Byzar's constantly changing collective environment coalesces once again to generate this new full length recording, Gaiatronyk. As a group, their method involves feeding a number of instruments: violin, guitars, bass, turntables and more into a series of electronic envelopes and channels. They add a range of beats, from pingy bells to low stutters, and unintelligible voices, singing and speaking, floating in and out of the mix. Gaiatronyk takes approximately half of it's material from their sprawling, dense live performances and half from more tense studio work. Overall, their music has a strange looseness to the collage, a flow from which subtle beats rise and fall from the complex map of the other sounds and instruments. Articulated, but barely so, verging on ambient, yet not wholly there, either. Byzar (pronounced 'bizarre') take pleasure in stripping meanings and context from articulated sounds, concepts, and language. In their linguistic excursions (the misspellings, newly minted words, etc.) and music they try to avoid any connotations that produce concrete feelings, preferring to cultivate aesthetics that are anti-asthetic; that are elusive, fleeting and amorphous.
