about
You awoke.
You were there, among the luminous beings. You did not know how you had arrived, or what language they were speaking, but you understood they meant no harm and they wished to sing you a story.
It was important.
Their words, somehow familiar, shimmered on the verge of meaning. And as their iridescent music enfolded you, you knew they longed for you to understand.
Then it was over, and you awoke, and you were back.
This is what you remember.

Created by a conservatory-trained classical composer turned electronica producer, Akara's mystical dancefloor symphonies are songs of the luminous extradimensional beings, sung across the veil of reality.
