Brendan Byrnes’ Hypnadelic is a dazzling, disorienting trip through lush sonic terrain, where impressionist surf jazz guitars collide with steel pans and intricate polyrhythms—all rendered in a microtonal tuning system with 27 notes per octave. The result is hypnotic and otherworldly: familiar in its textures yet eerily alien in its harmonic language. Byrnes masterfully bends perception, crafting an instrumental piece that feels like a lucid dream—trippy, fluid, and unlike anything confined to the Western scale.
