Astrolux PageEvet remembers listening to this song in his bedroom with the disco lights going, overtaken by the magnificent scope, splendor and haunting melodies of the timeless Cocteau Twins piece.

Bach's Toccata for Electric Guitar
Three recordings representing early work, dedication and the beginning of Astrolux.
Earliest, and still one of my best
Evet had only been playing for a year when he wrote this piece. He borrowed a friend's four-track recorder and produced it along with one other song. The sequence is original, while everything else is new, including the 12-string guitars. Out of longing for love comes music.
In Pura Excelsis Ave Maria
Written for the most sublime of all heavenly angels—Evet's mother—using instruments she likes to hear. It was the first piece in a 2016 trilogy.
The start of a new genesis
Written in 2005, just as Evet was beginning Astrolux. He wanted something easygoing over which the guitar could truly soar: “All is forgiven in the Angel's Dominion.”
