THYX
THYX is an electronic music project created by mind.in.a.box front man, Stefan Poiss.[1] The musical act was created in 2012 and has released four full-length albums. Many of the THYX tracks have a complimentary, but not identical sound to Poiss's other main project; mind.in.a.box.[2]
The sound of THYX has been described as having a crisp, entrancing, nostalgic, and distinct musical flavor.[3] crossing the musical genres of Electronic, Progressive, Experimental, Industrial, and Electro[4][5]. Poiss has been noted as using modulated vocals and synthesized instruments in composition.[6]
THYX is self-described as "The wave between sound and resonance." Much in the same manner as mind.in.a.box, the music is heavily influenced by futurist elements and cyberpunk concepts.[7] [8] THYX often follows in the footsteps of mind.in.a.box regarding melody and form, but distinctly differs in several key avenues such as including a greater influence of musical genre sounds, and more diverse lyrical content. THYX also differs by omitting a reoccurring narrative from the discography, unlike that which appears across most of the mind.in.a.box albums. [9]

History
THYX was formed in 2012, although project creator Stefan Poiss has indicated that the foundation for THYX was laid around 2000 with the creation of a song entitled "THYX." The song title was an acronym for a particular musical state. Poiss has stated that the THYX music project is about rediscovering this specific, elusive musical state that he found during musical experimentation. [14]
THYX has been described as having taken influences from where other artists in alternative electronic music left off in the 1990s, and thus is distinctly experimental.[15]
