“We are perceivers, and what we perceive is our reality. This is the secret of Hyle, and of this great moment we call ‘reality.’” — Hyle
Hyle refers to the Prima Materia, that which is always there; the basic matter of everything. It is the space between the cracks, dark matter, if you will. It is what creates and sustains the waking moment we call reality. Hyle is the Saturnine element, the first ingredient of the Great Work.
Hyle, as the sound artist, seeks to alter the mood and perception of the listener through a sonic form of psychodrama, or hypnosis. By listening to the sounds as they progress, change and mutate, one’s perception gets lost in the composition.

Consensus reality is a way to describe the most commonly accepted perception of our universe. Through most of the piece, there is a definition between the guitar and the abstract noise, between the commonplace world and the undefined world we can only sometimes glimpse, but sometimes they blur…
