A Message from Aukai:
“Dear HeartFire family in Amsterdam,
I am looking much forward to return to Amsterdam after many years although with a different kind of concert and proposal. After many touring years traveling the globe with Mirabai Ceiba, I was longing to find a new internal and intimate journey with music. Instrumental music that would be less defined by words, and could take the listener to an inner world of individual feelings, memories and dreams.
Since then most of the music of Aukai has been created in the quietude of remote studio settings mostly wooden cabin’s somewhere in nature. Now it’s time to slowly bring this fragile entity live to the people in a form of deep listening concerts. My invitation is to enter a collective space of conscious listening and allow the music to take us in a subtle way to an inner place of stillness and profound arrival within ourselves as we are.
Angelika will play harp, piano and sing, and Sylvain Rambourdin will join us on violin, I will play all kinds of guitars, charango, ronroco, and a for me very new gong like instrument which is called the bell plates.”

“a collection of minimalist, fragile, and honest pieces that continue to reach in and touch the soul.”
About Aukai
Intimate yet spacious, warm and evocative, Aukai takes the listener on an inward journey of cinematic tone poems and ambient acoustic soundscape to a place of stillness and tranquil beauty.
Aukai was born of composer/instrumentalist Markus Sieber’s desire to create music in a form of “Instrumental short stories” The phrase is an apt one. Moody, evocative, delicately ligreed, the pieces are brief, but haunting. They stay with the listener long
after the sounds have faded, like gently melting snow on a sunny hillside.
All feature Aukai’s nuanced, expressive touch of the Charango, a plucked mandolin-like string instrument from the Andes, which took centre stage on most of his work so far.
“It has an otherworldly, mesmerizing, dreamy sound, that I love,” he explains. “It comes from the Andes, and it’s sound literally transmits the experience of being up high in the mountains, a sensation of space and freedom.”
“gorgeous ambient acoustic soundscapes dappled with subtle electronic touches, haunting and melancholy”
Music of Aukai
“Perpetual-motion acoustic guitar picking… other sounds and reverberations waft in without breaking the spell”
