After making The Turning Point I needed to restore some kind of balance. There was a desire to make soft music, meditative and friendly. All songs except the last one are in tune with the Earth Year, or the OM sound. It makes the music resonate with our body and mind in such a way that it is easy to slip into a different state of consiousness; it is the frequency that has been used for thousands of years in India to meditate upon the OM sound and symbol.

The  music itself is soothing and relaxed. It could be called ambient because you can either listen and go into it, or just let it float around in your room while doing something else.

There are amorph soundscapes as well as folk-like tunes and melodies, interwoven in a bed of spatial coloursound. No rythm machines. It is slowed down music for relaxation with room for silence as well.

Sabda is the first of another Trilogy with Elements and The fascinating Vibes of Electronic Waves as second and third part. Now I was moving from very slowed down electronic music towards more complex. It became a journey through  the history of a certain kind of early playfull electronic music, interpreted within the current state of music technology. A sort of simplefied electronic music, build upon a certain nostalgia towards the most ignored era of electronic music inventions and experimentation, in the fifties- indeed when ideas were developed that would later on fuel the psychedelic era.
