What it Takes to Get There

"[...] Wir träumen von Reisen durch das Weltall: ist denn das Weltall nicht in uns? Die Tiefen unsers Geistes kennen wir nicht. – Nach innen geht der geheimnisvolle Weg. In uns, oder nirgends ist die Ewigkeit mit ihren Welten, die Vergangenheit und Zukunft. [...]"
aus: Novalis: "Blütenstaub"

"We dream of traveling through the universe—but is not the universe within ourselves? The depths of our spirit are unknown to us—the mysterious way leads inwards. Eternity with its worlds—the past and future—is in ourselves or nowhere."
from: Novalis: "Pollen"

"Engage!"
Captain Jean-Luc Picard

Frontier

Step into Tyconics latest album "Cyber-2088", a dark, post apocalyptic world of cyberpunk synthwave energy and atmosphere. Here you'll find a blend of futuristic electronic sounds fused with 80's inspired melody, chord and rhythm progressions. We're amongst a fallen world, but there is still a glimmer of hope. Thank you for listening!

III/III. Outliers

The desolate landscape of cold, black sand stretches all the way to the horizon in both directions, so we decide to press inland. Leaving the crashing waves fading far behind us, we are soon enveloped in a heavy fog that brings with it a darkness that blankets our surroundings. Only the meagre light that can pierce its shroud illuminates a path forward. Where and what is this place? Is this pale light even from our own Sun, or some other star? Emerging through the darkness, ominous silhouettes take form in the distance, resembling towering figures, growing exponentially in number - like a phalanx of guardians protecting some forsaken kingdom within. Venturing closer we see they are a wall of trees at the edge of a dense forest. The impenetrable darkness threatens to consume us, but we cannot turn back now. Just remember you are not alone - I won't leave you here. Together, we will find a way.

Started as bass groove after going to a Thundercat gig, needed something else so came up with the 11 note repeating figure on guitar which was then doubled on keys to give an almost Steve Reich type effect. 

One to check out start to finish if you have the time, thanks for listening. For the guitar geeks there's a wee solo at the end.

Drums: NI Karriem Riggins.
Bass: Warwick 5-string Corvette through NI Guitar Rig and during the 11 note sequence section sustained notes on NI Monark synth bass.
Guitars: Suhr Custom Classic and Strandberg Salen Jazz through a few instances of NI Guitar Rig. Short solo at the end is the Suhr.
Keys: various NI, Arturia and Spitfire.
Mastering: Ozone 10 Standard.
DAW: Ableton 12.
