Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from the krautrock-adjacent sounds of his debut, the multi-instrumentalist crafted a pioneering work of pure, spiritually inclined ambient music. Blending acoustic instrumentation like sitars and flutes with gentle electronic drones and ocean recordings, the compositions are designed specifically to induce deep meditative states. It is a tranquil, groundbreaking touchstone for the nascent European New Age movement.
