Stepping Into the Abyss
Edmonton Alberta Canada - Performance art group Pocket Universe launches “Into the Abyss”; an atmospheric scene music CD for the sensualist which is rapidly gaining international interest.
Into the Abyss
Pocket Universe (Indie- Fyrewind Productions Inc.)
Music has always caressed our soul, affected our moods and contributed to our libido – or lack thereof. It’s a proven “fact”; we all perform experiments on ourselves and our environment using music. We plan a sexy, romantic evening and we put a tremendous amount of thought into the music to go with the mood we are trying to create. Entire compilations of century’s old classical music have been created just for the “romance” consumer. What if you want to inspire a sexually charged atmosphere ….and classical music makes you think of elevators ….and you have heard the soulful ballads or moving compositions of popular music selections one too many times? What if you want something that insinuates a bit *more*, that hints at lusty desires but yet doesn’t blast it in your face and interrupt the mood? Then what do you do?
If you’re Mykel and Moonfyre of Pocket Universe, you create the music to fit the desired atmosphere. You venture out from your “adult contemporary” projects to create a “side project”. You look at the need for music that is timed perfectly for physically intimate interactions; that can be used to fill in the background without interfering in the fore-ground. You investigate the environment people strive to create in intimate interactions; what works and what doesn’t. Then you plunge in head over heels and release your second “Indie” album; which you appropriately title “Into the Abyss”.
Through the creation of environment, management of mood and subsequent interactions, you create a “scene” in which you and your partner (or partners?!) are the stars, the directors and audience. Composed for the sensualist “Into the Abyss” was deliberately fashioned to add dimensions to the ultimate scene. It weaves a magical and sensual atmosphere around you, to help you attain that wonderful desired head-space and ride it to its fullest. Thick with sensuality, it accompanies you to the edge, waiting for you to step into the abyss of your desires, your imagination.
Pocket Universe has managed to create music to plug one’s soul into; It draws you in when you are actively listening and graciously disappears in to the background creating a lush, sultry sound environment for you to use as the aural backdrop to your scene. Its pulse and mood, spiced with a hint of dark seduction, is irresistibly attractive. The CD features 62 minutes of music - composed of ambient, sensually charged instrumental pieces and one selection of spoken word over music. Sensational musical art “Into the Abyss” has the ability to take the listener into 'space' all by itself, without demanding control over the destination.
“Into the Abyss” is appealing to a much wider range of audience then Mykel and Moonfyre anticipated when they created it. Touching listeners world-wide, its appeal stretches across generations, lifestyles and genre preferences. With this outstanding piece of musical mastery; Pocket Universe lives up to its tag line of “From beyond the Abyss into this, our now, we welcome you into our Pocket Universe”

Some Reviews:
I have listened to this CD several times and every time I listen to it I hear something new. it appeals to the senses in different ways along with the particular mood at the time. Definitely not your mainstream music as it takes one much higher without all the formula that we get to listen to on the radio. Moonfyre adds her sexy and wise voice to the song Surrender that calms the nerves with all the music and jazzy guitar sounds. there is no real category for this music as it rises above to a sensuous sounding CD. Each song has it's own flavor and that makes it an investment that you can enjoy for a very long time. Mykel does the music (his) talents are obvious from the first time you listen. .... Dennis Cambly, Times10- Your Magazine of Choice - Edmonton
"I close my eyes and lay back as the music starts to play. Where will it take me this time? What will I hear? Feel? The music flows over me. Dark, haunting, seductive, I let myself sink into space. My mood lends itself strongly to how the music affects me and what I hear. It is strong yet soft and haunting, I find my body moving, swaying. My favorite piece on the CD is "Surrender": the softly spoken words touch me in a way that is so hard to put into words. I can only say that I look forward to my next journey."

"Into the Abyss conjures a rich landscape of ethereal music for play and meditation. From the Dead-Can-Dance like trance of the opening track "Genghis", to the vibrant chase-like "Pulsate", the album charts a seductive journey through different musical styles and mind states, allowing the listener to experience the full 'embracing sensation' of dominance and submission. The tracks are carefully textured between rhythm, melody and beat, suggesting an interplay of emotions that conclude in the beautiful flow of water in the last track, "Mine". This final sense of possession carries a potent sadness as well as joy, evoking the strange release that freedom brings after the thrill of intimate pain and pleasure. The album includes one spoken word track, Surrender, in which the siren-like voice of Moonfyre leaves soft 'in prints' of poetry in the dreamscape of sound. It's hard not to listen without feeling the passion and adventure that moving beyond boundaries is meant to be all about. Into the Abyss has the treasure of depth worth diving into . . ." C. Cain of Vessel "First Mistress" - England
