Metropolitan Life by Hylonis

“Metropolitan Life” is an ambient album capturing the pulse of the city and the fleeting moments of those who inhabit it. A park surrounded by skyscrapers, a supermarket just before closing, the stillness of an elevator, solitude within the crowd—fragments of urban existence woven into sound.

Rhythmic pulses, resonant synth textures, and mechanical undertones merge to reflect the passage of time within the metropolis. A soundscape where chaos meets stillness, isolation meets connection—an ode to life in the city.

Hylonis is a Tokyo-based ambient techno artist.
Their music draws on the visionary spirit of 90s pioneers like Aphex Twin and The Orb—a sense of future only electronic sound can convey.

Hylonis does not create ambient music for relaxation or healing.
Instead, their work is rooted in the philosophy of techno, with a clear focus on ambient techno rather than ambient music.
