Asura is Charles Farewell, born in 1975. Originally a duo composed of Charles Farewell and Vincent Villuis. Since 1996, the project Asura has polished a personal electronic universe sound, between trance psychedelic, ambient and world music. In 1998, Christopher Maze joins the band and in 2001, the first Asura album, Code Eternity, is released. Made by many influences, their music, built around electronic machines and acoustic instruments, does not remain about it less one personal and considered creation, centered on the perpetual search of infinite spaces and multiple origins. Monotonous melancholic lyrics, symphonic waves, fast and slow rhythms, heavy or throbbing, liturgical songs, the project Asura introduces a certain solemn vision of the world. They have created a very distinctive sound which has contributed to making Asura one of the most recognizable bands of the World Electro and Trance Ambient genre…

Asura aka Charles Farewell is a well known artist since the 90’s, and most renowned for his psychill ambient music delivered straight from the heart. However, with his crafty musical versatility, he creates atmospheric pulses of organic beats and dreamy oriental ambiances. His talented ways to achieving balance, blending and melding to bring together unison in multiple songs are not afraid to also bring a dance floor on fire with his legendary 4/4 beats. Here is Charles latest work on Altar Records titled “Atmosphere”. It is a beautiful album that seamlessly flows from one track to the next, with movement like a gentle organic spiral. This new album is musically weaved together of four previously unreleased tunes, along with some of the best recent compilations.
