Travelling through the multiverse of psychedelic bass music, Chris Komus’s self-titled project is sculpted from the sounds of psy-bass, experimental bass, and psybient. Dubby vibes and laser-edited basslines are intertwined with dark atmospheric textures, orchestral elements and hints of space-rock and blues. Each track is built like a story, conjuring up visuals of future worlds out in the vastness of space or in the depths of the jungle, while always remaining dialed into the low-end frequencies.

With a slow and steady release schedule, releases include three EPs with Shanti Planti including “Wheezing Corporeal Shell” (nominated for best psybass release of 2018 on /r/psybient), “Sickly Fingers” and “The Lioness” (named one of 25 Stand-Out Psychedelic Bass Releases Of 2015 on LostinSound.org), plus tracks on various compilations such as Shanti Planti’s “Rhythm Code” series and “Drift Theory”, and Street Ritual’s “Global Glitch”. Chris Komus has prior releases on labels such as Adapted Records and Enig’Matik Records, and also contributed sound design samples on Twisted Tool’s plugin “Ultraloop”.

Chris Komus has had the honour of playing festivals including Boom Utopia (Portugal), Envision Festival (Costa Rica), Infrasound Festival (US), Shambhala Music Festival (Can), Burning Man (US), Motion Notion (Can) and more, as well as performances in Canada, US, Australia and Costa Rica.
