Once started as an experimental side project, has now decided to take life of its own.
One man fronted band combines tones and textures, creating soundscapes at unearthly volumes, redefining "Minimalist" music to a whole new definition. With 2 + years and counting, Peter Smiloff has taken the meaning of "solo project" one step further, relying only on himself to write, record and even perform everything live by himself, through countless effects & self memory, WITHOUT resorting to use or strictly limited use of prerecorded devices. Creating the most of what minimal resources he has, he sets atmosphere to music, that will guide you into areas of inner and outer body experiences through beautiful instrumentals. Taking it another step further, he relys only on himself with live performances, playing and looping live tunes on the spot, making him truly a "one man" band. Blending the growth of rhythm & melodies, Peter Smiloff takes, his solo project to stage and turns it into a self destructive act of art & volume. With influences such as Godflesh, Swans, KK Null, and others, HYMS sets the tone backgrounds for the most devastating music you'll ever hear.
