소리 Soli
cranes on Sentiment, Urgency, and the Sound of Moving Forward
With production credits across some of the most exciting new underground acts—Fakemink, XavierSobased, Fimiguerrero, Nettspend—cranes is quietly shaping the emotional and sonic landscape of 2025 hip-hop. His solo instrumental project Learning to Leave shows his versatility, but it’s the feeling behind his beats that keeps pulling listeners in. I only got to ask him one question, but it was the one I cared about most.
Whether it’s a solo project like Learning to Leave or production work for xaviersobased for example, what kind of emotion or energy do you hope people take away from your sound?
to me everything is kind of about moving. like having to leave something behind to move forward. having a damaging level of sentimentality and a limited amount of time. all my art is a collage. but i dont think this makes sense to other people. i hope they feel a similar pull to do something important with their time.
