SYLKEN creates stunningly vital, emotionally charged music that responds to the surrounding environment and pulses with a life of it's own. Their shows are truly moving musical events, magical experiences that often leave me breathless. The debut album, "Illusions Of Light" released by Zero Music, brings together seven pieces highlighting some of the different permutations of the project, and brilliantly represents the magic of SYLKEN. Featuring work by some of Toronto's most talented ambient performers, "Illusions of Light" presents a perfect mixture of organic living sounds and carefully crafted synthesized tones. Subtly processed guitar glides through Sleepless and First Star, trumpet sweeps through Spirals like the passing of angels, and exquisitely delicate synth arrangements lie underneath it all, caressing the listener. Bliss. "Illusions Of Light" by SYLKEN is available now at PiNG THiNGS for $15.
