AOMUSIC, "music for a new aeon," is vibrant, cinematic, and intoxicatingly rhythmic - described by critics as "astonishing" visit www.aomusic.com .The immediate freshness of this sound has a way of making people "feel" something wherever on the Earth they're from. AOMUSIC is a complete hybrid of universal expression; unlike anything ever produced, and appealing to all ages and genres of preference.
A key ingredient in AOMUSIC's unique expression is
powerful vocal ensembles, sung by children throughout the world. Refrain lyrics are often a variety of ancient languages or carefully crafted phonetics, chosen for their "shape." The object is not to hold allegiance to any particular region, so the impression is fresh and exotic from any place on the earth.
