Symphobient > Commentary

In 1990, Fzono's second album “Echoes” was released. This album with an underlying theme of expressing mystic aura of the woods as if peering through a microscope has translunary and visual sound created with analog synthesizers and vintage keyboards over classical orchestration.

This sound was named “Symphobient” (short for Symphonic Ambient. One theory holds that it is a short for Psychic and psychedelic Symphonic-poem Ambient). Also, this is the first album to carry a subtitle “Synthesizer Symphony”.

The term Synthesizer Symphony was created by AQi Fzono, and was used as a subtitle for his solo album series.

In “Ruins” released in 1993, a day of one nameless young hippie was portrayed with day suite-style dreaming music.

In “Cathedral” released in 1995, the transcendental hallucinatory images were portrayed musically by cross-fertilizing the elements of Classical music (mainly Church music and Gregorian chants) and Techno/Psychedelic Trance (Goa Trance) with a touch of Eastern ancient-time music feel.

“Echoes”, “Ruins” and “Cathedral” are called the “Symphobient Trilogy”.

The signature sound of Symphobient is generated by fusing many different types of music including Dark Ambient, House, Space Rock, Psychedelic Trance, Trip Hop, Atmospheric New Age, Music Concrete, Western Classical music, and Eastern ancient-time music, creating the psychedelic visual sensations.

The term Symphobient is more than just an amalgamation of “symphonic” and “ambient”.
