The world of experimental music has its singular artists carving a niche for themselves with innovative harmonies and philosophies that takes its audience one place – deep within their minds. This Giessen, Germany-based artist known as nyxotype has put forward the new single titled “Kaa,” which softly couches itself within themes of metamorphosis, evolution and the fear of the unknown.
As an ode to the shy python character “Kaa” in the “Jungle Book” by Rudyard Kipling, the song takes the audience on a journey that is rooted amongst deepest and dark forests which adverts to the interplay between nature and humanity. From the very moment it starts, the song captivates its audience with an almost entranced soundscape consisting of soft melodic sounds along with looming and mystical drums.
While the song is laced around mysticism, it manages to beautifully blend the sultry vocals of the artist along with streams of intricate melodic lines that give an oral history of a snake and the philosophy that surrounds it. Accompanying the song are the sound of river streams which compliment the overall flow of the song and paints an imagery that encapsulates the world of Kaa.
The especial thing about Kaa differs from the other sound creations is nyxotype’s effort into providing an experience to the listener. Embracing the genre-less world and the way ‘Kaa’ departs from the contemporary is unimaginative, the artist conceived an abay focusing on the audience’s fantasy of the unknown, the secrets of the jungle and the knowledge of the old snake.
As nyxotype makes it clear, Kaa is not an exhibit that is intended for most people, however, it is a rare find for those who dare to go past the mundane which guarantees to immerse the listener to a world full of enchantment and melkvat. Accompanied by sorrowful songs, ambient feelings and direct to the mythology and history of Kaa, this particular song cements nyxotype as an artist who was never afraid to push boundaries deemed to be toxic with rich history.
