Igor Wakhévitch

A previously unheard chapter in the saga of Igor Wakhevitch, a close peer and associate of everyone from Pierre Henry to Yves Saint-Laurent and Pink Floyd, and one of the first composers of his generation to make use of Moog, Synthi AKS and ARP synthesizers. "Kshatyra [The Eye of the Bird]" is a much later work, recorded in the late 90’s on Wakhevitch’s custom Mysterious Island 88 system. It came to Wakhevitch as a means of mediating and reconciling his knowledge of Hindu symbolism, making use of ancient Indian classical modes.
