The Invisible landscape ' is a collection of 4 extended ambient pieces written to function as ' meditative ambient ' music
but also via headphones draw the listener further into a more detailed multi layered listening experience at moderate levels.

The album is a meditation and painting of the Invisible landscape of the imagination many people have seen and explored
in their minds eye but it is also inspired as ever by the English countryside and a celebration of wandering October fields .

Ishq
Real Name: Matt Hillier and Jacqueline Kersley

Ishq are based in St Ives Cornwall, UK and have been making music since about 1995 under various guises including Indigo egg, Ishvara, Elve, and a few other alter egos. Ishq music skirts between IDM electronica, deep ambience and even has some newage overtones. The emphasis seems to be on music as harmony.

Ishq means "love" in Persian and Hindi, it is also a word used by such past masters as Rumi to express love of the divine and the ecstatic love of the Sufi or lover of God and all God's creation.

Ishq's music has something of this overflowing and romatic spiritual quality and "'Beauty", it could be summed up as music of the heart (though also of the head).

Matt and Jacqueline also run Virtual (3), a limited edition CD label which releases their more experimental soundscape music and other studio works.
