Hilyard is a multi genre music artist/sound designer with a heavy focus on creating immersive and often long form dronescapes. A bit of a nomad, Hilyard has lived in many places both rural and urban but now resides in the quiet fog soaked forests of Maine on a family homestead. He didn’t start out as an ambient artist; in fact he played in a few death metal/grind bands and started producing beats at an earlier age. His interest in ambient music stemmed from a need to escape a tragic reality where the deaths of close friends and family couldn’t be counted on both hands and feet. The meditative ambient genre was a natural evolution of both personal music taste and need. Music was always the healthy way out and a vehicle to move forward and possibly help others who may be dealing with harsh realities of their own.
Hilyards take on Milvian Bridge is solemn, meditative and hints to ritual ambient with its chanting and undulating pulses of sound.

Truly great Space Ambient is truly difficult to create, and Sphare Sechs easily rank among the best of the best. This type of music can only too easily become monotonous, boring and even headache inducing, if done wrong. If done right, and Sphare Sechs are really in top form with 'Particle Void', then music like this can literally transport us to wherever our psyche might dictate, no how matter how far past the last firmament that might be.

I've heard all of the tracks by Sabled Sun on Cryo Chamber's Youtube channel at least once, but this album is definitely my favorite of the project by far. A wide range of moods and sounds creates a perfect industrial, post-apocalyptic soundscape. Chef's kiss! Plushie Fanatic
