Last week, we talked about TOMSIN.
Next up on flyoutlet is an artist I’ve for a long time seen as underrated. With a mixed discography of beautiful piano scores and 8-bit marvel, I present, sylcmyk.
sylcmyk is one of the artists to go to when it comes to music you can relax and get cozy to. sylcmyk has a growing collection of beautiful piano compositions that are sure to ease you up. What’s likable about these compositions are how active and full they become. In mere seconds, they travel far and wide on the scale, and often they sound like pieces that you’d hear in the background of a film. They don’t even need a film though, they make up their own story.
When I'm alone I can feel my mind taking me to the next note, chord, arpeggio, progression before my fingers can catch up.
Of course, in the bunch there will be electronic songs which might be pumping, or has a tempo that isn’t that easy, but sylcmyk makes sure it treats you the same. sylcmyk keeps his style throughout, when the compositions he’d play on the piano get played on something else. Flutes, strings, and the sound of a Game Boy are here plucked, essentially to have the sound of a piano dipped into another sauce. Although a lot of his electronic music is upbeat, sylcmyk does his thing to keep it sylcmyk, and assures you a calm experience.
I got into electronic music in my teens but the piano has been my habit since I was 4 years old! Video games like Dance Dance Revolution and Beatmania IIDX are why I became interested in producing music.
Among the pianos and electronic music, there is something in sylcmyk that I believe adds on to why I think he’s an artist to get on here. While listening, you’ll suddenly stumble into something else, a mix, where sylcmyk starts off with making a pure instrumental, to then latch electronic elements onto them. One example I want to give here is “Taste.” This song starts off with a calm and easy beat, until a darker bass synth comes up in the lower end. This addition created depth, and at the same time gave the song a new shine. If you’re checking out sylcmyk’s page, there’s a lot more of it to be found.
My discography is like my personal diary. It's great going back and listening to things I wrote as far back as 2006! I have hundreds of unreleased material that I use as a source material.
Slow down a little and relax to sylcmyk’s music:
