Ishq - Fluid earth

When we released 'Orchid' as an album on Interchill records it was also released as a 2 cd limited edition on Dakini records in Japan and throughout asia.Many people are unaware of the 2nd cd or this version of Orchid and so we are making the 2nd cd from the Dakini release available on a seperate cd of its own as an album called ' Fluid Earth ' which was to be its name originally when we wrote the tracks.

Vr04 - Emerald

Released today is 'Emerald ' by Elve another alter ego of Ishq.

This is the 4th release in the Virtualworld series and follows on from the first Elve album as a continous ambient soundscape which could be said to have a more tropical feel than the last Elve album.If the first album ' Infinite garden' was set in the english countryside then this one is set in some far distant tropical rainforest or to that effect.

As with all the Virtualworld series of releases the album was written with immersive headphone listeners in mind and sounds best on high definition headphones or hifi systems .It probably not best to describe this as ambient chill as the idea is to create moments of slight intensity aswell as moments of release in these works and so expect a ride .Its invocative music really and also more about painting a landscape with sound and stimulating the senses aswell as chilling them.

New web address and 2010 news .

Hi folks

just a quick update to say firstly due to some web provider ' issues ' we now have switched for a while to

www.v-i-r-t-u-a-l-w-o-r-l-d.net

You can also find theVirtual site via the Ishq site at

www.ishq.org

which remains the same.

On the music front we have now being mastered a full length album as Ishq of mellow melodic music and full of eastern promise which is to be released by electronic soundscapes very very soon and called 'Sama ' .The music has left the studio which means its close to release......

www.electronicsoundscapes.com

On the virtual front we are close again to releasing , we had to put pack some albums due to the whole meltdown and economics of things and us feeling they needed more work and also suit the winter months more as releases but its all positive and were about 1 week away now from sending off a new Elve album for pressing of lush green soundscapes which has come out of the blue and is beautifully organic and emerald like and we also have the first Virtual forms release ready to press .We have a huge backlog of other material now also close to mastering and so releasing its now the main focus.

For now thats it but expect the unexpected and sorry were so sporadic with new music releases .Theres a new wave of both Virtual and Ishq music on the way.

best wishes from us - +

2009

happy 2009 to everyone and many thanks for the support and expect some new music and forms and soundscapes in 2009

The first release on our Virtual space series is due back any day from pressing.

This album was written about 1 month before Orchid was completed and originally ' found its way ' onto the web as a rough and ready demo version in mp3. Since then we had a few people ask us to release it as a finished version and on audio cd with artwork and so here it is.We have reworked and now finished this album fully and added new layers and mastered the original recording .The result is a beautifully deep and nebula ambient work and journey into a cosmos of monolithic shapes and space geometry.


A demo collage of the album can be found here
