Sevensy - Blankfilm (20:39) "'Music for Blank Film' is the result of several years of recording, deconstructing and remixing a number of original themes. The music was conceived with the notion that the listener would construct mental imagery to coincide with the varying soundscapes presented, hence the title. Instrumentation includes synthesizers, guitar, trombone, percussive and noise elements. Although the suite of pieces begins with quite a dark ambient and sombre tone, eventually the mood lifts, so that by the time the music has concluded, a quite uplifting feeling has been achieved." -- sevensy "Sevensy - Music for Blank Film (released on Mahorka) is comprised from a set of themes that blend various styles and sounds, to produce a 20 minute imaginary film soundtrack. Each theme is constructed from a handful of a looped phrases that form the backbone, then with improvisation to explore other ideas and nuances. Like a film, transitions may be stark and highly contrasting, or gradually blended so youre unable to tell where one theme begins and another ends. Sevensy uses Orb-like electronic sounds in places, mixed with guitars and heavily processed but live drums. Theres silence in the middle, that slowly unfolding into an unusual soundscape. Eventually, a looped melody plays, and other looped rhythmic elements are introduced. Sevensy shifts melodies and rhythms more quickly as the piece approaches the end, as if concluding and resolving themes. Whether or not Sevensy was influenced by 90s ambient music like The Orb or not, I find this works well with his choice of non-electronic instrumentation and composition techniques. Unlike most blockbuster films, Sevensy chooses not to resolve the piece in a grand and obvious event, but instead seems to leave the piece open. This is quite powerful, because as the track drifts off into memory after it has ended, it keeps your imagination working." --Review by Alex Young at Milieu released May 6, 2005 ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

At first a spacious setting is created in "greeting" and "moon arch" but soon the mechanical is met head-on in "emergency inspection," "children of the deep" and "greppling." Calm waves of melody in "polynesian sunset" are firmly counterpoised by fuzzy repetition in "beacon," bringing machine-sound to the forefront and producing an unsettling mesmerism." --sevensy released December 19, 2007 ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Black Vortex - Surface Floatation (3:12) After an amazing debut EP "Submersed" by Amir Baloch aka Black Vortex, the much awaited first full length album "Self Imposed Isolation" is here, and with the Album title one must consider what the artist was thinking! Fear not, for the album title are words, which shed light to the whole album into being of how Black Vortex wanted to be perceived. After hearing the first album several times the first impression one gets is how Black Vortex's devotion has changed to bring out the story he wants to tell his fans. I have to say with the album title being so bold i wouldn't have expected a better outcome on the first track "Cornered Beast will still fight", which starts off with piano and goose-bumping guitar sounds with chill vibes gradually leading and blending with down tempo beats, which made me mellow out and consider that maybe A cornered beast will most definitely fight! As i moved on to the second track "Rising" a fervid feel came in with sounds relaxing me more. After giving it a complete listen, I asked myself how much dedication and emotions must've gone into creating this track masterfully. It went on to hit on my emotional side, made me relax and I wondered how beautifully made it was, I have to say it's my favorite track of the Album. The next track "Invisible" wanted to be heard closely, as the down tempo fueled by a dark vibe was back, which Black Vortex is known for. The upgrades this artist has made from his first album is commendable. Then I landed on "Void of the Beating Heart", the mellow part was back but the permutation of slowly growing progressiveness and background synths just kept me really provoked and the emotional feel was still there. I like how the difference in all of the tracks tell a story, a story Black Vortex hides well, one can only figure the meaning with the track names and the amazing part is the tracks give justice to the titles leaving a somewhat dumbfoundedness. "The Blind Eye" brings back the electronic feel, landing on this track, I began to wonder what made the artist produce tracks that would keep me so involved from start to finish? that I know is a rare thing, the beauty here is that the Album starts off on the uptempo side, turning to mellow electronic side and again returning to the uptempo side where IDM elements are more active with the same dark vide in complete sync. After "Rising" the feeling the artist has shared would be in this track "The Blind Eye" making me love the beats and wanting to listen to the whole album to form the sync perfectly which I spoke of earlier. After "The Blink Eye" comes "Low Spirits" which surprised me more, with the tribal lyrics and sounds in the background make it a perfect world track, something Criss Angel would be proud of, Hah. Coming towards the end my first impression of "Trying" was pure electronic bliss where some IDM elements, Tabla and violin were put nicely to form a blissful track directing towards the ending of the album. The second last track "Vibrating Earth" yet again what the title claims brings electronic beats vibrating, the stings well used would advise hearing this one on headphones and drifting away. The Last track "Surface Floatation, brings a full fledged uptempo/acid vibe, I guess Black Vortex wanted to end the album with a bang, slightly being upbeat with strings, acid and Electronica in between, bringing a beautiful end for an Artist's first full length album, which will make his fans believe how much he's grown from his debut EP and how hard he's worked on it. A story being told so beautifully makes me want to throw a shout out to the artist and ask what was going through his mind. An effort which will amaze all Ambient/Downtempo Electronica lovers as it did me, the way the album progresses to take the turn from emotional downtempo to a whole new electronic side. Highly recommended!. ~ Shahzeb Afzal released May 18, 2012 Artwork by Amir Baloch Mastered by Amir Baloch Producer, Written By Amir Baloch ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

