Based on her own spiritual experiences, “Songs of Love, Death, and Transcendence Vol. 1” encompasses themes based on deep inner realms, love, and soul connections.
The album is Ananda's self-produced work in which she composed the music, wrote the lyrics, and assembled the tracks for all songs.
Deep electronica, synth pop, industrial and dream pop-infused rhythm tracks resonate with pastoral soundscapes of strings and theremin, all embraced by a downpour of sublime vocals.
The lyrics, interspersed with metaphors on eternal love and one’s inner self, point to the soul in a state of revelation, gently enveloping and inviting listeners on a meditative spiritual journey.
Feeling deep love, feeling the light within, feeling the connection of souls, feeling the Earth as if gazing down from the universe, all boundaries disappear and one is released.
Hikari means "light" in Japanese. The light refers to the all-connecting light of love, the oneness with each other and the universe. As the ebb and flow of love and connections continue, let us remember the universal thread of love is constant in the spirit realm.
Lyrics were written in tandem in Japanese and English, two sides to an experiential coin. Each is a complementary translation of the other, and they both have essentially equal meanings and lyrical phrases, all chosen to preserve the right feeling and nuance with the melody.

“What we’re here to do is be the light.”
Mirror is the recognition of those who show us ourselves when we need it most.
Fire of the Sun is the debut solo EP from music producer Ananda Jacobs.
The album explores the way we communicate with the unlimited energy of the universe, intertwining concepts of self-discovery, the human experience, and a search for higher knowledge via love.
PALOR: for vox and trip-electric orchestra.
PALOR is Latin for "wander" and an acronym for the five songs on the album. PALOR illustrates the author's journey through time, space, and emotion. Using landscape as metaphor, each song features a unique set of programmed and guest instrumentals from balalaika to horn to full orchestra.
