Unknown Journeys
January 2019
When acoustic instruments meets electronics, with a chillout and shamanic mood.

Second chapter in the Vibrance series, dedicated to handpan music.
A journey from dawn to twilight, from birth to death,
A journey from twilight to dawn, from death to re-birth.
Through sadness, sorrow and fear,
Through joy, hope and faith.
The cycles are linked together and interwoven,
Love remains and supports all.
It was in this journey through the cycles that this second chapter of Vibrance was born.
May it be a good companion in your own cycles, in your own journey.
As a first release, the V/A Moonloop Café Vol.1 gives you a glimpse in the works of Aslak as a chill-out artist with lots of acoustic instruments, as well as two new tracks by the Hang Brothers. We also proudly introduce Souloop which is the live electro project of our DJ Almacalma, his future album being produced by Aslak. There are also here two ambient compositions by chill-out producer Mercury Fall, a dub electro track by Logic Wave with live flute and a beautiful song by Sophie Rampa called « The painting », which is an important part of the Hang Brothers live shows.
…the Game of the Gods…
There are many ways to play this game.
But for me, one of the best way is through music and dance.
So… Wanna join the game ?

This is the first “handpan music” solo album of Julien Aho, also known as “Aslak”.
The majority of the tracks on this album are pure handpan solos with no additional editing.
The instruments used on these are : AsaChan RDT, Meraki Magic Voyage, AsaChan Chandhra, Saraz Kurd9, PanArt Integral Hang.
The main themes that were around me while making this album were : Simplicity, Humility, Self-confidence, Stopping the search for perfection, Accepting the mistakes and errors.
I hope this album will be a perfect companion for meditation, contemplation, sonic journey, or just for a nice ambient atmosphere.
