Hello! We’re a band called Arbor Lights, though you probably already know that since you found our little corner on the web.

We’re an instrumental band from Birmingham, in the UK. It’s not quite the glacial beauty of Iceland, but it’s alright.

Usually being an instrumental band means two things: either we can’t sing, or we won’t, and we are definitely the former. Sometimes we play pretty loud, and sometimes we play pretty soft. We’re named after the bar where we first met, and hopefully they won’t sue us for royalties.

Most of all, we hope you like our music.


UPDATE: Hello, friends! The SMILETRON journey is now complete. Its final form can be downloaded in its entirety here: http://bit.ly/12jWN0q

The ARCHIVES include 25 records, a collection of live sets, and a basic collection of symbols that drove the journey. Best of all, it's all free!

I will continue to write music in the future as Tri Angles. You can find me here for now: http://soundcloud.com/itsmisterangles

SMILETRON is a wandering musician from afar, following in the footsteps of storytellers of old;

chronicling the wonders of this
infinitely beautiful, linear illusion.

in humble service,
and with much love.

Instinctive, Proficient, Creative… in three words, you can summarize the immense work of Los Angeles-based Producer/Actor, Cryptex. 

Born Tyler Chase in Boston, MA, raised the smoky mountains of North Carolina, crafted in the halls of London, and cultured by the streets of Los Angeles - Cryptex has had an artistic edge since his youth. Growing up in public schooling, and eventually deciding to home school and graduate early to jump-start his acting path, Tyler’s childhood was blessed with myriad musical and creative influences. The son of two radio professionals, they would listen to everything from Sting, Nora Jones, Michael Jackson, to more recent acts like Missy Elliot, even a broken Nelly CD that he and his mother found in a parking lot. 

With a passion for the acting, Tyler didn’t start out as most of his fellow producer peers. His first acting role was at the age of 11. Tyler went on to be featured in dozens of film and television appearances —  most notably a recurring role on AMC’s, “The Walking Dead” and guest star role on FOX’s, “Sleepy Hollow”. It wasn’t until 2008 when he heard edIT’s track “Crunk De Gaulle,” that Tyler first heard the ticking of BPMs inside of his head, that would eventually become Cryptex. The tune was unlike  anything he’d ever heard--  it went so deep into his bones that he spent the next few days going through every track of edIT’s, Glitch Mob, and dozens of others just to keep this feeling alive. This moment is when 
Tyler knew he was destined to make music, to create what he feels within and to bring out the world inside his soul. 

His first big break came in 2014, when MTV hired Cryptex to assist Patrick Claire and his team at Elastic.tv to create remixes for every nomination category for the 2014 MTV VMAs. 

Most recently, Cryptex released his debut album, “End Silence” capturing the ears of glitch enthusiasts the world over. With a glitchy precision, Cryptex is set to debut his sophomore EP, “ Nightwatch” releasing  this November on Friday the 13th, via his own label, Orphic Recordings. 

Be ready to have your head twisted with glitched and cut melodies and vocals, along with ultra-heavy beats and rhythms. . Up first is the single, “The Fall,”  releasing October 27th. Till then, stay connected on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram

a digital ascetic; 
dirt, stars, and dreams.

All Shall Be Well, from Haarlem (the Netherlands), play instrumental, cinematic music. They build on themes, thresh out their melodies and look for unsuspected harmonies. Their music is highly associative; they liken their music to stories rather than songs.

After their debut record ROODBLAUW (2011) and sophomore album BLAUWGEEL (2014), the band’s latest project revolves around interpreting the works of classical composers such as Ludwig von Beethoven and Edvard Grieg and remaking them into new arrangements and compositions fit for a band line-up with guitars, drums and bass. The resulting EP, GEELZWART, was released late 2016.

All Shall Be Well have taken their music across many borders, including Germany, Denmark, Norway, Italy and Belgium. At live performances their image projections visualise their music, adding a deeper layer to their stories.

The band sees transparency as a great virtue; they release all their music through the Creative Commons, making it accessible for all to experience, share and create endless renditions.
