The work emerges from a lifelong relationship to music — one shaped as much by structure, theory, and composition as by emotion, rhythm, and movement. Early foundations in classical and theatrical forms continue to inform how each set is built: with attention to pacing, emotional arc, and the gradual accumulation of atmosphere.

Rather than emphasizing moments of spectacle, CYNIKAS is concerned with continuity — how sound unfolds over time, how restraint creates tension, and how meaning emerges through duration. Each set is shaped as a journey, designed to hold space and invite presence, whether experienced live or through headphones.

Drawing from a wide range of musical languages while resisting fixed categorization, the project favors flow over formula. Recorded mixes, original compositions, and live performances all extend the same philosophy: music as an environment to be entered and shared, rather than content to be consumed or pushed to the background.

Live performances are adapted to their surroundings, responding to space, time of day, and collective energy. CYNIKAS exists as an ongoing practice — concerned less with arrival than with what happens in between.

Based in New York.

New long-form mixes and original works are released regularly.
