Composer Torben Thoger Patches up with Only New Age Music, Inc.
Danish Composer Torben Thoger teams with Suzanne Doucet (US based new age music expert) of Only New Age Music, Inc., to promote the first release of his catalog to the U.S market. Akasha is Thoger’s latest album and two of his albums, The Present and Harmony, will be released in the latter 2008.
New Age Music pioneer Suzanne Doucet said “New Age Music is truly international, as we can experience with Danish film composer Torben Thoger. His style is influenced by different cultures and styles and he blends classical, world and pop elements into a tapestry of colorful, relaxing and soothing soundscapes. His music moves through various New Age styles and will appeal to many different audiences. This album reminds us that, ultimately, it is not a singular style that makes music New Age – it is the underlying Spirit and effect the music has on the listener.”
The press release goes like this “Thoger will also celebrate the release of AKASHA with a CD giveaway contest for fans on his website. AKASHA’s uplifting blend of audio visions includes lush compositions and exotic live performances, occasionally accented with heavenly vocals. It is an adventure in active listening and musical storytelling for modern New Age fans, incorporating elements of symphonic rock and chill out music throughout the traditional compositions. Although not composed with this in mind, keen listeners might imagine the succession of tracks as a journey of soul mates seeking one another, finding, loving, dancing and, finally, returning to oneness, as AKASHA culminates with a breathtaking IAO chant.”

I heard the next album, Harmony, which is quite beautiful…a more traditional New Age music sound than AKASHA. “A Wonderful Place” on AKASHA is my favorite!!!
New albums releasing in the U.S. soon: The Present and Harmony. We predict that the song “Primavera” will be a big hit…and there is a video to go with it at http://www.youtube.com/bethbetty
