In the early years of the entity's quest to find God, it was the Soul Merchant who came upon to ponder questions such as, "If all energy contains consciousness, then all energy contains information. Energy would then be data and information which rides a wave. Would it be possible to attach multi-dimensional symbols of healing properties, intent and focus via the Observer onto a track? Will these properties polarise upon observation? Or will it unravel and go back into energy?.. "

Now after journeys afar, Alkahest currently resides in Kuala Lumpur still cooking up self-contained tunes for personal thought-forms; frequency-specific, downtempo for chilled mind-melding moments –– collapsing free energy with free information into life.

To the Observer that sits in the lower cerebellum.

So be it.

'Nuff said.

Psychedelic one man band. Sonic soundscapes, acoustic instruments and electronica.

A native of Brazil, Marco was always surrounded by music. Both his parents played the piano, which was the first instrument, however, he still likes to play keyboards and piano, mainly to capture new ideas for the band.

Marco played with local Brazilian bands Hades warden, Evora and Móbil Gigante.
