Resplendent Chromaticity, Incandescent Bioluminescence and Kaleidoscopic Geometry is a solo ambient breakbeat project from Kit Carruthers. It is ethereal psychedelic graffiti art with flowers. The instruments used are a synthesizer, a piano, two violins, a cello, a viola, a harp, a xylophone, a celesta and a bamboo flute. The albums that have influenced this project are Boards of Canada's "Geogaddi," Murcof's "Remembranza," Gas' "Zauberberg," Aphex Twin's "Selected Ambient Works 85-92," Jetone's "Ultramarin," Biosphere's "Microgravity," The Sight Below's "Glider," Deaf Center's "Neon City EP," Biosphere's "Shenzhou," Deaf Center's "Pale Ravine," Harold Budd's "Lovely Thunder," World's End Girlfriend's "Hurtbreak Wonderland," Actress' "Karma & Desire," DJ Krush's "Jaku," Casino Versus Japan's "Whole Numbers Play the Basics," Eluvium's "Talk Amongst The Trees," Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians," Jóhann Jóhannsson's "Englabörn," Max Richter's "The Blue Notebooks," Carbon Based Lifeform's "World of Sleepers," Connect.Ohm's "9980," Aes Dana's "Season 5," Solar Fields' "Reflective Frequencies," Kashiwa Daisuke's "Program Music I," Venetian Snares' "Rossz Csillag Alatt Született," and 65daysofstatic's "The Destruction of Small Ideas."

This project is relatively palatable but you may need to get ambient first before you really truly get ambient breakbeat. Please don't just think of it as a "beat" as it is ambient before it is a beat. But if you need your music to have rhythm then here fine ambient can have rhythm. This is not as palatable as .//phenethylamine but it is much moreso than Offret.

Chillout is not a sub-genre, philistine. Chillout is a generic blanket term. But this music falls under that generic blanket, this is chillout.

You will never know how psychedelic everything in this natural world truly is until you have taken a psychedelic in this natural world. Psychedelics show you a hell of a lot more than pretty little hallucinations they show you the way in which we are supposed to perceive this remarkable, brilliant, breathtaking natural world. It is actually a lot more vibrant and stunning than you ever would have known.

You will know what you feel but you will not necessarily understand this thing that you know. You will know that what you are looking at is God. All of it is God. Everything is God. You are God observing God.

"Talking to Trees" is an introduction to the project. It is more or less plain and simple (not as refined) Boards of Canada-esque ambient breakbeat ambient techno plus psybient with classical instruments that crescendos to breakcore, it is the baseline for the project. I will be branching out in future albums. In "The Natural World Is Satan" I introduce glitch. These two albums are amateur and done without access to real actual people with real actual classical instruments.

"Not All of the Flowers Will Grow Again" is "The Natural World Is Satan" again with some new instruments. There are some other little differences as well. "Sunshine and Birdsong and Rainbows and Butterflies and Cocaine" is happy feelings. These two albums are amateur and done without access to real actual people with real actual classical instruments.
