The Lost Scripture by Achillea feat. Amiya

Amiya and Jens first connected during an album commission for Lithuanian female empowerment and relationship coach André Amiya Pabarciuté. What began as a professional collaboration quickly evolved into something deeper. After two extended, two-month sessions at Jens’ 007 Lab studio on Catalina Island, the album was completed, but more importantly, a lasting creative bond was formed.
Over the years, Jens never forgot Amiya’s extraordinary vocal expression, raw, untamed, and truly unlike anything he had encountered before. When the time came to envision the next chapter of Achillea, the idea of collaborating with Amiya resurfaced instantly.
Jens Gad, known as one of the key producers behind Enigma, recognized a rare opportunity: to build an entire sonic world around Amiya’s fearless, experimental voice. The result is an album that pushes boundaries in every direction. Amiya’s vocals are driven even further into uncharted territory, forming the foundation for a deeply atmospheric and enigmatic soundscape. Jens’ unmistakable musical signature, familiar from Achillea, is present throughout, evolving yet clearly recognizable.
In order to preserve the authenticity and emotional depth of Amiya’s performance, Jens made the deliberate choice to retain much of the Lithuanian language. The recordings themselves were approached with radical openness: largely improvised, free of traditional structure, and guided entirely by intuition.

As Jens explains:
“My magical moments come from stopping my brain from processing and allowing deep intuition to take over, improvising in the very moment. My intention was to leave Amiya’s vocals completely untouched and simply follow wherever she would lead, without thinking about tempo, chords, or song structure.”
The result is a series of immersive, free-flowing compositions that transcend conventional form, music that invites the listener to step outside of the present moment and enter a completely new, unexplored sonic realm.   

We wish you a pleasant journey!