While Esa might be more known via his other moniker, Lackluster, we're sure you agree that this is a different take, a departure from the more melodic material released as Lackluster. What is a Spaceship Earth? R. Buckminster Fuller wrote and published a book called "Operation Manual for Spaceship Earth" back in 1968. Bucky would also go on to provide us with a simple ultimatum: "We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody." What is the tower? Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tesla Wireless World System tower, envisioned at the end of the 1800s, providing wireless electricity and information transfer throughout the planet, without any delay or latency. Ideal for musicians and for everyone on this planet. Our hand-held devices will eventually charge and communicate through these types of towers based on Tesla's discoveries - the time is coming, move over Wi-Fi, Li-Fi, 3G, LTE, Bluetooth.. Happy birthday, Nikola Tesla. What is the brain? Is it just a stock-photo off the web? Nope, it is real.

Kevin Bryce - Megasus (5:38) released January 10, 2013 24Bit "Attack of the Clouds" is the second Kevin Bryce album to be released on the Mahorka label. Most of the album falls into the ambient genre, although several of the songs are experiments that resolved successfully enough to be included. "One of the key moments in my musical development was hearing Mussorgsky's 'Pictures at an Exhibition' and realizing that each piece was a sketch or description of an image. The realization that music and sound had the power to describe reality in abstract ways was epiphanic and I have tried to expand on that concept here. Each of these songs is a sketch of something I have seen. As always, what these sketches describe is left to the listener to see. Music as descriptor is a unique and wonderful concept. It can be viewed as a sort of aural reflecting pool, a filtered version of reality, from the eyes of the artist to the ears of the listener. In a way, there is no purer perspective than an image re-imagined into sound. The wide range of timbres, tones and techniques offered to us by technology give us such a spectacular palette to work from. It is fun sometimes to speculate what famous musicians throughout history would have done given the wealth of musical technology today. However, it is even more fun to show you what I would do with this amazing palette of sound." foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Work on 'Luminosphere' material began in 2011 with debut album 'Halcyon Days' released on Mahorka in early 2013. Although not focusing on any particular style, the music can be described as ambient/chillout with a dreamy, optimistic and sometimes melancholic mood. It is meant to aid meditation, thinking and relaxation but it is also suitable for active listening. released January 10, 2013 Special thanks to Vlad Eniu for the cover photo.

