Welcome to the World of AeTopus.  Composer/Producer Bryan Tewell Hughes has refined a style of Electronic Music that is too fantastic and original to be called “New Age” or “World”, yet too dynamic to be considered pure Ambient or Chillout. Bryan manages to keep his compositions active and instrumentally diverse while maintaining an insightful, mood-generating environment.   In addition, special attention to thematic progression makes his albums much more than song collections: they are subtle, flowing works of sonic art, almost essay-like in fashion and form.
