Axel Thesleff - Akasha (Official Video)

#axelthesleff #electronicmusic #twoworlds

Synopsis of Akasha:
The mind can be the worst of prisons. We all have the desire to experience the world around us - to feel, move, and surrender to our senses and passions. Fear, anxiety, and self-doubt are forces that keep us from living our lives to the fullest. Akasha is trapped between these two worlds of freedom and constraint, yearning to break free of the crippling emotions holding her from realizing her dreams. She must come to terms with herself in order to break free, but in order to do that, she must overcome the winter of delirium that surrounds her inner being.

Axel, I am a Pakistani and I am a brother of someone who lives far away from me.

The instant I played it made me cry because this song means both the separation and longing for loved ones.

In the middle, when it shows the girl crying and thinking about her life back in time when she had it all reminds me of the same when I had all with my brother being on my side.

He does now too, but physical existence means more than spiritual one.

Thank You, Axel. 😭❤️

Hello Axel, love from India.
I just love how you have incorporated the Indian music. I am just so thankful and grateful for whatever you have made from Indian culture and art. Listening to your music gives immense joy.
Just a request if you could make one such piece from Rajasthani folk music.
Thanks

[legowtham]

It's so warming to see a foreigner get inspired by our culture, and produce a dope music... Cheers, my man!! <3

Axel is a holy producer whom you don't see often but once he comes....everything is blown into pieces and his music enters your ears as the savior from disaster.

[brunosmom]

Oh my. I love this piece. I feel a strong connection in my soul to the concept of this video. I perform this form of dancing with my dance troupe. I happen to have Multiple Sclerosis and I feel my ability to dance being slowly robbed from me. This video spoke to me. Thank you.

hell ye I love this song, now it's even better ❤

[bajwa]

This music and video is a masterpiece- it captures perfectly the sense of separation that an immigrant feels. It's not easy to leave your lands and culture behind and migrate to a new place. Man is a product of the land :(

[Sophie-mroe]

I’m from England and I’m in love with this type of music 🥰

[jasonsong]

This song takes you on a trip... feels like I'm in a dream... haunting at the same time... awesome!

[randunufdo]

You are a very talented composer keep up the good work mate I find it quite amazing the way you integrate EDM to eastern ragas not alot of people can do this as well as you do big thumbs up! 👍👍👍

[SINISTRS]

Exactly the type of video i was imagining for this song. Your work on Indian culture and folk is remarkable

[dipsagarbarman]

I cant express my feeling, the music just passing through my heart, brain every part of my body.

[Starlight-wxls]

It's a story of a million heart, told in vibrant and stark colours, at the backdrop of amazing landscapes, dance and music. It's artistic brilliance . Much respect.
