Hjalti

For the past two years, Seattle-based musician Timm Blakley (aka Hjalti) has been creating music that creeps around the edges of many genres, but doesn’t fit comfortably into any of their confines. How can you categorize music that combines the subtle harmonies and tones of ambient music with the shattered complexity of IDM, and then layers it all on top of rhythms that build to the climactic intensity of industrial and black metal? How do you reconcile the cerebral glitch techniques that are used to create this music, with the raw emotional catharsis revealed in the end results? Then again, worrying about techniques and categories is beside the point when you can just listen, and let this dark and distinctive musical vision speak for itself.

Discography

If Once We Lose This Light

The third full-length album from Hjalti is finally here, and it’s a monster. Chords stretch and drag, pulled like tides reacting to some distant mass, while thundering drums press in from all around…

And Will You Leave Me Thus? Say No. Say No. Say No.

rom deep, deep bass, welling up from nothingness, to the harsh metallic screams that herald some vague apocalypse, this new Hjalti album is a journey of extremes…

Perestroika

Hjalti & Miniature Airlines drop two new tracks, then remix the shit out of each other.

Winter Asks What We Did In The Summer

Finally an answer to what Hjalti did in the winter!

Some Summers Don’t Need Answers

This EP is a sneak peak at the new album “Winter Asks What We Did in the Summer”.

Silence, like when a midnight forest goes quiet, often denotes a brooding dark presence. Thus the seeming lethargy from Hjalti has been masking a flurry of activity at d.iscontent studios.