Black Vortex - Revelation (7:23) More often than not do we contemplate on the celestial core of our lives and existence. Spontaneously overlooking the very plausible hypothesis as to why we are here, let alone what we are here to do. Pondering on what fruit we bear in our very hands, forgetting how polymorphic the ever-after is to reveal itself; the beyond. For the more one is in sought of the mighty revelation, the uttermost outlook towards the yet unveiled, whether it be through repentance or a simple meditation, the farther it lingers away from him; upto the very moment in space where the revelation hits him, it hits him so hard that one caves into a state of disillusionment where all else drops; the wonder.. The inquiry, the doubt.. The ambience.. the journey. ~ Rehame Zein released August 4, 2013 Written & Produced by: Amir Baloch Mastered by: Amir Baloch www.facebook.com/blackvortex.amir soundcloud.com/aamir-2 Artwork by: Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

He graduated Electronic Music at the Conservatory in Trapani (Sicily). His debut cd release "Inside Implosion" is released in 2008 for the german label Retinascan. Same year he plays at III Congress of Electronic Indipendent Music and at the Live Ixem08 Festival, both in Palermo. At the Volcano Film Fest he introduces his first audiovisual project: "Vdeoad".

In April, together with Messina Carmen, he proposed an audio performance about the historic period of Italian Resistance. "All objects there are can be heard. This is the "trivial" idea that led me to compose Removal. Domestic objects of all kinds: boxes, american tape, pans, appliances, furniture, everything can be taken away in a removal. Composed entirely of concrete sounds, then processed through my laptop." released November 8, 2013 *(02/05/2021) this is a back-catalog bandcamp reupload, not a new Mahorka release ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Infragreen - Another Fantastic Planet (Revisited by Polygon Ring) (4:54) 10 months and 10 days ago Mahorka was proud to unleash upon the world the wonderful Another Fantastic Planet by Infragreen. In the span of this time the tracks from the EP took a life of their own via the minds and hands of several producers, who twisted, bent, broke, realigned and stripped down to their bare bones the tracks to take you on a trip to a new stellar system of fantastic planets. Balkansky's crunchy beats sound like the hatching of thousands of alien eggs, and Tim Koch leads you on a mission to a place where 8½-bit digital beings have taken over. Stèv whisks us back to a calmer space where everything is in its right place, Black Vortex takes on a safe and well planned ride to witness the event horizon where all that was there is still there, yet only a barely recognizeable image of what it used to be, and then Infragreen himself reveals the inner world of those who inhabit the system. Daologic enter the void and even lost in space they knot ahead with the steady pace of a well trained crew, and following in their ion trails there is Jad Atoui's asteriod belt with its fragments firmly held in structure by the gravity that drives it all. First Kid in Roma offers a sneak peek into the lives of beings who are comfortable in a place where time flows in many layers, and Jad Atoui offers a full view of this system's somewhat murky star. In the end, Polygon Ring wraps up the trip with an epic tale that about the battles and peaceful times that this star has witnessed. released December 14, 2013 release number: mhrk120 final mastering: Ivan Shopov cover artwork: Angel Draganov photo: Panayot Savov review text: Angel Draganov concept and execution: Ivo Petrov (cc) Mahorka, 2013 24Bit except tracks 4 & 6 ----------------------- foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

In his second EP Zach Bridier again combines digital era electronic music with analog electronics, acoustic instruments, vocals, voices, short field recordings, again collaborates with throughout-the-music-spectrum set of artist, again producing a synergistic fusion of styles and influences. And pushing it all further. While in "Throwing" one can hear Zach perfecting the art of short and "simple" songwriting and composition, cutting short the song structure dogmas (for good), for "Catching" we have tracks that tend to be longer and with much more layers, denser (call it less sterile, but not less carefully crafted) sonic spectrum and representing a much broader mix of compositional, performance and production approaches, realised into the epic sequel we have here. Full collaborating artist credits appear on the cover artwork and so do the song lyrics, including the ones for Benadiction's spectacular rap on "Don't Tickle Me". Zach also had the opportunity to use a Minimoog for the EP recording sessions and you will hear how he did not miss the opportunity to do so. released January 10, 2014 Produced & Mixed by: Zach Bridier Mastered by: Ian Miller.

