In 2022 Hance signed with X DOT 25 Music. The production of his debut album Ancient Voices completed in 2022 which brought his musical visions into life. Ancient Voices released on December 9, 2022, worldwide through The Orchard/Sony Music Group.
Hance Marchal was born and raised in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Music has always been his passion since he started playing the Panflute at age 7. He started producing his own music four years ago and calls his musical style "Electro Ambient" where he loves the fusion of mystic sounds into electro ambient soundscapes.
‘Over The Stars’ features two original members of the pioneering world music band Shakti: L. Shankar and Vikku Vinayakram, along with V. Selvaganesh (current member of Shakti) and his son S. Swaminathan.
The combination of Shankar and Vikku brings back the unmistakable original sound of Shakti with Shankar’s legendary, mesmerizing vocals and violin melodies dominating the auditory experience, while Vikku Vinayakram’s incredible command over the ghatam shines through the whole album. The album also highlights the explosive and pulsating percussion solos of Vikku Vinayakram, V. Selvaganesh and S. Swaminathan, showcasing their virtuosity.
“Ultimate Reality Towards Divinity” by “Arash Adelpour” (Ashavahishta) is a story, a path, a step by step self-experience of a being from initial consciousness towards divinity. The genre therefore can be called “Mystical.” Persian Folk music and its rich traditions have influenced some of the melodies but the music itself is original. The band is an acoustic band using folk instruments as well as modern instruments to create a sound that is divinely unique. Arash Adelpour plays the guitar in the band and it is inspired by his experiences around meditation.
