WHAT IS TO BE KNOWN?
ALONG THE SOFT EDGES OF KNOWLEDGE,
WHERE MUSIC COMES UNTAINTED AND VISIBLE TO THE NAKE EYE

VOICES LOST IN THE DARK
WILL EVENTUALLY FIND EACH OTHER AND SING IN UNISON.
THEN HEARD, THEN UNDERSTOOD, BY THOSE THAT LISTEN.

Recorded in a rare moment of freedom between lockdowns, Flightcase represents the joy of collaboration and the importance of human connection.
This is an album of many voices. Influences ranging from Herbie Hancock to Sun Ra, but also from other projects Akin is involved in, Amara & GABO, shine through in an album which acknowledges the various music that inspires and influences Akin, whilst trying to create something new and unique.

Akin Subscribes to the philosophy of allowing each musician to create however they feel to, trying to do little more than create the framework and allow the other musicians to express themselves within this. This felt particularly important in a time marred by restrictions.
