1632 Fear of a Blank Planet
Artist Guide » Electronic » Soundscapes » ORIGEN: Era Of Aquarius
Origen journey to the international music stage from The Ukraine in a flurry of light & sound. A large body of work both Classical & New Age in derivation from Alexsey Zakharenko of Kiev. His Kaleidoscopic artistry rains down upon the listeners senses with the skills of the composer , producer , electronic musician , arranger & sonic-audio engineer
"Awakening" in its organic glory foretells an atmosphere of early dawning & gothic chanting in cinema-scope & stained glass settings
"Dance Of The Clouds" has a plaintive electronic synthesis piano of baroque & melancholy tone & ambiance, like a candle flickering in the dead of night
"Andromeda" stretches the boundaries via glockenspiel into the outer reaches of a twinkling deep midnight sky , with a quaint waltz time & pseudo harpsichord that brings forth days of futures past
"Era Of Aquarius" moves with the four-four time of techno-tronic allure. Whereas 'Sequence Of Art" spirals its way towards us like a galactic nebula carousel
These forays into the mysteries of art & sound, coupled with a propensity to evoke classical images , make Origens a distinct journey towards areas of music that remain undaunted by the limitations of space & time ; As is the nature of the soul in it's boundless proximity to the cosmos


The new age of Origen started in 1996 when this name appeared on the CD "Electro" (http://www.cdstreet.com/artists/origen) "that blends together elegance and beauty dressed in electronic clothing". The creator of this CD and new Origen is Alexsey Zakharenko- composer, electronic musician, sound engineer and producer from Kiev (Ukraine). Earlier he mainly was deal with recording and producing of classical music. "Electro" and the next album "Era of Aquarius" (http://www.cdbaby.com/origen), which till now is the best selling CD by Origen, were challenge to Jean-Michel Jarre, Enigma, and Vangelis.
The next CD "Mooky Zvoo" (http://www.mp3.com/origens) essentially differs from the previous albums. It is bright mix of pop, electronics, rock and new age. "Dedication to Jim Morrison" is one of the best and unusual Origen's songs. Nice composition, true Jim's voice, perfect performance make indelible impression.
New turn in Origen's music happened this year when Alexey Zakharenko invited opera soprano Tanya to take part in recording of his last electronic/new age CD "AVE MARIA" (http://www.cdbaby.com/anthology). "This is so good! Incredible sound, and mixing..and I cried when the vocals came in... this is "Dead can Dance. I will be listening out for more... how can I not" May be this simple words of a listener are the best description of the stunning and heart-wrenching music by Origen
