CYGNOTIC REALM

timeless epic space electronica

Melotronic Synthtrance-Project reigned by
Markus Lindwurm from Munich, Germany

CYGNOTIC REALM captures and extends the timeless epic moods of the classic golden analog synth-era in an evocative and modern mixed up style to an uplifted creation for the next platinum electronic millennium. The influences of diverse electronic styles are combined in a synthesized melange of legendary old-school sounds and at the same time contemporary beats & sequencerlines. Therefore the sublime melodic and often melancholic element is essential and characteristic for the 'cygnotic style'...telling a story in harmonic resonance with the progressed electronic listener.

This unique 'Cygnotic' blend keeps the tracks fresh, organic and alive. Blubbering Moogs, pulsating sequencerlines and brizzling space sceneries meet with tribal grooves, overtoned synthleads and deep moody pads crossing the fields of ambient, trance, psychedelic, Berlin School, classical synthesizers and even EBM in an unheard unique blend...just Cygnotic.

Enthusiasts of synthetic aroused sounds will certainly detect musical influences of electronic old-school masters like Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Kraftwerk that are proudly visible without ever losing its own identity and character. Furthermore Cygnotic Realm fills the gap between traditional electronic arrangements and progressed electronic listening without sounding dated. A passage through the last four decades of electronic sequenced music resulting in the next sublime dimension of gripping melodic electronic music where time melts away in a state of euphoric melancholy.

The forthcoming 2010 album 'Through The Gates of Nocturnal Sleep' reveils a darker cygnotic side...hold on until pre-summer

What the press says:

"Enthusiasts of melodic electronic music will be enthused and get into this album at once. Beyond some influences that are audible in the tracks an own musical style is evident with the focus on very gripping and catchy melodies. For me Cygnotic Realm is one of the discoveries of the year 2008."

"Freunde der melodischen Elektronikmusik werden bei diesem Album sofort auf ihre Kosten kommen, da neben einigen Anleihen, die in den Stücken zu hören sind, eine eigene Handschrift zu erkennen ist und bei der Musik vor allem sehr eingängige Melodien im Vordergrund stehen. Cygnotic Realm ist für mich eine Entdeckung des Jahres 2008."
