Hybryds

Since the mid 80' working in the ritual - mythical - industrialand magical music scene. This band is known for its mind expanding sound.Primitive ethnical and contemporary industrial influences are blendedto create an unique style that has influenced many who were lookingfor spiritual dimensions. In the beginning of the 80 -ties, Magthea,the male side of the Hybryds was involved in THE KLINIK, in the mid 80' he worked on his own personnel music style. Based on ancientinfluences and modern technology, the first tape demo: "Mythicalmusic from the 21 St. century " (1986 - 3RIOART) did not get anyreaction in the music scene.

"Octahedron " (3RIOART) a limited 7 inch followed but againno one was interested. At the start of the 90-ties Yasnaia joined the Hybryds concept adding her clear vocals and acoustic instruments.Workingtogether with Djen Ajakan S and Vidna Obmana resulted in the first ofmany CD releases: "The ritual should be kept alive part 1" (3RIOART-1991). An ethnic styled trance piece.Suddenly the music scene discovered theoriginal, eclectic and powerful Hybryds sound. Many CD releases followed,each release covering an aspect of the path Magthea and Yasnaia werewalking."The ritual should be kept alive part 2", containedcollaborations with other musicians and remixes of the first demo tape.In "Music for rituals" (ARTWARE) the pure magical sound of Hybryds became reality, a struggle between female and male energiesgave birth to one of the most original releases in the magical musicscene. "Soundtrack for the Aquaria of the Antwerp Zoo" mysteriousdeep ambient music created with Ah Cama Sotz for the 150th anniversaryof the Zoo (1993).

"The ritual of the rave"(DAFT) was their answer on the commercialrave scene, the soundtrack of the rave of their tribe and "Theatavistic Fetisj " (3RIOART) an industrial mini CD were the nextsteps in their evolution. Each release different from style, yet it is Hybryds. "Dreamscapes from a dark side"(DAFT), their mostdark and deep ambient masterpiece,was the reflection of 5 years studiowork. A CD so strong and intense,covering the descending to the blackcaves of your mind, a trip in your personnel subconsciousness whereall your fears are born. Although many think " Cortex Stimulation"(DAFT) and Mistrust Authority (vinyl on SOMETHING WEIRD) is abreak with their musical past, Hybryds themselves label this projectas cyberpunk, all the elements which makes Hybryds so unique, are stillthere. Industrial rhythms and hypnotic electronic sound that crawlsinto the brain and brings the listener in alternated states, this timenot with ethnical techniques but with LO-TEK technology. " TectonicOverload "(ANTZEN) (1997) a limited art release goes on and overthe edge of industrial music, dead-techno influenced rhythmtracks andhypnotic industrial noise brings Hybryds closer to the dance floor ofthe madman.

Each release being accompanied by spare live performances, these cyberpunkreleases gave birth to their new live project: MISTRUST AUTHORITY- PROMOTEDECENTRALIZATION, dedicated to all LO-TEKS (and William Gibson), intheir fight against political and religious suppression. A project dealingwith the media, virtual reality and the future of the human race.Thistime they took the meaning of industrial a step forward. This projectbalances on the edge of tolerance. Extreme, structured sound,frequenciesthat goes straight to the brain. Back uped with a lo-tek cybervideoand blended with the mystical and emotional vocals from Yasnaia, thenoise evokes trance. Trance evokes spiritual dimensions.

"Virtual Impact" (DAFT 2000) the provisional latest Hybryds release contains an excellent selection of this powerful live soundand a live recorded videoclip (made by the Stubnitz crew).As contrastin the Hybryds apocalyptic live gigs, Yasnaia brought her solo projectlive as a dark, ethnical and more ambient show. A video based on herdreamscapes and slide projecting creates the athmosphere for floatingand soft danceable rhythms and her esoteric vocals brings you in a sensualdream state of mind.All these reflections you can find in the first CD ROM release of Hybryds; (Orders at vuz@conx.de) An immense collectionof artwork, video, digital poetry and information of 16 years of Hybryds existance, available for Macintosh and Windows.

Look out for new projects: NA-DHA ( Magthea & others), Haydhra (Magthea & Leigh Hunt) and MesmerEyes ( Yasnaia, Djen Ajakan & Deprofundis).
