=============================================================================
since the mid 80 -ties working in the ritual - mythical -industrial
and magical music scene. This band is known for its mind expanding
sound. Primitive ethnical and contemporary industrial influences
are blended to create an unique style that has influenced many who
were looking for 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 - ties he worked on his own personnel music
style. Based on ancient influences and modern technology, the first
tape demo: öMythical music from the 21 St. century ô (1986 -
3RIOART) did not get any reaction in the music scene. ôOctahedron ô
(3RIOART) a limited 7 inch followed but again no one was
interested. At the start of the 90 -ties Yasna∩a joined the HYBRYDS
concept adding her clear vocals and acoustic instruments.Working
together with Djen Ajakan S and Vidna Obmana resulted in the first
of many CD releases: öThe ritual should be kept alive part 1
ô(3RIOART-1991). An ethnic styled trance piece.Suddenly the music
scene discovered the original, eclectic and powerful HYBRYDS sound.
Many CD releases followed, each release covering an aspect of the
path Magthea and Yasna∩a were walking.ôThe ritual should be kept
alive part 2 ö, contained collaborations with other musicians and
remixes of the first demo tape. In ôMusic for rituals "(ARTWARE)
the pure magical sound of HYBRYDS became reality, a struggle
between female and male energies gave birth to one of the most
original releases in the magical music scene. ô Soundtrack for the
Aquaria of the Antwerp Zooö mysterious deep ambient music created
with Ah Cama Sotz for the 150 Th. anniversary of the Zoo (1993). ö
The ritual of the raveö(DAFT) was their answer on the commercial
rave scene, the soundtrack of the rave of their tribe and ôThe
atavistic Fetisj ö (3RIOART) an industrial mini CD were the next
steps in their evolution. Each release different from style,yet it
is HYBRYDS. ôDreamscapes from a dark sideö(DAFT), their most dark
and deep ambient masterpiece,was the reflection of 5 years studio
work. A CD so strong and intense,covering the descending to the
black caves of your mind, a trip in your personnel subconsciousness
where all your fears are born. Although many think ô Cortex
Stimulation ö(DAFT) and Mistrust Authority (vinyl on SOMETHING
WEIRD) is a break with their musical past, Hybryds themselves label
this project as cyberpunk, all the elements which makes HYBRYDS so
unique, are still there. Industrial rhythms and hypnotic electronic
sound that crawls into the brain and brings the listener in
alternated states, this time not with ethnical techniques but with
LO-TEK technology. ô Tectonic Overload ö(ANTZEN) (1997) a limited
art release goes on and over the edge of industrial music,
dead-techno influenced rhythmtracks and hypnotic industrial noise
brings HYBRYDS closer to the dance floor of the madman. Each
release being accompanied by spare live performances, these
cyberpunk releases gave birth to their new live project: MISTRUST
AUTHORITY- PROMOTE DECENTRALIZATION, dedicated to all LO-TEKS (and
William Gibson), in their fight against political and religious
suppression. A project dealing with the media, virtual reality and
the future of the human race.This time they took the meaning of
industrial a step forward. This project balances on the edge of
tolerance. Extreme, structured sound,frequencies that goes straight
to the brain. Back uped with a lo- tek cybervideo and blended with
the mystical and emotional vocals from Yasna∩a, the noise evokes
trance. Trance evokes spiritual dimensions. ôVirtual Impactö (DAFT
2000) the provisional latest HYBRYDS release contains an excellent
selection of this powerful live sound and a live recorded videoclip
(made by the Stubnitz crew).As contrast in the HYBRYDS apocalyptic
live gigs, Yasna∩a brought her solo project live as a dark,
ethnical and more ambient show. A video based on her dreamscapes
and slide projecting creates the athmosphere for floating and soft
danceable rhythms and her esoteric vocals brings you in a sensual
dream state of mind.All these reflections you can find in the first
collection of 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).
