With this new album, ishwish has created a vast sonic universe for the listener to explore. Christopher Currell, utilizing new audio technologies, has created a tapestry of sound and music which becomes a unique and personal experience to each listener. An important factor in ishwish music is improvisation. When music is created in "present time", a special energy happens. That energy is unique because it remains long after the actual performance is finished, still influencing the people and the environment.

"Sound is a vibration. Like sound, the universe is also vibration. If we look closer, there is information in the vibration. All knowledge we seek resides there. All we have to do is listen."

Christopher Currell
