"Poetic analogy of deep sea creatures, a remembrance in mystery"

As I glide through the juices of the ocean, translucent memories move my skins covered by hypnosis.
Resilient sounds touch the depths of the water.
Like jellyfish we are, morphing biogenetic shapes gliding the wave, our blood the beat. 
Enchanted by the echoes which rely in profound secrecy. 
Transforming into sensibility of jellyfish, creatures of deep sea.

Memories of the past appear near me.

When I was a jellyfish I was everywhere, 
I was feeling the very small fish moved by the dances of sands, 
from far far away atmospheric reflections were singing to me.
I was sound, smell, lucid, light, body, touch.
I was ocean seen as my limbs,
my shape almost unseen.

I was the reflection of the ancient luminaries, 
gassers, quasars
and supernovas, 
still palpable in the sky, 
but already long gone in space…

A ritual of dance; eternal metempsychosis.
From blue ocean stars in veils of coral leaves,
to shinning radiolarians, molecular expressions full of lustrous life, 
frail and delicate,

stories of twinkles in the night sky, the glooms of the ocean,
crystalline and fine….

All were born and shall die in the same vessel of time.

Like the Ocean, the scapes we live in exist in many ways; a journey through dark into light; 
and so, this set represents the depth, the earth, the water, the path, and the devotion to exist in time. 
Let it be your voyage ❤︎

It was such a pleasure to create this musical journey as it is a compilation of my most favourite pieces, and they really make me vibrate!
I hope it will have the same effect on you.

Thank you to all the artists for your inspiring sounds.

Starting 2023 with the right foot, we are in no rush but definitely happy that our first release of the year is this amazing set by our dear friend Akra Ondo.

It has been a pleasure to see how Silvana has been growing and developing her musical journey through the passing of the years, and it only feels right that she finally joins our LOKD family by releasing our next mixtape.

Steady rhythms, evolving synthscapes, resonating bass, morphed leads, hypnotic and absorbing are a definition of this journey of biologic nature.

Behind LOKD Doors 28 - Akra Ondo

Welcome to the first episode of "❍ Starscapes," a planetary mix series where we embark on a journey through the galaxies exploring the enigmatic worlds, radiant stars, planets and celestial tapestries that inhabit our universe - through the ethereal layers of ambient, meditative & drone sounds and emotions.

Episode number 1 is dedicated to the crystalline waters of Mintaka (Delta Orionis δ Orionis), a multiple star system located 1,200 light-years from our Sun. Together with the two other stars, Alnitak and Alnilam, they form the illustrious trinity known as Orion's Belt.
In Egyptian mythology the stars of Orion's Belt hold profound symbolism, intertwined with themes of rebirth and resurrection. Legend is that Osiris, the revered deity of the afterlife and rebirth, found his eternal repose within the celestial bounds of Orion's Belt.

According to the wisdom of the Egyptians, the gods themselves descended from the realm of Orion's Belt and Sirius. It was believed that the divine beings took form as humans - Osiris and Isis, from whom the rest of human civilisation unfurled. Ancient writings bear testament to the inseparable bond between Orion and Osiris, fusing the two into cosmic kin.

“Somewhere in the vast universe there exists a place, 
a realm where sounds give birth to shapes, 
weaving liquid melodies and voices, 
⏚ singing through the Whales.

A dream from a past long beyond,
transcending the constraints of time and space. 

A planet painted by lucid seas and boundless oceans, 
crystallised & weightlessly fine,
It’s landscape still resonating through the fabrics of time...

...and gazing into the fathomless depths of this eternal dream, we stand enraptured, 
transfixed by its endless wonder..."
