At the edge of time Acting in sequence The future now Comes into being Erase the tracks Cutting the linkage A brand new world A new commitment Though the present slips Right through our hands Though the past is lost We have no regrets Beyond the sun Outside the window Within the cell The seeds of wisdom At the edge of time Across and beyond I was your age I was your age Though the present slips Right through our hands Though the present slips Right through our hands Though the present slips Right through our hands Walking on a path That leads nowhere At the edge of time Acting in sequence The future now Comes into being Erase the tracks Cutting the linkage A brand new world A new commitment

Order outside Crossing white fields dressed in red Older inside Stepping outside my own skin We stay invisible Behind the wall they all rest Circles reversible We try, we fail Order inside A quiet garden within the desert Older outside A line of blood leads to the edge We stay invisible Inside this absolute space Struggling so hard in vain We try, we fail

Close your eyes to see Your fears now taking form Close your eyes to see Those shadows standing tall I never realised (The distance between us) One step closer to the line (And then retreat back again) We try, we fail We try to fail a... We try, we fail We try to fail again

I’m trying to make it right But I’ve lost the strength To go great lengths Locked in this cage Where we struggle and try My only regret is my whole life

about

With its textured and semi-improvised atmospheres, frantic rhythmic patterns and meticulously detailed low-end sounds, Hyter’s ‘Unmanned World’ foreshadows a speculative territory built upon concrete images of not yet actualised possibilities. Like a declaration of intent, ‘Xenia’ - the EP opening track - is expressive of a commitment to open up the material and cultural boundaries encapsulating our self-contained individuality.

The ‘Unmanned World’ is imagined as an epiphanic condition achieved by accessing a whole new plane of existence that configures itself across and beyond the human scale, in-between the cosmic and inframolecular order. All in all, Hyter’s EP stands out for its eclectic elegance, ever-evolving complexity and lyrical intensity, which reaches its climax in the final, self-condemning verses of ‘Output (Whole Earth Garden)’: <<locked in this cage where we struggle and try / my only regret is my whole life>>.

In the unmanned world there is no place for the human as we used to conceive of it, nor is any centrality reserved for it anymore. Ultimately, Hyter’s work is an invitation to rethink our earthbound existence, acknowledging that our innermost self does not entirely lay within us.
