s. Dubplate Studio is the current one — it reads years of scattered projects and bounces, pairs each to the session that made it, and plays an album end to end, with zero network calls by design.
A label. Garden Atlas is the first artist on it. The work is getting a record made properly and then keeping it — artwork, a release that is planned rather than posted, a page that still exists in five years. Nothing is taken down because it did not perform.
Mobile games to Steam games. Cut-It-Close is the first one out: an object drops in, you swipe a freehand line to slice it, and you are scored on how close the split came to an exact fraction. Real polygon area, so a pixel of slip costs you.
Who
Clay House makes software, records and games, and every part of them is made in house: the code, the music, the art. That’s where the name comes from.
It was started by Carter Young, a musician and developer based in Los Angeles, California.
Few things, made with care, and never abandoned.
