From the forests of Cascadia to the rippling tropics of the Gulf Coast, Hunter P. Thompson's music as Akasha System both reflects and refracts the environment of it's origin - equal parts mirror, mixing desk, and meditation chamber. His latest, Phytopia, skews even loftier, a private portal into a primordial world of mist and mystery, framed by crystalline rivers, rainbow canopies, and hanging gardens. He describes it's wavelength as "a waking vision," teeming with "life, chaos, and magic."Crafted across the past three years in his recently departed Portland, Oregon basement haven, Green House, the album's nine tracks unfold with a shimmering, cellular symmetry - prehistoric and preordained, lush ecosystems in hidden harmony. A composite of synths, software, and spatial finesse, this is Akasha System at it's most attuned and eternal, a forever expanding universe of percolating rhythm and fragrant air.
