About Me

I’m Ariel Galdames, also known as Frozenith, a music producer and composer from Chile.

Frozenith is my music project dedicated to bring original music and remixes/arrangements of the videogames that I love, adding my own sound and flavor to extend the original compositions.

Personal life

It all started about in 2008, when my parents gave me a toy musical keyboard, and started to play it everyday.

Eventually, the desire to play it better and make my own music was growing.

I never had any formal training on an instrument, instead I took whatever instrument interested me and started learning on my own.

My first inspirations were the bands Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius and Galneryus. I spent most of the day learning keyboard solos, learning new techniques, and also learning about other instruments. That’s also how I learned to play Guitar, Bass and Drums besides the Keyboard and Piano in the following years.

Having already a great theoretical level on each instrument, I began to create my own songs, thus giving birth to my first project CyberWolf, and I uploaded my songs to MySpace.

One day, I decided to make a name change, one that would better represent who I am and what I want to express with my music, and that’s why Frozenith was born.

After some years of only making music to my own and never release it, I decided to upload one song to Soundcloud and YouTube, starting with that my music career.

Meaning of Frozenith

The artistic name, its philosophy and its roots in Astronomy and Fantasy

The name Frozenith is a mix of the words Frozen and Zenith.

Astronomically, Zenith is the highest point in the sky, and philosophically, is the apogee of a person (the greatest moment of greatness and success for a person, the highest point in the development of something, a climax or culmination).

Therefore, what I want to express in my music is:

“The highest point in your life, the moment of greatest glory … Frozen. It is like being in the highest part of heaven, living your apogee forever.”

The thirteenth hour

In the logo there is a clock that has 13 hours. It’s meaning comes from the Fantasy: Zenith being the “Heaven” and Nadir being the “Hell”:

With this in mind, the full meaning of Frozenith could be:

“The climax of your life, the greatest moment of it … frozen in time, in a world of light or darkness.”

And that’s why my music has many shades from soft ballads to metal, and from beautiful orchestrations to energetic electronic music.

Musical style and influences

• The rock/metal songs have great influences from classic Power Metal bands like Sonata Arctica and Stratovarius, but also from other bands, artists and VGM composers.
• The electronic songs have a very strong Trance and Drum&Bass influence.
• The orchestral songs have various influences from Hiroyuki Sawano, Yasunori Mitsuda and Zelda/Xenoblade games.
