Description:
Step into the ancient world of the Samurai, a culture devoted in their pursuit of balance of mind, body, spirit, and perfection.
The music is performed on many authentic instruments such as Taiko drums and Shaku flutes which gives the CD a unique Japanese atmosphere, which is both Zen like and soul stirring.
Biography:
Oshari composes his music by immersing himself in the myths, ancient traditions, artefacts and instruments of a culture and letting his inspiration flow out of this experience. His music has the power to transport you into the soundscape of these other cultures, connecting you to the power and the beauty of these different worlds in ways that are exciting, effortless, and hugely enjoyable. He does this by interweaving atmospheric soundscapes with deep, stirring textures and grounding melodies and uses ethnic instruments and rhythms.
He treats his music as a way of taking the listener on a journey that evokes different emotions and reactions to the source of inspiration in a particular culture. A process that allows him to build bridges between our contemporary world and the world’s ancient cultures and mysteries. His music lets you explore other worlds and connects you to other places and other ways of being.
Oshari is inspired both by his studio based in the heart of the UK's beautiful Lake District and the music of Vangelis, Jean Michelle Jarre, and Medwyn Goodall. His interests include travelling, collecting musical instruments from around the world, exploring mystical sites, and great film music.
