Psychogeography - Impressions [AKR008]

Psychogeography is an examination of urban environments, exploring the interplay between the physical organization of space and the (un)conscious organization of individuals' emotions and behavior. It seeks to overcome the banalizing process in which our everyday experience becomes one of drab monotony.

This Psychogeography project is composed of two EPs. The first, Impressions (this one), is the 'geography' aspect (encompassing cities that have impacted me - London, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Ho Chi Min City, Kathmandu, Dhaka, and Madrid). The next, Expressions, will represent my interaction as an individual in those cities.

Collaborators on board include:
Djanan Turan (vocals and co-writer, Save), Sohini Alam (vocals and co-writer, Dhaka Exhales), Tom Brewins (co-writer, Bruised Beauty) and Kreangkrai Sangtong (EP artwork)
