Arafúra

Arafúra is an Ambient project based in the Netherlands. Manipulating guitar sounds, using celestial keys, sampling, old analog sources, strings and programming to create organic soundscapes with a structured sensibility. This is what creates a platform in time to escape everything and anything related to the social pressure us humans tend to experience in this fast-paced and competitive society.

Warmth, spontaneity, our surroundings, our hopes and dreams - that’s what’s at the heart of this collective ... ... the serene calmth before the social storm. - - - At this moment in time the line-up is as follows: - Michel de Jong: concept / guitars / keys / electronics / programming / production - Bram Witvliet: cello - - - The Gardens of Endless Blossoming: 'The Gardens of Endless Blossoming' will feature minimalistic soundscapes that are purely meant to dull the senses and are to be considered as 'sleep music'. The entire concept revolves around layers of sound subtly revolving around each other to create a blissful effect through a sense of a hypnotic induced trance. Staralasis: The debut full length, which carries the name 'Staralasis', is going to be released somewhere in 2012, if all goes according to plan.
