Their title contains two words in Sanskrit: “atma” which means “personality” and “sfera” is something that surrounds it. In general the name describes something that surrounds the personality, its external and internal world, as well as feelings. So, the Sanskrit: Atmasfera is the etymological root of the English word: atmosphere.
Their styles are world and contemporary music (Integro album), combines the classical forms with jazz improvisation, experiments with folk and ethnic motives of the world (Forgotten World album). The creative path of AtmAsfera had started form art-rock style (To find album). The modern west tendencies are organically added by ancient east motives and enriched by unique Ukrainian colouring.
