Music has been present in Ângelo’s life from a very early age. Several of his uncles were musicians, which created a strong musical environment within his family. At the age of eleven, he had a brief experience learning the piano, and by thirteen he was playing in the Firefighters’ brass band.
It was during the period when he lived in a community in Galicia that his musical awareness truly deepened and expanded. There, music was used to unite the community, to celebrate and express gratitude for life, and to serve as a mediator for raising consciousness.
His growing interest in sound later led him to explore Tibetan singing bowls, and he completed the five levels of training at the Peter Hess Academy. Ângelo has developed a unique style in the way he works with sound. He masters a wide range of instruments, including gongs, Native American flutes, Tibetan bowls, crystal bowls, monochord, shamanic drum, ocean drum, shruti box, rain stick, conch, antaras, hissing vessels, ocarinas, sansula, kalimba, and xylophone. He combines these instruments with harmonic singing, medicine songs, and guided meditation.
ANNA has been a DJ since she was fourteen years old. “I experimented with all styles in the beginning. After some time, I found my identity, and it was techno. I became one hundred percent focused on my career. I would practice for ten hours a day, and I was always researching and planning,” she says. It was this drive, an incessant desire to make better music and be more creative, that led her to a neurofeedback centre in Germany in October 2017.
There, she took what she describes as vital steps in her journey of self realisation. The experience opened her mind and profoundly altered her creative process and worldview. It eventually led to the creation of her debut ambient album, Intentions, released with Mercury KX through Decca that same year. On this record, she moved away from club driven production toward sound healing and ambient sensibilities. “I left the centre totally surrendered to spirit and to my soul. I thought, ‘What is it that life wants to express through me?’”
She had long been interested in spirituality and had used meditation as a tool for recentering, though it had never been her main focus. Today, she is fully committed to spiritual and meditative practices, including Transcendental Meditation, Vipassana, during which participants remain silent and meditate for up to ten hours a day, and training in shamanic energy healing.
