Born out of soundbytes and samples Adham recorded on his travels throughout India, this timeless classic is the second release from
Interchill's global ambient Spectrum Series.
Originally released by Instinct Records in 1996, Journey to the Sun reflects upon Adham's meanderings through, and impressions of, an ancient
civilization on the brink of modernization. As a fusion of Western technology with Eastern tribal mysticism, the music weaves together a rich tapestry of
electronic textures with tanpur, bansuri flute, harmonium, sitar, and tabla. Layered with a number of field recordings made on a DAT recorder, each track on
this album is itself a journey into aural vistas and mysterious terrains.