DaoLogic - Source Vive (4:14) The music in "Source Vive", as always with the instrumental/electronic collective from St. Petersburg, Russia, comes from things the project members stumble upon, dive in, jump on or just find themselves surrounded by. "Harmony and meditation, sleep and thinking, movement and perception". Yet another convergent set of inspirations - yet another downtempo chillout electronica journey happening through convergent set of space and time frames. For "Source Vive" DaoLogic utilize a different new set of live and sampled acoustic and electronic instruments, blend them into their trademark warm and crispy programming of beats and atmospheres. You enter through the DaoLogic portal for a journey that runs smoothly, without extrasistoles, throughout. And that is worth explicitly noting, knowing how the album is sprinkled with one of their ever braver spectrums of tiny (or not that much) stylistical spicings. From prog-rocky synth lines of the welcome track, through the jazzy pianos, jingly singing guitars and brass, the uptempo trippiness of "Rush Tuxedo" transmuting into the beatless "Reset Earth", setting the stage for forgotten tribes' languages and rhythms... reaching the epic ambient electronica synthwork time machine that is the title track "Source Vive", the last in this album. released January 27, 2014 Cover photo by: DaoLogic Cover artwork by: Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01. Other Matter - Hydrocarbon Seas Of Titan (1:14:17) "The joint NASA-ESA Cassini space probe, exploring Saturn and her moons, has revealed extraordinary lakes and seas of liquid methane around the north pole of Titan. Scientists associated with the Cassini mission described a strange rectangular area of large seas, picked out by imaging instruments aboard the probe. The total volume of Ligeia is put at 9000 cubic kilometers and it is filled not with water, but with hydrocarbon fluids. The total volume of the hydrocarbon Titanic seas corresponds to around 300 times that of Earth’s oil reserves, in a celestial body smaller than Earth. The RADAR reflectivity suggests that the lakes are mainly filled with methane alongside a few other heavier hydrocarbon fluids. These include ethane and nitrogen. Alongside Ligiea sits another sea, Kraken. Comparable in size to the Caspian Sea here on Earth, Kraken is four or more times the area of Ligeia. Cassini will return to carry out bathometry of it in August 2014." Here is a preview of the sounds recorded by spacecraft.

Wayab - I don't exist 10 (8:06) Wayab is the main solo project by Nikola Marinov, who also has released on Mahorka under the Kanalen Pluh alter-ego. Wayab was "created" through Nikola's earliest sound explorations and has since produced a steady output of released and unreleased material, starting with defining debut album "Tales From The Transcendent" [ODP, 2008]. Wayab comes from Mayan and means "dreamer". And, on the other hand, a "dreamer" is defined as "a visionary, an idealist, a person who dreams habitually, a person who lives in or escapes to a world of fantasy or illusion, escapist and most importantly a person guided more by ideals than by practical considerations." With Wayab, just as with Kanalen Pluh, frequency and time domains provide the medium for the abstract language allowing expression of visions and views, feelings and emotions, ideas and critique, where words fail. released April 5, 2014 Cover artwork: Angel Draganov Artwork photo: Nikola Antonov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01. nobodisoundz - joan's kunst alma slowly rises (4:28) 02. nobodisoundz - cliff is still in twenty8 room (4:35) 03. nobodisoundz - jan ^^ crowns radiant child (2:50) 04. nobodisoundz - mike lights a barcelona line (3:37) 05. nobodisoundz - jakkson drips all over land (4:00) 06. nobodisoundz - colors from nicola over sees (2:28) Dreamy ambient songs about ghost painters. released April 19, 2014 ----------------------- foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Kevin Bryce - Crowded cloud (bonus track) (4:48) 24Bit "Fractal landscape" is the chronicle of a journey through an imaginary world. Inspired in part by Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently books, it is meant to inspire a sense of connectedness to all things. "Every single aspect of a piece of music can be represented by numbers. From the organisation of movements in a whole symphony, down through the patterns of pitch and rhythm that make up the melodies and harmonies, the dynamics that shape the performance, all the way down to the timbres of the notes themselves, their harmonics, the way they change over time, in short, all the elements of a noise that distinguish between the sound of one person piping on a piccolo and another one thumping a drum - all of these things can be expressed by patterns and hierarchies of numbers. And in my experience the more internal relationships there are between the patterns of numbers at different levels of the hierarchy, however complex and subtle those relationships may be, the more satisfying and, well, whole, the music will seem to be. In fact the more subtle and complex those relationships, and the further they are beyond the grasp of the conscious mind, the more the instinctive part of your mind - by which I mean that part of your mind that can do differential calculus so astoundingly fast that it will put your hand in the right place to catch a flying ball - the more that part of your brain revels in it." - from "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" by Douglas Adams released May 20, 2014 foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01. Wayab - Qualia (52:21) Maybe the most important question that could be asked in art is how is it even possible for it to be perceived. How can one be councious of it, of himself, of anything at all? Some say counciousness does not exist. But if it is so how are we aware of ourselves trying to make sense of these words? Or of the sounds we are about to hear? Some say counciousness is an illusion. But if it is then what is it trying to delude? There is nothing about which existence we are so sure but we are at the same time so uncapable to prove or explain. And the only proof we have is trapped inside our minds - ineffable, incommunicable to the outside world. "In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true is true or becomes true, within certain limits to be found experientially and experimentally. These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. In the mind, there are no limits... In the province of connected minds, what the network believes to be true, either is true or becomes true within certain limits to be found experientially and experimentally. These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. In the network's mind there are no limits." --John C.

