Apôa Blanka

"The traveling musical spirit Apôa Blanka is devoted to creating music devoted to the beauty of life."

Apôa Blanka is a fantasy-word music project that I developed during my studies.

 The debut album "Sankôra" is conceptual art piece that conists of:
1. An album of original music
2. A constructed art language
3. An eBook

Inspired by a kaleidoscopic view of devotional worship music from around the world, Sankôra is a concept album that attempts to demonstrate that the urge to draw closer to the creative force of life through music and cathartic musical expression is inherent to being human. 

You can download the eBook, listen to the album, and explore the project by clicking the icons below.

The second album "Sanbriaza" is a  collection of flute pieces inspired by hidden beauty and fleeting every-day emotions, played on Native American Flutes.

Navi in Nature

For the last few years I have been collecting field recordings, on my phone and with my Zoom hand held recorder.

I love capturing the sound of animals, echoing caves, roaring oceans, rustling wind, and running rivers.

Sometimes I "enhance" the recordings by layering them or adding extra sounds, like deep drones, small melodies, or ambient elements.
