Sea Full of Stars

Dance. Hunt. Feed. Chill. I like to think of this as an alternative soundtrack to the opening scene of 'The Hunger' with Bowie and Catherine Deneuve.
Music of the spirit from the people of the spirit (Ahl-i Nafs). Mixing electronica, jazz improvisation, and voices and instruments from all over the world to create a musical blend that feeds the mind and the body.
Band/artist history
we came together through our mutual love of live looping and world musics-- we are all long time musicians making the music we've always heard in our heads for the first times. The last year has seen my son Lido become the band's chief soloist on saxes, celtic harp, piano, and accordian, as well as the recruitment of French Somali bassist Antony Bichon.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes, clubs, cafes, concert halls, picnics, anywhere we can. Playing live is what it's all about.
