AKASHA: Passionate, Relaxing, Inspired!, March 31, 2008
I discovered an exciting new release from international New Age talent, Torben Thoger: AKASHA.
Torben Thoger's latest album AKASHA delivers the many sounds of love - passionate, joyous, wistful, gentle - from his studios in Denmark and Spain straight into every listener's heart. In 2008, it is being released in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Scandinavia.
"Torben's style is influenced by different cultures and styles and he blends classical, world and pop elements into a tapestry of colorful, relaxing and soothing soundscapes. His music moves through various New Age styles and will appeal to many different audiences," says Suzanne Doucet of Only New Age Music.
AKASHA's uplifting blend of audio visions includes lush compositions and exotic live performances, occasionally accented with heavenly vocals. It is an adventure in active listening and musical storytelling for modern New Age fans, incorporating elements of symphonic rock and chill out music throughout the traditional compositions. Although not composed with this in mind, keen listeners might imagine the succession of tracks as a journey of soul mates seeking one another, finding, loving, dancing and, finally, returning to oneness, as AKASHA culminates with a breathtaking IAO chant.
AKASHA, a word which comes from the 5000 year old Sanskrit language, is known (in esoteric circles) as the ethereal non-visible energy, the first of the five elements of which the physical universe is composed (AKASHA, air, fire, water and earth). Every thought, word and deed from each lifetime in our past, along with every event in which we participated, is recorded in the universal memory called the Akashic Record.
The album is composed and produced in both Denmark and Spain, and the participating musicians and choir members come from all over the world. It is international music for a comprehensive audience, as Torben succeeds in mixing genres into a unique musical experience.
If you enjoy music by Yanni, Vangelis, Ottmar Liebert, Steve and David Gordon, Tangerine Dream, David Arkenstone, Manheim Steamroller, Chris Spheeris, Michael Hoppe, Omar or Ray, then you will want to include Torben Thoger's music in your collection.
Torben Thoger's albums AKASHA, The Present and Harmony are available in music stores and online at Amazon.com, CDBaby.com, iTunes and others, in both CD and downloadable formats.
