Atlantis began life in the winter of 2005 as an instrumental electronic and rock solo project by Gilson C. Heitinga. The tracks started life in the studio for an instrumental film score in his head that tells a story of a dark journey through loss and decay. These songs are layers of heavy guitars, synths and samples and they form the backdrop of the new "Carpe Omnium" CD released on Field Records. The music straddles a wide range of musical genres and modes, while retaining a characteristically intense sound through instruments and a heavy use of electronics and electronic processing taking influences from bands like Massive Attack, Nine Inch Nails, Neurosis, Portishead, SWANS, Clint Mansell. Gilson has now recruited Samir Bourgadha (guitar), Sander Bolk (electronics), Carlo Leijtens (drums) and Gido Leijtens (guitar) for the first Atlantis live show at the prestigious Dutch 2007 ZXZW-Festival with more live dates to follow soon. The release date is set for 5TH Nov so just just sit back and enjoy the ride
