Matt Hillier and Jacqueline Kersley
Profile:
Ishq are based in st ives Cornwall, uk and have been making music since about 1995 under various guises including 'Indigo egg , Ishvara , Elve and a few other alter egos.Ishq music skirts between Idm electronica , Deep ambience and even has some newage overtones.The emphasis seems to be on music as harmony.

Ishq means "love" in Persian and Hindi, or is a word used by such past masters as Rumi to express love of the divine and the ecstatic love of the Sufi, or lover of God and all God's creation.

Ishqs music has something of this overflowing and romatic spiritual quality and 'Beauty 'and could be summed up as music of the heart (though also of the head )

Matt and Jacqueline also run ' Virtual ' a limited edition cd label which releases their more experimental soundscape music and other studio works.

Ishq debuted with something amazing and unique. Every release since then has been getting more bland and inoffensive than the last. Now his music all sounds the same: some water sounds, some soft melodies, some girl moaning, nothing happening. Unfortunate that his original stroke of art went nowhere. From his extensive catalog, Orchid is the only one worth listening to.

Ishq is heavenly, ecstasy, bliss... simply amazing. Sama is one of my all time favorites.

Ishq is a truly magical project. Orchid is one of my definitive ambient favorites.
