4 years later still goosebumps? The intro hits every time. Lovv

[@MaSSiveH852]

Brutally beautiful, deep, it has become one of the music of my life! Huge respect! ;)

[@henryfred]

Nothing less than the most epic electronic symphony I've EVER heard.

[@DoggosBestFriend]

goosebumps, every fckn time!

[@duskymainyone]

i cant stop hearing this

[@young_dervish]

This version of Bent is so good! the little improvised interlude in the middle gives me chills every time!

[@duncanhutcheson2965]

These guys are sick.

[@bsilver2397]

The last part should be much longer guys! Amazing

[@igors953]

This summer i was on the edge of death. I was injured so hard, that i passed a lot of weeks in a hospital. And I want to say that it was not scarry, it was a little bit sad and irreversible. After a lot of operations I see how our world is beautiful and fragile. Its so hard to feel it when you are healthy. When Im listening this track my soul feels this extremity and fatality of our lives, but in the same moment its so amazing to understand that eternity is waiting for us.

[@Therealmanfred]

yeah :) Enjoy every breath, every movement, every wink, every moment. Life is short and fragile as you said and we should enjoy it and feel it rather than run away, hurt others and shit. We should realize that. That sounds like fuckin Care bears but hey.. isn't it true ? I hope you're good now man :) have a good day, life.

[@Eltiron72]

Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre and a bit of Ministry of Sound. I'm amazed, impressed, and a bit stoned ;) I can see the future of electronic music now, and it's called Kiasmos. Well done, guys.

мелодичный и мощный трек 💥👍 у этих парней мог бы получиться крутой ремикс на Hans Zimmer - Time...

[@detweezotteapen7525]

My name is Bent

[@andreivasile3383]

cool

[@sanandadesormeaux2614]

Holy shiiiiiiit

[@kaelen873]

What type of system is making the bass pulse? Love this track

[@christinafuller8629]

Love this what kind of midi synth is that, that the guy in the white sweat shirt is playing on

[@mooncosm]

Novation bass station 2

[@keithcroissant5640]

I can’t bear twisting knobs and nodding

[@zinowagner]

WHAT genre is this type of music they do cause its freaking amazing

[@Jehudi]

+Zino Wagner It's Kiasmos, the closest you can get is Nils Frahm ;)

[@zinowagner]

Thanks man So this isnt exactly a genre but their type of music?

[@Jehudi]

If you really want to call for a genre I'd say minimal techno toned with classical instruments. But they are pretty on themselves in that genre.

[@Yarende]

you also have Stimming :)

[@paulelderson934]

Jon Hopkins also has a similar style, the album Immunity is in my opinion one his best works to date.

[@kim7gwdchrregramos805]

The short haired dude looks like Olafur Arnalds

[@Flbari]

He is 1/2 of Kiasmos

[@freddybmp]

''Que clase de musica harian sin un software ? Con solo una guitarra, por ejemplo????? NADA

[@hussamoon]

at first I thought this was low effort boring music, boy I was a dumb fuck.

[@maxlee7977]

it is too loud to name this "live performance". live pushing 3 buttons?

[@hubertson93]

Listen to the album version and it'll make more sense.
