About this user

Hello Universe, I am Brendan [aka Cygnus as a musical alias]. I am heavily into music, art, movies, computers, philosophy, cosmology and anything out of the ordinary..
.. I have been playing bass since i was 12 and electric guitar for a few years. I try and practice for a few hours every day. I play our band songs, classical pieces [for warming up and finger dexterity], other bands songs, or mostly just jam it out. I'm fluent at tapping, and a bit of funk slap. I have gained influence from some amazing bass players along the way such as Sean Malone[cynic, aghora] and Lars K norberg[spiral architect], aswell as incorporating some of my own techniques to create some special bass lines and variety within my music.
.. Music should never be forced out or analytically thought about. It should flow naturally from your collective subconscious, this is how the best music is made. You are only limited by your own imagination, and try to be open to as much styles of music as possible, this is how you can really break the molds and get the full potential out of your instrument.

I am the bass player of the following bands:

NE OBLIVISCARIS: An amazing dark band consisting of 6 of the most talented and varied musicians i have ever played with. Together we explore a varied mix of genre's, including black and death metal, but also with classical and folk influences. At times we can be brutally fast and technical, but often strip back down to atmospheric mellow sections and use dramatic build ups. Our music is an extension of our souls and together we all compose an overwhelming universal energy and volley of emotion

PRIMORDIAL SPACE: Which features the two extremely talented Krenzin brothers, aswell as NeO's lead guitarist Benjamin. The music can be described as soulful groove death metal. It can often be moody and slow, or lightning fast with bluesy groove feel.

APHOTIC DAWN: tech/deathgroove band featuring the blistering Dan Presland from NeO on drums and the brainchild of james lowe. Our songs are short/fast and executed with a brutal precise attack. Aphotic bring out Some of my fastest bass playing yet!

INFINITE DENSITY: My own studio death metal/experimental project where i play guitar and bass, write lyrics and create artwork. The project is based on universal energy, personal beliefs and cosmological science, similar to bands such as Mithras and Wormed. It features highly talented and diverse vocalist Ben Boyle[Aphotic]. For the moment i programmed drums but will be recording with a real drummer soon.

"UNTITLED" JAZZ TRIO: with Youngie[ex Alarum] and Tim[Neo] making atmospheric space-influenced jazzy-rock instrumentals with a lot of room for improvisation. Very mellow and laid back pink floyd landscapes and other soulful exploration of ideas

CYGNUS: Last but not least, I'm slowly writing a bass solo album. Exploring all different styles and techniques, tapping, slap, fretless, ebow, layers and effects. It's a life long process and i don't know when it will ever be finished! I compose for it whenever i feel inspired.
