► This track unfolds like a slow sunrise. The harmonic path is built around resonant chords that radiate introspection and depth. The pacing is deliberate, allowing every passage to breathe fully, evoking feelings of calm, quiet wonder. A precious listening.

■ The A. O.: The track from “Mana” that we prefer is “Kella”. Can you tell us how it came to light?
► Asha Patera: The album is a collection of tracks inspired by my surroundings. ‘Kella’ is the name of an area about four miles from where I live – it is so small as not to even be a village, just a few houses in the winding countryside lanes, but the name is evocative of dreamy summer afternoons, idling away time, and I tried to capture that in the music.

■ Favorite track: “Xylophonics V (Asha Patera Remix)“
► This is a powerful and relentless march, punctuated by a syncopated bass that dictates its tempo. Although the drone is totally immersive, the horizontal space of the sound spectrum is intelligently preserved by percussive elements and digital cascades, panned all around our head. It’s time to travel again.

■ Favorite track: “Kella“
►There is something liberating and threatening at the same time. The bass is like a snake crawling at your feet, but the cascades of high-frequency drones make you look up, searching for shooting stars to ask for hope. You’d better act.
