released July 18, 2019 on Carpe Sonum Records

"This is my dreamlike journey in the embrace of the universe. This journey takes place in our inner world through imagination and leads us to the perfect relaxation. Anything can happen in this existence. Anything that we would like to do or imagine can be reversed. We can expand space, stop time and even reverse the melting of an icicle."

All songs written by Tamás Károly Tamás.
Mixed & recorded at Budapest between 2010 March and 2017 April.
Mastered by David Morley.
Inspired by Pete Namlook and Tetsu Inoue.
Dedicated to the memory of Stephen Hawking.

Hungarian electronic musician Aythar doesn’t mess around. He seems to have directly engaged, tuned in, and plugged in to the very molecules of gigantic interstellar tuning forks. Through his many-colored, shifting tapestries of ear-popping synthetic textures, realized from an enviable collection of prime keyboards and thoroughly charged-up modules, the sumptuous expanse of Cosmic Resonances provides the listener with more than just a mere glimpse into Aythar's macrouniversal soundworlds. Unlike others who are content to cycle their drones on endless repeat, bereft of purpose, navigation, or destination, here the artist revels in the sheer glory of beautifully wrought electronic arias that pinch the ear, alter course, tweak frequencies, and chart numerous surprises. The opening “Universe” is but one taut example, but later pieces such as the riveting masterblaster sequencer affect of “Glowing Comet” propel you out amongst the galaxies’ turbulent movements, where gravity ceases and various celestial bodies dance and play. Kinda awe-inspiring and fairly godlike, in the best sense of the word.

Carpe Sonum Records overlapped and picked up from where Pete Namlook (Kuhlmann) left off with his phenomenal Fax +49-69/450464 around the time of his untimely passing in 2012 as they were originally the North American distributor’s for Namlook’s imprint. Now going on a half dozen years they have been consistently releasing electronic music in many splintered subgenres including Cosmic Resonances, the new one from Budapest’s Aythar (Tamás Károly Tamás). It’s a world of wavy ambient synthesis, as chill as can be.

Lengthy passages carry the torch of constantly evolutionizing the already obtuse boundaries of what ambient is and can be. Recorded between 2010 and 2017 this is mastered by David Morley with a nod to both Namlook and electronic pioneer Tetsu Inoue, dedicated to the memory of Stephen Hawking. And yes, this embodies that futuristic sound that once made the ever-changing face of Tangerine Dream famous, as if you are on a space bus in the stratosphere. It glows of subtle melody and enigmatic mystery, imbuing its title with a hint of truth, and plenty room to breath and weave new realities.

Cosmic Resonances Pt 1 to 3 are a trio of tracks in succession that run about twenty five minutes, and have this almost translucent coating over the deep-tunnel echoes and slick chill. It’s a sublime, meditative soundtrack that hosts immersive lows and emotional, soaring symphonic-adjacent highs. By the third part the listener is left in a bit of a limbo state, dangling in a looped cycle of sedation.

On Glowing Comet there’s a sense of re-emergence with a bolder cadence that voluminizes before your ears. The synths are tight with sober guitar squalls that are barely recognizable. This hums in the depths of space, planetary and of the mind. The one point where the atmosphere shifts dramatically is on Icedrop, almost indicative of its title. After an exuberant rise and drop in energy, here Aythar presents a glacially soft work that is gently paced, lost to slumber. Its sensual in its signature and reverence to the elements.

In the end we are floating on a cerebral cloud in Rem Phase. I’m reminded of sounds I’ve heard while experiencing stone massage, and drifting off. I’m reminded of an kaleidoscopic amalgamation of ambient and regional works through time, of elusive references so fleeting that I’m forgetting in mid-thought, letting go as this writhes deeper and deeper into the psyche. With hints of Hungarian folk music, a speck of Middle Eastern eloquence, and lots of futurescape flair – this is one of those records that takes you far from the here and now.
