The Paignton Anomaly - The first time two original members of Kymatik have had the opportunity to work together in over a decade. The source recordings were made in Devon U.K. in November 2007. The results were then processed by each of us separately - Part One being produced in the U.K. and Part Two in The Netherlands. Part Two - 'Planked and Shored' - is available to download on this page, while Part One - 'Game is Fictional (Midwitch Cuckoos Rethink)' - is available from the [Kymatik] page. Collect them both! A very limited edition CD of only 33 copies, with accompanying artwork on glass designed for this release is now available for pre-order from [Paradigm Discs].
Buried Traktora is a composition inspired by the notion that matter is a conduit enabling consciousness to travel through time. Reincarnation, shape-shifting and pagan magick are related themes which guided the arrangements. The album is constructed from field recordings, processed environments, plus various treated electronic and acoustic instruments.
Last Details is an EP comprising of three tracks which were all originally part of a larger project named Ammoniac. The aim of the project was to release all the persistently re-occurring pieces of music that had been playing in my mind for many years, trapped there by an ego unwilling to deal with either the uncomfortable artistic or stylistic interpretations necessary. Only three from the eventual eight tracks made this cut. The others are in cold storage.
Energy Does Matter
"Here's what I think... I think that when I look at this world, you know, I can see it, hear it, feel it, smell it and touch it, but you'll never convince me, never in a million years that it's real. No way. That's a big no-no. I mean, do people actually have to pay to do all this stuff, and if so, how much? Do these people know about me? Do they know what I'm thinking? I'd better be quiet just in case I upset them. You know how some people are so easily upset. It doesn't take a lot, just one strange comment or badly chosen word can cause them to get really angry... start shaking and trembling sometimes, going red in the face, and even crying... so tread carefully".

Distant Suns
Returning to Europe in 1996 and settling in The Netherlands after two years of travelling and working in Asia with a suitcase studio, the compositions I had explored on the road were worked up into definite pieces which became the CD 'Distant Suns'. A wholly abstract album, pieces of which also found their way onto Kymatiks [In Ov Bounds] DJ set CD. Rather than assimilate the source files into any kind of recognisable or pure musical form, the material was processed on a computer running rudimentary single-track audio editing software, and carefully deconstructed to remove any sense of cultural influence. What remains is the pure sensory (morphic) essence of the locations in question. This is not your typical 'world music'.

Thanks, Mark! I'm glad you found me and you found something in the song I have up. Hopefully there'll be more to share in the future. Your sounds are wonderful too, especially "Odium". The final movement of it is really something beautiful. Be well! -Skyler

thank you. great work, this "Buried Traktora" album is very interesting. its construction process must be a really complex story to tell, i mean, each sound take has its own 'associated events', consciouly (or not) interlaced with what you willingly made it be as a part of the final track. ain't it? ^^

The Paignton Anomaly is work of rare complexity. Challenging AND listenable. Existential in nature, the listener builds his or her own associations, free from artificial cultural constructs - this work recursively builds upon itself. Alan"Landschaft.
