Vetrnætr by Hylonis

“Vetrnætr” is an ambient album inspired by Norse mythology and the silence of winter. The title, meaning “Winter Nights” in Old Norse, evokes snow-covered landscapes, icy winds, and the lingering presence of ancient mysteries, all woven through atmospheric synthesizer soundscapes.

Ethereal drones, shimmering crystalline synth textures, and deep resonant tones conjure the stark beauty and isolation of the Nordic winter. A frozen world where time stands still, whispering echoes of the past and the myths hidden within the long night.

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.
