As explained by the artist, "The title, atma-spheric surfaces, is a play on words. ATMA is a Sanskrit word meaning 'soul', and SPHERIC is used in the sense of 'world' or 'realm'; SURFACES is employed to mean 'textures' or 'planes'. So atma-spheric surfaces would actually mean "Planes and textures of the soul world". If that all sounds too new-agey, fear not... the sounds within are amorphous drones, generally of a rather "light", airy nature
Appropriately spacey, almost-mechanical, drones extend into the rippling core of Aurora; wind synth and soprano sax are melted into a free flowing stream of slowly wavering tones.
Various flute-flavorings (bass, gourd, bamboo overtone, as well as plain) surge through New Infinitude (13:34), extending in smooth synth-likelayers of breathy expansions of differing lengths.
The Locard Principle exemplifies a light-yet-somehow-industrial dronesystem while Lovingly Standing Back is awash in gusty, billowing soundclouds and warm humming radiance.
Conversational group sounds are embedded into the lush wind-synth waves which surround The Power of Nothingess (4:09) with golden tones.
Enjoy simple uninterrupted resonance as Schumann Waves spread outward, occasionally shifting pitch, glinting with bell-like overtones. The similarly rhapsodic tones of Radha Shabda are of a more choral nature, entwining and drifting in lovely strands which gradually fade to silence. Flute-strata hover in the airwaves of Only Infinity is Bliss, more overt, yet still hazy like the evening air at the end of a perfectly relaxing day.
