Album Description

Abhra – Sanskrit word for atmosphere, emptiness… - was originally commissioned by the Centre International des Musiques Nomades and the Festival Détours de Babel in Grenoble, France, in 2014. Abhra was then exploring the diary of Henry David Thoreau, an American philosopher, poet and scholar born in 1817. Thoreau puts nature at the centre of his thought, from what he extracts a moral - praise to the independence, to the simplicity, to the hedonistic asceticism… To be and settle in the world, it is enough to breath, taste, touch, look, listen to the silence, feel, contemplate, observe… An album was released in 2016 on both labels Onze Heures Onze and Auand.
