On the first day of the Intifada, a concert was recorded in front of a six people crowd. This date gave a special meaning to the music that was played, and took it into a different state of mind and atmosphere. This made this special encounter - between the Armenian spirit of Djivan Gasparyan with his unique voice, and the ethnical Mediterranean music of Amir Perelman - the true quest for serenity, not only in the studio, living room or concert hall, but in the hard and hostile environment that man is too often responsible for. We truly believe that music in general, and this album in particular, are true messengers of the power and beauty of music, to give hope and light to all and, unlike any other way, to make a difference in the heart of people.

"Exophere" offers ten tracks making up 68 minutes of music continuing the fine tradition of space & tribal ambient which Baghiri is known for. The album starts off quiet but after a few minutes a slow and later on accelerating and prominent sequence shows up which is very reminiscent of the extended track "In the Heat of Venus" on Steve Roach’s album "Western Spaces".
