The music goes deep. It is a blend of many cultures but has stemmed from roots of hip hop and experimentation. The production consists of many live world instruments. tabla, spanish & middle eastern style guitar, congas, flute, sax, sarod, didgeridoo, turntables, violin, balaphone, electronics...the list goes on. The lyrics are conscious... conversations on life.. and death. Politics, planetary self destruktion, etc. (lyrics are rapped, sung, or sometimes spoken word) Here are many styles; dark, light, mysterious, beautiful... middle eastern, dub/roots/reggae, hip hop, downtempo ect. The music, emotion communicated through sound... please listen with an open mind.
The group started back in '94. Teao and Zygoat made music under the name II Sense (two sense). In '97, they combined with Defiance and Laxman to form Kaotic Souls, one of the only experimental and conscious hip hop acts in San Jose, Ca. The group eventually grew to the supa huge size of about 30 members... all spirtually connected artists. Finally in 2002, they created the name Audiopharmacy Prescriptions. Now, Kaotic Souls is broken down to subgroups, all of which are in the Audiopharmacy family. Audiopharmacy Prescriptions then became the San Francisco indi label which supports and signs unknown kin met along the path of consciousness and community. respect people's planets.