Parchim - Pustoshi-II (4:46) 04. Parchim - Lucem (6:32) 05. Parchim - Forsthaus (5:59) The project "Parchim", named after a small town lost somewhere on the map of Eastern Germany, is from the Russian city Rostov-on-Don. "Parchim" was created in 2008 to transmit dictaphone experiments, investigations of the presence of the gods in the world of people, the memory of passed generations and mythological poeticizing of reality. The main trends of the project are neomythological ego, poetry of the setting sun, archetypical avenues of being, somnambulistic dreams and the spirit of "Eternal return". The material on "Pustoshi", their second release on Mahorka, was initiated by the mythological East Slavic heritage and, particularly, by the Russian folk fairy-tales. Thus, in the track "Vasilisa" one can hear an extract from the fairy-tale "Vasilisa the Beautiful", that is rich of symbols and images skillfully depicted by the Russian artist Ivan Bilibin. Forsthaus и Lucem represent the travel by the lake of dreams, either an unknown longing for death, or a euphoria for a forgotten life. Pustoshi I и II are traceries made of ritual techno that appeared somewhere in subconsciousness; internment ceremonies on the swampy fields of unmown grass. released June 29, 2014 Artwork design: Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

METEK + nobodisoundz - LONg grEy miST, sEt the seasoN on FIRE (44:23) "LONg grEy miST, sEt the seasoN on FIRE" is a collaboration between prolific soundmakers METEK and nobodisoundz, both already having their solo releases on Mahorka. For this initiative they began exchanging sounds with idea of producing a collaboration track. The idea developed with more tracks finished, utilizing two initial sound sources (samples) from each artist for each track. "We try to find a common denominator so as to deliver unique new sound environment (for us)". The selection of finished tracks was mixed in a one-track sound journey which we present to you here. At the time they started to work on the collaboration, nobodisoundz was reading a graphic novel about ecology, named Saison Brune by Philippe Squarzoni (available here: www.editions-delcourt.fr/special/saisonbrune/). And this is where much of the inspiration for the music, the title of the release itself and the play of capital and small letters in it that can also read "ON EST EN FIRE” (in french / english) come from.

