Lyrically inspired by dreams, isolation and death, Aythis aims to be timeless and isolated from human nature.
Aythis' harmonies are created by the alchemy of depressive keyboard atmospheres, haunting and hypnotic melodies, ethereal voice and dark orchestral drums.
In July 2007, Aythis catches the interest of the english label Paradigms Recordings that releases Aythis' debut album Doppelgänger in November 2007.
After the success of DOPPELGÄNGER, Aythis gets in contact with the well-known french label Prikosnovénie that releases the second album Glacia in March 2009, a work that turns out to be more orchestral. GLACIA paints a picture of wintry, icy and desolated landscapes and receives very positive feedbacks from the press and the listeners.
One year later, the composition of the third album begins. Aythis signs with Twilight Records to release the follow-up for GLACIA, called The New Earth. This third album melt many influences and results in an unique blend of ethereal, neoclassical, neofolk rythmed by bombastic drums. THE NEW EARTH is was released in June 2011.
In 2016 fourth album " The Illusion And The Twin" was released by Carline's Label: Orcynia Music Productions .
AYTHIS is back in 2021 with a new album SECRETS FROM BELOW, taking the listener to hidden places, underneath the surface of the earth and into desolated forest, the above, the below. Sonically, the guitars are more present, giving at time a shoegaze/post-rock feeling and a melancholy that would appeal to any fan of dark ethereal music.
The immersive keyboards and dreamy piano melodies are not left out, adding to the overall atmosphere, and to the neo-classical/ambient touch that has always been part of AYTHIS' sound.
Also two videoclips are made, (Ashes and Secrets) both available on Aythis Instagram and Youtube profiles.

Silver Rope
Aythis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I starred all night
It felt like a thousand years
Another star
Spinning away
A virgin sky
Just me and fire
giving me some warmth
Distant lights
mesmerize my senses
The lifeless below
Is all that matters now
Dark Blue
Shapes
Is all that remains
The lyrics of Aythis's song Silver Rope are thought-provoking and reflective, touching on the themes of the vastness of the universe and the beauty of solitude. The opening lines describe the experience of watching the stars at night, with the singer feeling as though they had been gazing up for a thousand years. The use of the word 'starred' suggests that the singer is actively staring at the stars, rather than simply glancing at them, which emphasizes the intensity of the experience. The subsequent line about another star spinning away reinforces the sense of vastness and distance implied by the opening line. The image of a virgin sky creates a sense of purity and untouched beauty, and the use of fire as a source of warmth is a reminder of the contrast between the cold vastness of the universe and the small warmth of human experience.
The second stanza shifts focus slightly, as the singer becomes hypnotized by distant lights and the emptiness of the world below. The use of the word 'lifeless' suggests a sense of loss or melancholy, but the line 'is all that matters now' implies acceptance of this emptiness. The repetition of 'dark blue' creates a sense of stillness and calm, and the reference to 'shapes' suggests that even in emptiness, there is still form and structure.
Overall, the lyrics of Silver Rope conjure up a sense of both awe at the beauty of the universe and acceptance of the smallness of human existence.

These lights
Distant lights that appear far away in the sky
I starred all night
I looked at these lights for a long time during the night
It felt like a thousand years
The experience of looking at the lights seemed to go on forever
Another star
A new light appeared in the sky
Spinning away
The new light was moving away from my gaze
A virgin sky
The sky was clear, pure, and untouched
Just me and fire
In this vast, empty space, I had only myself and a small source of warmth
giving me some warmth
The fire was providing me with a sense of comfort and protection
Distant lights
The lights in the sky seemed very far away
mesmerize my senses
The lights captured my attention and held it for a long time
The lifeless below
The ground below me seemed devoid of life and activity
Is all that matters now
My focus is solely on the lights above and not on anything else
Dark Blue
The color of the sky, which appeared very dark
Shapes
The outlines and contours of the objects that I could see
Is all that remains
In this isolated moment, only these visual elements register in my perception
