The new single, Spider the Spellwork, of Nyxotype dives with glitch, synth pop and dark, electronic influences. Right from the beginning of a song, you’re immersed into experimental rhythms, pulsation of bass and elating harmonies that merge perfectly.
This track is very special to Nyxotype. It is said and preached to be all about discovery, a struggle and rising up from one’s routines in life. The title and lyrics of the song speak of the traps or cages we build for ourselves; although the concept of escaping from those traps dominates all episodes of the music video.
More to my amazement, Nyxotype has no professional training when it comes to digital music. Although she said that she is not very fluent in technology as such, she took her time to learn the digital audio workstation and produce her work. The end product is a combination of acoustic and digital elements in its production. The unpredictable percussion makes it all exciting, although a heavy sub-bass can be heard in the background. The piece is back by shimmering synths and layered effects that gives more of an interstellar feel.
This is possibly because Nyxotype’s voices are covered in reverbs to increase on mystery as they take us through this sonic landscape. Brave describes the lyrics as somewhat enigmatic, magical chants that inspire the audience draw the questions about their own capability to escape the vicious circle.
This track proves that Nyxotype has improved her art skills as a musician. It gets very emotional and it’s very technical at the same time – the kind of track that leaves an imprint. It is much more than a song and Infact, it is an invitation tostep outside of the rea,l and discover the fairy dust within.
