Synopsis
This session documents Jay Sim recording live on set for AYMSK’s latest collection, The First Layer.
Rather than focusing on performance or release, the intention was to capture the recording process itself, the moments where experiences are spoken and committed to tape. The emphasis is on process over outcome, and on allowing space for stories to surface naturally.
The First Layer
The First Layer represents a foundation for what AYMSK is becoming.
The collection is more restrained in form, while still carrying the same fingerprint of process, imperfection, and failure that has always defined the brand. It marks a shift towards an everyday uniform.
This project exists to show that the ethos of AYMSK extends beyond clothing, into how we collaborate, how we document, and how we create space for other creative practices to exist alongside our own.
Why Jay Sim?
Jay Sim is a Bedford-based artist, producer, and sound engineer whose practice bridges creativity and craft. Jay’s journey has been rooted in hands-on exploration. Early on, he learned by doing, building loops, shaping beats, tracking vocals, and shaping sound long before any outside validation. Whether producing original tracks or reimagining existing material, his approach is grounded in curiosity and iteration.
What sets Jay apart is his adaptability. He moves fluidly between roles, from the desk to the performance space, with an ear for texture and nuance that dissolves genre boundaries. This fluidity shows up in his releases and collaborative work, where his fingerprints are as present in the engineering decisions as they are in the creative direction.
Affiliated with the brand from its early stages, Jay’s discipline and independence mirror the ethos we champion: build, refine, repeat. With new sounds on the horizon, we’re excited to continue capturing his evolving craft, both behind the boards and in front of the mic.
