Akasha is part of the music theatre work Void (Sunyata). Wim Henderickx created a version for solo trombone and electronics in 2019, at the request of Thomas Moore. The timing in this work is proportional. AKASHA stands for the natural element ether or the fifth element. “Âkâsha is a Sanskrit word meaning expanse, but it also refers to the unweighable and intangible principle of life - the astral and the heavenly light united together - which two form the world soul and constitute the soul and spirit of man.” Helena Blavatsky This composition can be considered a kind of meditation.
