Akasha System is the artist moniker of Hunter P. Thompson, a Portland based producer and musician who has cultivated a distinct sound within the realms of ambient and electronic music. With roots deeply entrenched in the lush landscapes and natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, Akasha System channels these environmental influences into sonic scapes that reflect the serenity and complexity of nature. The project leans towards a meditative and explorative approach, with compositions often characterized by atmospheric textures, understated rhythmic elements, and an intuitive flow that feels as organic as it is digital.

Over the years, Akasha System has carved out a space in the electronic underground, releasing a steady stream of evocative albums and EPs. The artist’s works such as "Phytopia," "Echo Earth," and "Shadow Self" showcase a proficiency for crafting immersive environments in sound, while releases like "Deep Sea Transmission" (inspired by Ian Urbina's book 'The Outlaw Ocean') reflect a thematic engagement with the complexities of the natural world and human experience. With each release, including the noteworthy "Swingman EP" and melodic reinterpretation in "(Do U Feel?) - Akasha System Remix," Thompson continues to build upon his ethereal aesthetic, garnering attention from ambient aficionados and electronic music enthusiasts alike.
