Helios - An Audio-Visual Performance Film 


There’s something timeless about the marriage of music and images, with no dialogue. Following in the inspiring footsteps of films such as "Baraka", "Atlas Dei" and "Ashes & Snow", for the last decade Nick Klimenko (aka Chronos) has been carefully curating and combining unique footage in preparation for a similar project. Now at last the results can be seen as video-clips, photos, computer graphics, dance performances and live acts are all woven together to accompany the wonderful ambient music from Altar Record’s "Helios" album ( altar.bandcamp.com/album/helios-24bits ) - reworked & remastered into a stunning cinematic experience. 


Get ready to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, intriguing dance forms, ethnic cultures, hypnotic sand drawings, the far reaches of deep space and the miracles of modern technology -in a world that is our own, and yet far, far removed from the rush and chaos of everyday life. 


Ten specially selected artists -unique in their talents- were chosen to team up and work on this project to create six complementary chapters. Themes range from the timelessness of Earth’s cultures and beauty, to the stark brilliance of outer space and beyond; from ancient mystic rituals from days gone by, to the primal forces of nature that continue to awe; and from spiritual practice and faith, to universal human feelings of love and devotion. 


This engaging yet relaxing film is a gift, lovingly crafted and offered to the world at large via the internet, featuring the creative talents of the Chronos Project team and their ten years of outstanding artistic output. 


The movie is available for viewing directly on Youtube ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYBzdCrC7RA ). As a bonus you’ll be getting the free digital release of "Music from Helios Film" in its entirety on Bandcamp (in the format of your choice). The release contains new versions of the worldwide supported Helios album - remixed and rearranged with extra drums tracks, live vocals, cello and guitar, all done in a tastefully cinematic way. 


Enjoy the Journey!

Skylines
Release Date: February 12, 2016
© 2016 Keith Richie

Skylines is a cinematic electronic journey that explores the architecture of sound through a global lens—an immersive album inspired by the skylines of iconic cities around the world.

Blending elements of electronic rock, synthwave, and dark synthpop, composer Keith Richie crafts an atmospheric tribute to nine cities—each track echoing the energy, emotion, and identity of its urban muse. From the rainy pulse of “Seattle Walk” to the neon-tinted melancholy of “Goodbye Dubai” and the chaotic haze of “Lost in Beijing,” Skylines invites listeners to travel without moving.

This isn’t just a sonic travelogue—it’s a fusion of geography and emotion. Each composition evokes the sensation of standing beneath towering structures, feeling the movement of life around you, and absorbing the invisible rhythm of the city itself.

The album features exclusive versions of fan-favorite singles including “Seattle Walk,” “Lost in Beijing,” and “Goodbye Dubai,” all reimagined as part of a cohesive global experience.

Whether you're drawn to lush synthesizer textures or inspired by the spirit of travel, Skylines offers a powerful soundscape that stretches across continents—and deep into the imagination.

Grains of Sound is the progressive psy-trance to downtempo psychill to beatless ambient project from brothers Chris (Exeris) & Jason Sevanick, - dance, chill, or zone, they have you covered. If that wasn't enough, the brothers gained notoriety with their industrial act, Mindless Faith.

In 2017, Grains of Sound performed, among other festivals, in The Chill Dome at Ozora, the renowned global gathering. Their latest release is an EP on their own AlterCulture Records called "The Dome" which features five psychill and one beatless psybient tracks and attempts to share the amazing ambient experience of The Dome.

In 2007, Grains of Sound released their double-disc debut album "Rays of Life", comprised of Vol. 1 Down (downtempo) and Vol. 2 Under (ambient), on AlterCulture Records. Their follow up triple-disc album "Sine Language" (2010) received even greater acclaim for their exploration of different styles and energy levels. From atmospheric progressive psy-trance, to lush soundscapes and deep downtempo beats, to vast evolving layers which leave all beats behind, pure ambient intoxication. 

In 2012 Pharmacy Music released "Eager Fingers" and "Paradigm Bag" which showcased the duo's beautifully rich soundscapes driven by a progressive psychedelic trance core. So in 2013, Pharmacy asked Grains of Sound to remix "Beyond the Limit" by John "00" Fleming and Christopher Lawrence.

Grains of Sound has also had tracks featured on various compilations including most recently on BMSS Records. Grains of Sound  continues to perform in the US and Europe, past festival bookings include: Ozora (Hungary), New Healing (Germany), Life Celebration (Croatia), Goa Dupa (Poland), Zagoa (Morocco), and Gaian Mind (US).
