LIFE/BOOKS...
-----------------------------------------------------
Wisdom/Spirituality: My alltime favourite writer is JANE ROBERTS, author of the famous and unique "Seth-books". I also like the work of other writers like Eckhart Tolle, Paul Brunton, Michael Roads, Jani King, Robert Monroe. Further fields of interest are Near Death Experiences, Prophecies, Out-of-Body-Travelling.
-----------------------------------------------------
Literature/Writers/Poets:
I like the work of great storytellers, who have the ability to take one away to journeys in other spheres - like Hesse, Tolkien, Lagerlöf, Shakespeare or Michael Ende. | | Sounds Like | Oldfield, Vollenweider, Secret Garden, Enigma, U2, Hevia | | Record Label | villa-productions | | Type of Label | Indie |

| About Art Sebastian |
Sound magician Art Sebastian weaves enchanted landscapes, natural ambiences and melodious harmonies into his work, transporting the listener away to inner places where he can rest and relax. Here, the listener finds himself in the warm morning light, or the deep mystique of night, dreaming away amidst the clear and fresh air of springtime winds or an enchanted forest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Art states that his album DAYLIGHTED contains relaxing, chilling and atmospheric instrumental music portraying an inner landscape by means of a ‘sound painting’. Most of the pieces incorporate natural sounds, emphasising certain environments. DAYLIGHTED also contains the single CASSIOPEIA - which is the only vocal piece on the album and is sung by singer Anja Rambow. CASSIOPEIA may best be described as ethnopop; weaving mystical ethnic and ambient textures with lyrics both ancient and new.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also, Art recently has released two additional albums: GOLDLAND and TRAVELLING. Both are brilliant instrumental albums - each with its own character. GOLDLAND includes three extended instrumentals in the vein of Oldfield or Vollenweider. Reaching up to 24 minutes duration, each of them represent a journey in which the listener travels through many different landscapes. His latest album, TRAVELLING, combines the best of both worlds, so to speak - pieces of standard length as well as longer instrumentals, which bridges time dimensions with flavours from different ages such as the medieval period. In addition, it also includes an ‘ethnopop’-single in the vein of CASSIOPEIA - titled SHANGRI LA. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Art creates magnificent soundscapes by being versed at many instruments. Besides his brilliant guitar work and spheric synthesizer crossover style, he also plays ethnic and exotic natural instruments like Flutes, Bagpipes, Sitar, Hurdy-Gurdy, Xylophone, Tube bells, Piano as well as many others. Not only being adept at using his knowledge and versatility to create sensitive instrumental moods, Art as well is adept at producing professional melodious rock- and pop-songs for vocalists that have the same familiar 'magic touch' that his instrumental pieces have. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Although being an amazingly versatile musician, Art also collaborates internationally with many talented and established professional musicians. For example, he has recently collaborated with artists like American instrumental musician Eric Scot Porter, Norwegian singer Tirill Mohn, Swiss singer 'Anthony' and Scottish singer David William. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Art Sebastian's music has been published online since 2006 and is available for download at iTunes and other online stores. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
