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 Carpe Omnium. 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.