Kanalen Pluh - Death Smile (8:40) "Never seen a sky" is Nikola Marinov's second album as Kanalen Pluh (Канален Плъх, meaning 'sewer rat' in Bulgarian) to be released on Mahorka. At the same time it is his debut for this alter-ego and was published back in 2009 (believe it or not) on the long defunct label Karton Network. This album has a more ambient body and pinch of psychedelic spicing and to us, interestingly enough, feels as a deeper dive through parts of his Mahorka debut and introduction to Kanalen Pluh that is "Escapism". On the other hand you will find moments of "Never seen a sky" that strike as preludes to what was to come in "Escapism". Either way or both it is time of sewer rituals and (beware) rat fever once again. released October 12, 2014 artwork: cookie ----------------------- foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Moki Mcfly - Framework (2:25) "OSIRUS V: Coming Forth by Day" is the Mahorka debut of Moki Mcfly, a music producer from Manila, Philippines, known for his atmospheric instrumental productions, incorporating sound elements from nature and extensive use of jazz and tagalog samples. Warm, inviting washes of liquid sounds, jazz-influenced arrangements and intricate production are forged and kept from drifting too far into introspection by a powerful pensive vein, but build slowly into a storm of fuzzy synth sounds and clattering drums. Despite its origins in change and unrest, "OSIRUS V: Coming Forth by Day"'s sense of internal reflection and flow imbues every moment of this record - from the obvious discourse of the album title, through song titles that seem reflections of non-linear change to the music itself and the synthesis of the future and the primitive. An EP that reflects a narrative take on the stretch of its deity. released October 24, 2014 ----------------------- foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Moki Mcfly - 93033 (2:23) Armozel (or Osirus II) is Moki Mcfly's second release on Mahorka and part of the 5 EPs conceptual project that started with his debut on the label Osirus V. The creative energy in this particular EP is directed towards building textures very subtle in a deep granular discourse. The most visceral sound designs in the series tend to occur during short abstractions, but here in Armozel Moki took some of those ideas and explored them at length, filling the tracks with details that can take some time to soak in. On headphones, you can explore the music one motif at a time, as if each track was a small landscape. Bird sounds and distant noises are subtly there so as to function subliminally while the closer, central space is occupied by swirl deep bass, stop-start drums and a continual surging synth lines that sound like swarms of bugs. And then there are distant, echoing keyboard lines that haunt certain tracks like ghosts growing out of the chords that swell underneath. They slip in and out of phase with the underlying drums in a manner that imparts an extra measure of calm uneasiness. Given the music's hermetic feel, one can easily sense that this is a period where analog synthesis is reaching full maturity and digital synthesis is in its earlier stages, when the tape-driven Mellotron manifests in space with the digital fairlight and divine timbres are being explored. These tracks unfurl, grow, shrink, but they don't exactly form at a certain convention, at least not in some expected way. The layering of the various sounds offers a different way each time one goes through, the tone and emotional content varying according to what one chooses to pay attention to. There are sounds behind sounds and sounds underneath sounds and you can find yourself sifting through the layers, turning the pieces inside-out. released December 11, 2014 ----------------------- foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Leaver + Portable Elephant + Weinberger - Raincircle (live @ ДOМ кafé) (16:24) Rainmaking is a weather modification ritual performed to invoke rain. On June 7th 2014 the weather in Pleven, Bulgaria not only self-invoked the rain, but conducted its own ritual as well. A ritual now known as dronemaking, a sound modification act invoking sustained tones, textural build-ups and blurry melodic progressions with voices sinking in, floating or leading the gathering. And so a rain circle was formed, to transform the water in sound, which was transmitted through five individuals in a collaboration that is highly likely to never be repeated. At least not under those very same night rain drops. released January 10, 2015 Weinberger & The Elephant Leaver Quartet is: Leo Weinberger (Weinberger) – voices Kaloyan “Zappa” Ivanov (Portable Elephant, TFSL) – guitars & fuzz Angel “Profesora” Draganov (Polygon Ring, Portable Elephant) – bass, field recordings, textures Daniel D(r)on(e)chov (Leaver, Expectations) – guitars, slides & delay Angel Simitchiev (Mytrip, Leaver) – high-frequencies, micro korg, selfies Raincircle was accidentally (per)formed and recorded at ДOМ кafé, Pleven.

