✮ ASURA Live Asura is Charles Farewell, born in 1975. Originally a duo composed of Charles Farewell and Vincent Villuis.Since 1996, the project Asura has polished a personal electronic universe sound, between trance psychedelic, ambient and world music. In 1998, Christopher Maze joins the band and in 2000, the first Asura album, Code Eternity, is released. Made by many influences, their music, built around electronic machines and acoustic instruments, does not remain about it less one personal and considered creation, centered on the perpetual search of infinite spaces and multiple origins. Monotonous melancholic lyrics, symphonic waves, fast and slow rhythms, heavy or throbbing, liturgical songs, the project Asura introduces a certain solemn vision of the world. They have created a very distinctive sound which has contributed to making Asura one of the most recognizable bands of the World Electro and Trance Ambient genre. sInce July 2007, the third Asura album, [ Life² ], was released, followed by [ 360 ] in october 2010 and [ Radio Universe ] late 2014. The artist is currently working on an immersive live show ✮ POORDREAM Live John Valasis is a professional sound designer and a very talented young musician from Greece. Although he has been working as a producer and a mixing engineer for other artists for quite a few years while also composing his own music, this is the first time that John officially releases a part of his recent work under the moniker “Poordream”. His aim is to decode the secret messages of a dreamy world by composing melancholic melodies and intricate, uncanny sounds, all put together within a masterly combination of elaborate programming and field recordings. Immaterial Monarch is his own adaptation of a truly exceptional experimental music conception, the absolute experience of an internal trip, in which no ‘strict’ sound forms belong. Drawing influences mainly from the “Zeitgeist” movie series, “Immaterial Monarch” features 3 tracks by Poordream, which carefully blend genres such as IDM, ambient, electronica and experimental world music, as well as the same-titled track remixed by no less than 7 different artists! Since all participating musicians come from a different musical background, although they share common thoughts on how to deliver passionate and exciting music, this album proves to be an absolutely unique journey towards human’s deepest feelings. Anger, despair, social and personal breakdown, man’s self-exploration, brain as the slave of the strong and socially constructed loneliness portrayed as the mental cage for every single human are only a few of those nighttime thoughts that, carefully but still chaotic, build up Poordream’s futuristic world. This album is offered as a co-release between 33 Recordings and Spectraliquid labels. www.johnvalasis.com ✮ BABAG My Name is George Rafailis.
