The HIGHSAILS Collective

  • DYL

    Captain and Founder of the HIGHSAILS Collective.

    Dylin is an artist, producer, recording engineer, and curator from Minnesota. He loves making concept albums and worldbuilding, creating extensive lore surrounding his work. 

    Through a fusion of indie-folk, electronica, film score, and ambient music among other influences - DYL creates new sonic worlds for you to sink into. He places particular focus on atmosphere, lyrical surrealism, as well as narrative themes of identity, mental health, nostalgia, and hope. 

  • Saudade / LENNOX

    Zach has a passion for experimentation and a fearless approach to creativity. He draws from a multitude of genres and influences, and his sound is an eclectic tapestry of sonic innovation.

    He believes music is about more than just pushing boundaries — it's about authenticity and the power of genuine expression. Through his artistry, he seeks to inspire fellow musicians to stay true to themselves, embrace their unique voice, and to never compromise their vision for the sake of conformity.

  • R.I.P.

    Nick (R.I.P.) has been making music for 4 years and started producing in early 2023. His goal with his art is to tastefully fuse as many genres as possible. He started making hip-hop and found out quickly that it's not what he was supposed to put out into the world. Although he does include aspects of hip-hop in his current music - it isn't in the forefront anymore but more of an extension of what he tries to portray. His main focus is to bring a new direction to songs and structures that haven't been heard before.

    ARE YOU THERE?

  • This Is Sky

    An abundant void

    becomes itself beautiful

    something from nothing

    say less, speak more.

    It was always there

    a life of color,

    waiting to be discovered

    say less, speak more.

    Thought and sound combine

    a moment of clarity

    something from nothing.

    This Is Sky is an electronic and ambient musician based in Springfield, MA.

  • Atelier

    Atelier is an alt-rock/metal solo project hailing from Fort Worth, Texas, and was established in 2019. The project's first single was released in June 2024, marking a significant milestone after years of dedication to music production.

    In 2020, Atelier began learning guitar on his own, seeking a new way to express his creativity. His journey led him to discover the online DAW Audiotool, where he delved into the world of analog and modular synthesizers. Despite limited resources, he honed his skills to craft the sound he envisioned.

    Atelier's music combines soft, ambient guitar layers with rich, expansive soundscapes, creating a unique and immersive auditory experience.

  • blood burgundy

    hi, my name is Carlo but I make music under the name blood burgundy. i’m from New York City and play guitar, bass, and can kind of make my way around a keyboard.

    if i had to describe my music, i’d say it’s a mix of sounds like r&b, alternative rock, and electronica, but i’m truly inspired by all sorts of music. i just released my debut album “inertia” earlier in 2024 and would appreciate a listen if you can!
