Prologues

Requiem

@skylinbeats’ “Odyssey” is a concept album of 8 tracks building a story arc on the foundations of bass music genres such as wave, grime, dubstep and future garage.

The record is an exploration of the early “wave” sound, but even more so a work of sonic fiction melting together inspirations from dystopian cinematics, mysticism, and psychedelic imaginaries.

Sonically, the album puts a focus on atmospheric sound design and emotive synth textures, supported by furious drum programming and droning reece basslines.

From fragments of German and British rave culture to Bulgarian choirs, Chinese zithers and Japanese taiko drums, the album embodies its name in regards to its diverse instrumental palette.

“Odyssey” is a journey through many trials and tribulations, taking the listener on a path of becoming.

Mirage

My interpretation of the Bulgarian capital city within the sonic realms of wave music. It captures the grungy, apocalyptic feeling of post-socialist Eastern European metropolises.

Shinjuku

inspired by the dystopian scenery of Hong Kong’s Kowloon Walled City, processed Chinese instrument Yangqin meets bass-heavy half-time beats and wavey synthesizers in the latest skylin chapter: “Kowloon”
