Search - David Parsons :: Akash

David Parsons writes: Akash in Sanskrit means sky or æther (ether) and all that that embraces. For instance Akash Ganga (Ganges) can mean the Milky Way (sky river). It is also the name of India's medium-range surface-to-air missile defence system and Akashwani is the local name of All India Radio. In keeping with the original meaning of the word, I have endeavoured to evoke an expansive sky-like atmosphere in all of the tracks. As with my previous albums, Earthlight (13231-2) and Jyoti (13296-2), I continue to concentrate more on pure synthesis than on any type of sampled sound, and so this album continues my quest for surrealism or off-worldliness rather than anything too graphic. I have also used only sound programmed by me, using just oscillators and filters to create every sonic landscape.
