The AK Project
Founded by AK (Azim K), and with members, Solveig, Matt and Ahenk,
The AK Project is a progressive, ambient rock band that explores
various musical influences which come together in a unique blend of
styles and genres. Rather than being locked into only one form of
music but given that this is progressive band, The AK Project sets
out to combine all these elements into one form.
More about
AK.... AK defies classification as a person, and as a musician. The
Stepney British-born, now living in Canada, multi-instrumentalist
saw his life change before his eyes, and his path laid out before
him by watching the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd perform
musical magic on the BBC and then seeing Judas Priest on 'Top Of The
Pops' (British music show). Barely old enough to hold a guitar, this
epiphany of classic rock to progressive metal and all in-between was
enough to chart a clear musical course for AK through his youth and
adult life. Indeed, it was the seed for what would follow.
Since the early 80's Azim has performed, recorded and toured
professionally with a number of bands. He has also honed his craft
as a musician and developed an innate talent and understanding of
numerous genres of music including progressive rock, metal,
classical, jazz, and blues. His command of instruments such as
guitar, bass and keyboards is second to none. His diversity as a
musician sets him apart and has made him a compelling artist.
The AK Project shows has grown significantly with help from
companies like 'XYGRGB' (a 3D company who have worked on films like,
The Lord Of The Rings, Batman Begins, King Kong and more), and NOC
Visuals for the live element of The AK project. An immense amount of
time and effort is spent on the visual element of these shows to
produce a spectacular performance and a truly magnificent
experience.
His first solo album with The AK Project, Outside The Cage, has
enjoyed both critical and commercial success and songs have been a
featured on influential music sites like garageband.com
The 2nd CD which will be released soon will explore darker themes
and concepts with heavier musical elements.
