Akwara, Andreas

Andreas Akwara was born 1965 in Kleve. He started playing Music in his School Band ("A.Cool Gang"), singing and composing. At the same time Andreas developed his Interest in Soundscapes and Electronic Music.
Later on, developing special Interest in Experimental/ Nuclear Physics and Astronomy, the emphasis of his music shifted from a Funk/ Jazz- mixture to a special form of ambient electronic music, which gives Akwara`s music a unique note, not comparable to any other composer.

Andreas Akwara - Solar Eclipse

Artist: Andreas Akwara
P: 2002
On this CD by German electronic musician Andreas Akwara you will find eight pieces of Space Music. The music flows gently, dragging you to the depths of the cosmos. This is perfect late light listening to put on the headphones and just sit and relax after a hard working day.
The album is divided into eight parts called “Solar Eclipse Part I”, “Solar Eclipse Part II” etc. Each track has all classic components of Space Music with some extras. You will find drifting tonalities, atmospheric pads, laid back rhythms and occasional sequences and synth effects. Pretty evocative and calming stuff. Once in a while Andreas uses some unusual and experimental textures that sets this work apart from the majority of Space Music albums.
This is original and interesting music that is sometimes rhythmic, but is generally very relaxing and slow.

Andreas Akwara - Synthetic Horizon

Artist: Andreas Akwara
P: 2005
Andreas Akwara is a brilliant electronic musician. He has created some outstanding cds that combine sequencer e-music and ambient atmospheres. The best of that style – by far – is Synthetic Horizon.
the tracks have no titles. They are ”Parts I – X”. Thus, there are no preconceived notions or expectations. The listers are free to allow the music to dictate the experience. Andreas' soundscapes contain deep atmospheres, dramatic crescendos, heavy sequences, nature samples, symphonic synths and some glitchy dissonance. It is quite a melting pot of sounds and Andreas' sound design skills make it work – seamlessly as a continuous work of art. It usually comes back to style and the need to categorize music. This is not pure ambience. It is not pure sequencer e-music. It is equal parts of both, combined excellently and deftly.
It is an awesome and essential cd!
