Atlantis - Carpe Omnium
Atlantis began life in the winter of 2005 as an instrumental electronic and rock solo project by
Gilson C. Heitinga. The tracks started life in the studio for an instrumental film score in his
head that tells a story of a dark journey through loss and decay. These songs are layers of
heavy guitars, synths and samples and they form the backdrop of the new "Carpe Omnium"
CD released on Field Records. The music straddles a wide range of musical genres and
modes, while retaining a characteristically intense sound through instruments and a heavy
use of electronics and electronic processing taking influences from bands like Massive Attack,
Nine Inch Nails, Neurosis, Portishead, SWANS, Clint Mansell.
Gilson has now recruited Samir Bourgadha (guitar), Sander Bolk (electronics), Carlo Leijtens
(drums) and Gido Leijtens (guitar) for the first Atlantis live show at the prestigious Dutch 2007
ZXZW-Festival with more live dates to follow soon.
The release date was set for 29th October 2007 so just sit back and enjoy the ride!
The band got some excellent reviews in Belgian national papers (De Morgen, Rif Raf), national radio (Classic 21, Studio Brussel) & e-zines (www.soundslike.be, www.digg.be, www.dreun.be), U.K. magazine (Rock sound)
