Arkia - Bloom (Air Sculptures Vol.1)

Arkia Jahani returns to his first-name project, and starts 2025 with "Bloom (Air Sculptures Vol.1)", a 30-minute sound sculpture that effortlessly flows between the airy ambient, lo-fi synth and cinematic drone crates. Smooth tones from the outerworld. Support and buy here.

Arkia - Physical Prayers

New meditative LP from Arkia dropped on Bandcamp last week, but due to my holidays I wasn't able to properly cover it. Created through improvisational sessions on various synthesizers, "Physical Prayers" feels like a cosmic muzak for the Milky Way explorations. Since Arkia recorded those synth sessions on tape, they have this beautiful, lo-fi hiss that gives them character and depth. Check out "Physical Prayers VI" for example, just lush.

Arkia - A Life Devoted To The Pursuit Of Beauty

Arkia Jahani is back, this time with an album written and released under his first name. "A Life Devoted To The Pursuit Of Beauty" is a collection of nine tracks that follow a seamless and engrossing narrative using synths, processed vocals and electronics. From fuzzy ambience layered with angelic choir on "Hidden Meanings" Arkia transitions through lo-fi dungeon synth to contemporary classical piano pieces, always with calming tranquility and attention to detail. Wonderful testament to his ever-growing talent.

The album is available for purchase on bandcamp here, and can be also streamed below.