Autonomaton - Refugee (3:20) Our planet’s rotation makes stars in the sky appear to shift positions. But one of them bright bodies happens to occupy a still position in the northern sky, while all the others revolve around it (yeap, that circular star trails long exposure night sky photos). The “star that does not walk”, the ("surprisingly" named so) Polar star, is the one closest to the Earth’s axis of rotation. Always providing the direction of North, it has guided sailors, travelers on land, armies and lone warriors, slaves escaping to the free lands, shamans, scholars and astronomers since the dawn of history. Located 434 light-years from Earth, our current north polar star Polaris has a luminosity of nearly 4,000 times that of our sun. It contracts and expands, varying its brightness every few days. The single point of light that we see as Polaris is actually a triple star system, or three stars orbiting a common center of mass - Polaris A (the supergiant), Polaris Ab (the "close" companion, orbiting 2 billion miles from Polaris A) and (the much farther away) Polaris B. Also known as the Alpha Ursae Minoris, Polaris is the brightest star in Ursa Minor (“Smaller bear” or “Smaller dipper”) constellation. In Greek mythology Polaris was identified with Typhon, the “father of all monsters”, with authority over the gods, that battled Zeus. In ancient Egyptian art, the Set animal, or Sha, is a chimerical beast, the totemic animal of the god Set. Sha is depicted as a slender dog, resembling a greyhound or a jackal, with a stiff tail. Set was identified with the Greek Typhon and the animal is also commonly known as the Typhonic beast or even Set-Typhon. The constellation Ursa Minor (“Smaller bear”) is commonly visualized as a baby bear with Polaris at the end of an unusually long tail. In some older traditions it is depicted as a dog though, which sensibly explains both the length of the tail and the obsolete alternate name of Cynosura (“the dog's tail”) for Polaris in ancient times. The North Pole Star is called Dhruva Nakshatra in Sanskrit literature. This identification is said to be coming from Dhruva, devotee of the supreme god Vishnu in Hindu mythology. In Hawaiian mythology, the pole star is called Kiopa'a. In Chinese mythology, Emperor Zhuanxu is mentioned as a god of the Pole Star. Myōken Bodhisattva (or Myōken Bosatsu in Japanese) is a bodhisattva, who is the deification of the North Star. Polaris appears infrequently on the (native american) Lakota artefacts, but always prominently. They call Polaris Wichapi Owanjila, "the Star that always stands in one place." The other stars are said to be moving in a "dance circle" around it, paying homage to it. The Lakota claimed that Polaris was emblematic of the way that all of creation moved around Wakan Tanka, "that-which-moves-moving-things". On objects, it often appears on top of the axis mundi (world-tree), which looks much like the star on the christmas trees people use today... The wobble, or precession of the Earth's axis will change the position of our planet’s poles over many years. In just a short period of time (of about 500 years or so), Polaris will no longer be our Polar Star. released February 1, 2015 cover artwork by Angel Draganov, using public domain photography ----------------------- foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

In-between Wavelength - Deep Into Space (30:25) An ambient/drone side project of Nicolas, taking his more minimal riffs outside the heavy psychedelic Brussels based band Wavelength and extending them beyond time & space, In-between Wavelength is all about atmospheres, recurring vibes and traveling experiences - looking into the unknown and hearing what's inside our minds. Wavelength started in early 2012 in the wake of the retro & occult rock scene and is still in constant development. Tim and Nicolas started jamming tighter and were quickly followed by Zoé on vocals. With things getting more and more serious and wanting to develop, stretch and compliment things even further they recruited Pablo on drums and Gaylord on bass. Out of this 5-piece band came some ideas and outtakes of more minimal work, things that were not fitting in a more conventional, "rock" band context. Nicolas took those ideas to the next level and shaped them into concrete work, having the possibility to fully go into the experimental, atmospheric and minimal sound. Most of the tracks were recorded here and there at Nicolas's home studio during a period of 2 years, between 2012 and 2014. Having received positive feedback and warm welcomes during that time, it was decided a debut EP of what was to become the In-between Wavelength side project to be featured on the Bulgarian indie ambient/experimental/electroacoustic/etc music specialist label Mahorka in early 2015. All instruments and sounds performed and recorded by Nicolas. Featured is Tim (of Wavelenth) on the ever incisive guitar parts on track 3. Les paul guitar parts appear on tracks 1 to 3. Electro-harmonics effects used: small stone, holiest grail, big muff, flanger hoax, graphic fuzz and memory man + moog ring modulator on tracks 1 to 3; e-bow + rainstick on track 1.

