Krypton

Krypton is a solo project of Krzysztof Berg from Szczecin in Poland (born in 1986). He’s been fascinated in sounds since 1999, when he recorded his first track on some popular music software in that times.

Krzysztof Berg about Krypton:

It’s hard to consider krypton’s music – mostly it’s electronic music with enormous variety of deep & atmo sounds. Most often krypton experiments with many different sounds simultaneously, that’s why many people consider his music little “strange”. For a while now, he’s been more focused on the silent & dark melodies, structure and arrangement of his songs. His music is for all people but not for everyone.

The last work by Krypton is “Silent Drama” published by the netlabel Test Tube.

Personally, I like this ethereal music and enjoy listening to it, but for a while now I've had doubts about the artistry of it all. With today's systems, putting together pieces like this is damned simple and not particularly innovative.

Not that simplicity itself is a problem. Even composing like Cage was simple, but at the time it made sense. Even the loops of early Eno were simple, but they were a novelty.

On the other hand, Krypton is quite refined, so I'm pointing it out. Time will tell.
