Ishq have been making music since about 1995 under various guises including Indigo Egg, Ishvara, Elve, and a few other alter egos. Ishq music skirts between IDM electronica, deep ambience and even has some New Age overtones. The emphasis seems to be on music as harmony.
Ishq means "love" in Persian and Hindi, it is also a word used by such past masters as Rumi to express love of the divine and the ecstatic love of the Sufi or lover of God and all God's creation.
Matt and Jacqueline also run Virtual (3), a limited-edition CD label which releases their more experimental soundscape music and other studio works.
