How
New Age music composer Torben Thoger's belief in psychic guidance
illuminated his musical path to success and happiness
Psychic
Visions Lead to Passionate Soundscapes

March 2008 (Los Angeles) -- He sits at the table with eyes closed,
elbows propped up, meditating while dangling a crystal on the end of
a string. The swinging slows, and the crystal rests on a map of
Spain that is spread across the desk. Opening his eyes, Danish
composer Torben Thoger sees the region of “Alicante” under the
crystal, and another step is taken in his adventurous journey of
musical discovery.
As he reached for his computer keyboard, Torben didn’t know who he
might find in Alicante, Spain, but he had faith in what two trusted
mediums had predicted in earlier sessions with him. A successful
film/TV music composer and owner of Denmark-based Camelot
Communication, Torben Thoger is as open about his spiritual life as
he is dedicated to his music. He explains how the clairvoyants
helped to identify the talented musicians who would join him in
bringing his most recent projects -- the inspired albums titled The
Present and AKASHA -- to life.
“I found it intriguing that in both 2003 and 2004, two seers had
said to me ‘There is a charming, artful, man-about-town in Spain who
will be a great help to you with your music,’” Torben shares. “Two
unrelated mediums offering the same description was a powerful
message, so I was encouraged to keep it in mind on my travels to
Spain, but met no one with whom I really resonated. Finally, at home
in Denmark and eager to move forward with my recording, I took out a
map of Spain and a crystal on a string to find some further
direction.”
Following the crystal meditation, a search on the Internet for
“music studios” near Alicante, revealed a studio number for a
musician named Pepe Bornay. Upon connecting by phone, Torben says he
felt an immediate rapport with Pepe as if they’d known one another
for years. A subsequent visit to the region confirmed that the two
were very musically compatible, and that Pepe was indeed a charming,
artful man-about-town; Torben felt confident that Pepe was the
person that both psychics had envisioned.
Having already completed Harmony, Torben wanted a new sound for The
Present, and he found it with Pepe and his fellow musicians in
Spain. Torben describes his approach to musical composition as
“highly intuitive,” often beginning with melodies and intentionally
following his heart to expand their sound. He says it is no
coincidence that he receives comment after comment about how his
music soothes and heals the listener’s heart chakra. AKASHA, in
particular, is focused on the heart; in listening, one can imagine
each song telling part of a story about soul mates finding love,
losing it, and reuniting in joy and oneness.
Torben Thoger loves the process of composing music, favoring catchy
melodies and an eclectic mix of genres and influences. For his
albums, he plays grand piano and many other instruments via keyboard
using highest-quality sample sounds from original acoustic
instruments. Combining his composition with the visceral energy of
international artists Pepe Bornay (Spanish guitar, rhythm guitar and
Latin American instruments) and Armando García Fernández (solo
violin) adds an exotic element to the albums The Present and AKASHA.
AKASHA also includes the entrancing “IAO” chant, sung by the Dutch
choir from the stagegroup Teatro del Sol from La Nucia, Alicante,
Spain, as directed by Rob Barendsma.
The ensuing years of trips back and forth between Spain and his
family’s home in Torup (on the Danish isle of Samso) led to more
than a few new recordings; with Pepe’s help, Torben found in
Alicante the land he’d always envisioned, a place he’d like to live
for the rest of his life. Torben purchased the land, and will break
ground on building a state-of-the-art sustainable home there later
this year. Ever playful, Torben toyed with combining images of his
beloved local Danish and Spanish landscapes in the cover art for
AKASHA; he is running a related contest for his fans on his website
in March and April.
Clearly, Torben Thoger loves to share the positive effect that
psychic vision has had on his life, and his album AKASHA delivers a
tribute to that idea. He explains “The Akashic Record contains the
most important and vital information about our soul’s purpose and
journeys in the past, in this lifetime, and it can provide a guide
for the future…this CD comes from my heart…and AKASHA.”
