Research Records indicate their inclination for cosmic instrumentation and kraut pervaded polyrhythms once again with an introduction to newcomer Glass Beams. Recorded at the beginning of 2020, Mirage is the first release from the artist, issuing four compositions that lend from a profusion of sounds and influences.

"I was looking for new energy & inspiration to write a bunch of new music. I recalled a childhood memory of my parents and I watching a DVD they had bought: ‘Concert For George’ (a tribute concert for George Harrison from the Beatles). George’s long time collaborator and friend Ravi Shanka put an Indian Orchestra together for that concert, and even though I hadn’t even started playing music at the time that I watched this, the sounds really stuck with me.

My father was born in India and moved here when he was 17, and after recalling this memory I decided to look up musicians from my father’s hometown and surrounding areas. I found a wealth of Indian classical, disco and pop music that formed the building blocks for this record. As soon as I had that vision of what I wanted to write and why I wanted to write it, the songs just flowed out really." – Glass Beams

The album's opener and title Mirage arrives with a coiling vocal mantra that conspires with a sliding bassline and transcendent synthwork, reminiscent of early 70’s prog jams yet inverted and futuristic. Taurus is a brisk arrangement, steeped with spaghetti-western elements and space-jazz to pave the way for the agile Kong. Rife with psych-fusion guitar phrases and instrumentation, Kong unfolds like a forecast lysergic voyage. The finale Rattlesnake nudges the serpent with intergalactic scales and spellbinding riffs. We may not know much about the enigmatic Glass Beams but Mirage is one epic inauguration, leaving the listener with more questions than answers.

Romancing The Stone

ALAYA — ALBUM INTRODUCTION
From the very first pulse, Alaya opens a sacred space.

This is not a playlist. It’s a living vibrational field designed to resonate with the deep memory of the body, the soul, and the unseen. 72 tracks that are not merely heard — they are crossed. Each one is an autonomous frequency, a sonic cell with its own will, part of a living web of vibration.

Alaya pulses in E minor, oscillating between Tech House and IDM, blending high-end synthesis with hypnotic rhythms and ritual sensitivity. Complex arpeggios, saturated basslines, robotic voices, and underwater textures form a spiral auditory architecture with no fixed center. This is future music woven from ancestral memory.

Produced by Enano Bendito Records, in collaboration with Domoschile, the album is meant to be explored, not consumed. Felt through the bones more than through the ears.

Each listen is an alignment.

Each frequency, a key.

Alaya will not be sorted by popularity, but by collective resonance. In the coming days, the order of deepest vibration will emerge — chosen by the listeners themselves.

Listen slowly. Listen with presence. Alaya is alive.🇪🇸 ALAYA — PRESENTACIÓN DEL ÁLBUM
Desde el primer pulso, Alaya abre un espacio sagrado.

Este no es un álbum. Es un campo vibracional diseñado para resonar en lo profundo del cuerpo, del alma, de la memoria. Son 72 pistas que no se escuchan: se atraviesan. Cada una es una vibración autónoma, una célula sonora con voluntad propia, parte de una red viviente de frecuencias.

-------

Alaya vibra en Mi menor y se mueve entre los territorios del Tech House y el IDM, fusionando síntesis de alta gama con ritmos hipnóticos y sensibilidad ritual. Arpegios complejos, bajos densos, voces sintéticas y texturas subacuáticas conforman una arquitectura auditiva en espiral, sin centro fijo. Es música de futuro, tejida con memorias antiguas.

Producido por Enano Bendito Records, en colaboración con Domoschile, este álbum fue creado para ser explorado, no consumido. Para ser sentido con los huesos, más que con los oídos.

Cada escucha es una alineación.

Cada frecuencia, una llave.

Alaya no se organiza por popularidad, sino por resonancia. Y en los próximos días, el propio colectivo elegirá —de manera orgánica— el orden de vibración más profundo. Vos también sos parte de esa afinación.

Escuchá lento. Escuchá con intención. Alaya está vivo.
