Voyage Of Exploration (2012) and Synaptic Beat (2013) established Akron as one of the best sonic and mood explorers out there, achieving an engaging personal sound while carrying on the legacy of greats such as Les Baxter, Delia Derbyshire, Mort Garson, Sun Ra... Free from any scene or genre constraints, Akron managed to combine a myriad of sounds in a completely unique way. Soon after the release of Synaptic Beat, Akron became a quartet in order to perform their music on stage. After a few gigs they recorded an album with the aim to capture the essence of their live set-up. The result, Ritualul Sferei (The Ritual of the Spheres), resembles a pseudo-tribal ceremony that takes place in an inhospitable corner of the universe. It could be a rite from an unknown civilization living in a different planet or an enigmatic earthly celebration from another time (past or future). For five years that recording was put aside and the band's live performances stopped. At last, Ritualul Sferei has been finished and sees the light of day.

LP version, in a special die-cut sleeve. Includes a CD copy of the album. 2012's Voyage of Exploration (VAMPI 147CD/LP) revealed Akron as one of the best sonic and mood explorers out there, achieving an engaging personal sound while carrying on the legacy of greats such as Les Baxter, Delia Derbyshire, Mort Garson, and Sun Ra. If that first album was an instrumental travel through space and otherworldly planets, this time he takes us on a trip inside the mind, consciousness, and the self. Let the hypnotic rhythm of the bongos and the enveloping sound of organs take you through inner space.

Under the Akron moniker stands one man bringing together all his influences from instrumental music from the '50s to the '70s: classic exotica by Martin Denny and Les Baxter, the proto-electronic sounds of Delia Derbyshire and Mort Garson, all kinds of soundtracks (from TV series like The Twilight Zone and Thunderbirds to Italian giallos), the work of unclassifiable artists such as Moondog and Sun Ra... And all of it filtered through Joe Meek's productions. Free from any scene or genre constraints, Akron manages to combine all these sounds in a unique and totally personal way. Voyage of Exploration, his debut album, takes us on a trip across different worlds, as if we were onboard the Enterprise and there were a new tune waiting for us on each planet. Includes free CD of the entire album.
