about

Two electronic music composers with totally different styles and backgrounds wanted to create a common sound journey for the album Ashta.

Ashta means eight in Sanskrit, the sacred language of India. The album is composed of eight valleys to be crossed, associated with fine stones.

Seven moments of a journey towards an eighth, the accomplishment, or enlightenment. It is the staggering progression found in all traditions that have been the common thread of this project
.
We asked a very talented painter to create a dynamic artistic universe to support the music.

The theme of Ashta is based on an ancient Iranian mystical poem.
