'wave', is a theory that attempts to demonstrate a morphogenetic effect of sound waves). Cyma makes experimentation his trademark; with a wide background in cultural music that goes from contemporary jazz to choral music and with particular care to sound design, Cyma’s poetics is to constantly search for interesting sounds, outside the borders, in a fluidity of genres. His style combines abstract electronic music with shifting, amorphous textures, with deep, ethereal ambient atmospheres and complex and intertwined rhythms and poly-rythms.
