WILLOW - t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l (feat. Travis Barker)

This is the first experiment by Sky of Hipnautica, featuring the powerful soft synth, Plasmonic created and distributed by Rhizomatic Software Synthesis.  This is not a previous version of Plasmonic 2.01 but an entirely different song.  This is actually a premastered version, more work will be done, and this track will be updated.

For more information on the soft synth, Plasmonic, Visit: https://rhizomatic.fr/

Updated on April 19, 2022: improved tempo by+4 BPM, refined the pre-mastering to define the 808 more distinctly and improved overall mix.  This track still has not been fully mastered yet thus the reason it's a little quite, just turn it up a little on your own. :)

Plasmonic combines the resonant depth of physical modeling with subtractive synthesis. Our goal is for Plasmonic to approach the depth and detail of an acoustic instrument, while making it easy to shape the sound into anything you want. Its deep modulation capability and MPE support make it very playable and expressive.

Plasmonic v1.07c

Plasmonic 2.01 is not a different version of Plasmonic 1.07 but entirely different songs, based on the same soft synth. This is yet another sonic exploration by Sky of Hipnautica, utilizing the new Plasmonic soft synth by Rhizomatic Software Synthesis. The goal of the Plasmonic Soft Synth was to approach the depth and detail of an acoustic instrument, while making it easy to shape the sound into anything you want this is what has drawn me into the new sonic landscapes that make this instrument so capable of achieving.  

(THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS - some of the triggers and frequencies of the synth need to be tweaked, and the track mastered - but I was so excited I wanted to share what I had so far)

When the cycle happening without any beginning and end.

After being invited to perform a set for the Garcia Birthday Band on Feb 22, 2014 in Portland Oregon at the Goodfoot, I started scouring Grateful Dead songs to get a better sense of their music, while I knew a few things about the Dead, I hadn't looked much at them in detail. I was deeply inspired by Jerry Garcia's word, I kind of wish he was my dad. 

This track is one of two tracks written for the show inspired by the Garcia, and focuses on an electronic trip hop beat, and is an unusually fun piece, it's not often that I can recall writing a song that made me laugh. I consider this track part two of Visionary which features a beautiful melodic sitar piece by a dear friend and one of the members of Hipnautica.  If you're a dead fan be sure to check it out too.

Released April 19th, Riptide is the 2nd single and title track from Atlas Maior's 5th studio release: "Riptide." A combination of Middle Eastern, & Progressive Jazz, featuring powerful riffs and deep cut grooves that illustrate the group's dynamic sound.

This musical offering is a sonic musical journey created by the progressive jazz, & world music group Atlas Maior. Influenced by Arab, Ethiopian, Jazz, and Turkish music traditions, Riptide is the title track from the band's  upcoming album "Riptide" set for release on May 3rd, 2019. 

"Mixing Middle Eastern sounds with progressive jazz, the song is a psychedelic musical exploration that winds and curves but never loses the groove. While musician brings something to the table, Joshua Thomson shines on saxophone as he channels the more worldly jazz experimentation of artists like John Coltrane and Pharaoh Sanders. His saxophone playing flows along in a hypnotic way that feels like it is sailing over a desert night. With such a unique sound, the members of Atlas Maior are part of a new young wave of jazz musicians like Kamasi Washington and Christian Scott who are pushing boundaries and breaking new ground to usher in a new era of jazz that is truly electrifying." - Glide Magazine

Hipnautica, is the culmination of internal and external struggles, inner voices refined and what Sky calls devine passion since birth.  A musician and visionary, Sky, started Hipnautica in 2006 after a near death experience.  Sky was not new to Electronic music though, having been a founding member of the Austin Electronic music scene since 1986. 

At a very young age, Sky started using hardware synths, keyboards, and computers like the Atari STe, back in the late 80s and was already on the radio by the time he was 17.   In a town known for county and rockabilly it was a constant struggle to convince venues of what he believed would be coming and that the world would embrace computers, and technology in the future of music. From the first Casio he recognized the ghost within the machine. Today he loves to combine styles and marry both organic, acoustic and electronic elements to create his signature sound which is hypnotic and intoxicating to the soul. 

Sky writes, "Through organic synthesis, waveforms, and frequencies unattainable by traditional instruments new worlds could be explored internally, new pathways to higher levels of consciousness could be explored and magnified. "Real music" is music artists create from true inspiration, from the soul, and through discipline and experimentation we can refine that inspiration to present works that hopefully will inspire others.

“The evolution of electronic music is constant and it's been a part of my soul for over 20 years, I'm constantly excited to explore new ideas, to fuse genres, to cross merge sound, to synthesize new sounds that transport people to inner realms. When people ask me what kind of music I write, I used to try and define it, but over the last few years. My answer is simple and based on my own personal spiritual and artistic evolution, "I write music". You may love some of it, you may hate some of it, but ultimately I simply have to create and I hope some of what I do will inspire you.  Perhaps some of what I present will speak to you, either way, I simply have to create. It's my purpose, it's my reason, it's a part of my soul and I encourage people to explore this life, to travel inward and outward."
