Producer and Songwriter Ashkelon Sain from Trance To The Sun and Trance to the Moon

DJ Nocturna

Multi-instrumentalist and primary songwriter and producer of the neo-psychedelic post punk band Trance to the Sun, Ashkelon Sain said the spirit of "Trance To The Sun" began in 1990. He said, “Our music is for the nocturnal environment, delivered in a trance-like state, made possible by the wealth of energy dealt to earth in the daytime by the sun.”  The band released  several albums, EPs, cassettes, CDs and compilations. Trance to the Sun has featured three full time vocalists: Zoe Wakefield, Dawn Wagner and Ingrid Blue.  The band's recordings also included drummer Daniel Henderson and other guest musicians.

 One of his collaborative works include two albums (Atlan and Eztica) with Tuvan throat singer, Soriah on Projekt Records which is described as a "shamanistic ritual art experience, one that documents Soriah’s explorations into his own ethnicity and heritage, amplified by the amazing soundscapes of Trance to the Sun guitarist Ashkelon Sain. This is the kind of musical spiritual journey that most others simply aspire to."  https://www.projekt.com

Sain's latest project, Trance To The Moon is a collaboration with vocalist Monet Alarie. Check out the video "Except in Dreams." "Trance to the Moon" currently has two EPs Except in Dreams and Fire Within Glass and a forthcoming album to be released in early 2022.
