Vas is a duo comprised of Iranian-born Azam Ali and American Greg Ellis; their 1997 debut release brings Azam's fluidly pure voice together with Greg's unique, traditional Eastern- sounding percussion creating an unorthodox, ethereal music. Sunyata means 'emptiness,the wondrous source of creation' and Vas means 'vessel' -- both apt metaphors for what happens here when voice and instrument intertwine, pulsating as one. Azam has created her own personal idiom, where 'free from the constraints of any written language, the voice is capable of sounds no man-made instrument can create.' Very gorgeous, for listening as well as for Middle-Eastern dance accompaniment.

Sunyata is the debut album by VAS.
