Moksha

Moksha on Arka. Moksha's CD 'The Inbetween Us' is a fusion of Urban Dub and Northern European Folk Music.

'The forest would sing to us, and although it has long since disappeared, the ancient music in its branches and on the wind has remained... and these cities, our nests, were built upon the echoes. We still heard the timeless dancing melodies above the growling, buzzing beast, and we were infused with both.'
