“The Unseen Ones” is this song’s title, and is it well-chosen. It starts with a gentle flow while mysterious sounds surface through twisted textures. Then, dark beats summon The Unseen Ones. And while they may be unseen, they are definitely not unheard. They live inside this song, and each time it is listened, they get to play around with the ever-changing imagination. This piece is both an atmospheric masterpiece and a body mover.

A veil of sparkling chimes unfolds. Underneath, a majestic colored butterfly spreads its wings, mystic chants accompanying its rise. What colors does the butterfly have?

Sound transforms. It metamorphosizes itself and those that perceive it.

Sound is magic. It does unexplainable things for unexplainable reasons.

Sound is life. Vibration is creation.

Sound is neither good or bad. It is only when sound meets perception when such conclusions are drawn.

Sound inspires. These words were guided into existence by pulsating percussion, sweeping synths, and strange, crispy textures.

It starts slow, creeping its way through echoes and dark soundscapes. Two minutes later, the percussion kicks in and you’re on your way to what Tzolk’in wants to be a journey into the ancient Mayan culture, reinterpreted by the contemporary electronic music style. Tzolk’in is a type of calendar used by the long-gone Mayan civilization.

This is a seriously introspective song, but not one that is easy to digest. Dark undertones are joined by a subdued but relentless thrashing. In my book, it’s one of the best finds of 2015.

You can listen to the song for free, in good quality, on BandCamp, which is one of the best websites when it comes to supporting artists. You can also purchase the song (or album) from this same location. And in case you’re wondering, yes, I did purchase Tzolk’in’s album :).