BHE - The Spirit [16.4 Hz] (6:41) BHE (Binaural Headset Experiment), created by Simeon Dotkov (Mokushi, Animassacre) is a project aiming to recreate visual imagery through frequencies and sound design. It is a synesthesia inducing experience achieved through tampering with the stereo, frequency shifts and surreal reverberations. All of it is designed to create complex geometrical patterns and multidimensional shapes through algorithmic calculation of each sound in time. The main purpose, however, was to test existing scientific data on brainwave patterns and their susceptibility to isochronic and binaural stimuli. Needless to say, every piece of sound designed in BHE, has a measurable effect on different listeners, but this can be said for any type of music. The difference here is the attempt to lessen the grip of emotions and focus solely on the pure effect of the frequency stimulation and the innermost being of the listener, similar to Samadhi meditation. Even though, the sound could have been more effective without the assistance of rhythm and melody, BHE is first and foremost a musical project, so the subliminal sound appears audible, recognizable, but also harmonic and rhythmic. "Remember" is BHE's (and Simeon Dotkov's) debut album on Mahorka. released May 18, 2015 All music and sound recorded, produced, generated and composed by Simeon Dotkov.

Saint Null - The Sound of Non-existent Machines (24:30) Saint Null is a Bulgarian sound artist on the noise/ambient divide, conjuring up textures between meditative bliss and metropolitan noise pollution. In his debut release on Mahorka "The Sound of Non-existent Machines" the space is vast, and mostly cold.

Bear in mind that this is not your usual mix of tracks following each other. You do have the seamless transitions, but one track playing at a time is a very rare occassion and, instead, two or three tracks are playing simultaneously throughout most of the set, with some of them tracks fading out just to pop up again (and even again) later on. And there you have a completely new way of listening to the tracks, a composition of compositions, a perfect trip through Mahorka that 4T Thieves recorded as part of the Netlabel Day celebrations!

Nik also, quite notably, has been the manager of Kahvi Collective since 2001 (after taking over from Vae after he threatened to remove the site from the web 'due to lack of time'). Since then Kahvi.org has gone from strength to strength, being featured in national press, on BBC World, and has definitely arrived at 'cult' status (apparently long time ago already). With the advent of the netlabel scene 4T Thieves has kept producing music and has been released throughout the years on, besides Kahvi Collective, two other scene-defining netlabels - Monotonik and Miasmah. In 2015, for the occassion of the first Netlabel Day to be celebrated internationally, 4T prepared a special "Mahorka Classics" mashup, featuring tracks from throughout the catalogue of this one other pioneer-become-cult netlabel. A bit later in the same year "Glass EP", featuring new and previously unpublished music by 4T Thieves, was released exclusively on Mahorka. "Glass EP" contains four tracks that were written during a "boards of canada" phase of his and, thus, sound in a way similar to other 4T Thieves tracks from such phases. At the same time the music is noticably more ambientish than his usual work. A new technique for most of the percussions was used - samples of wood scrapings and doors being closed, thoroughly edited. Through the EP we are also cycling through some other uncharted territorries, especially with the "Underground mix" of "Corridors", which 4T describes as "boards of canada and orbital mixed" lanes and which gave us a little well done trance music deja vu. released August 12, 2015 Cover artwork: Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

This is also Julien Palomo first time officially going solo after the numerous exceptional free jazz and other collaboration works, being 1/2 of the duo Other Matter together with guitarist Michel Kristof, that has also three albums released on Mahorka + "Saucerful of secrets" on a Mahorka Pink Floyd Tribute, and after producing over 45 records on Improvising Beings. "Boubi's Library" was named and sort of defined much much after the project actually came in to being, evolution and music material accumulation, half-consciously and half-sponteneously, during night solo synths and electronics improvisation sessions Julien Palomo had at his studio in Paris. "I have been toiling in the dark, really..." until what was the 23d such night session where Julien recorded what was to become "Melatonin For Angels" (on this release) and got it that he just has to put some of this music out. To start shelving selected pieces in a library. "To do that or go mad." That is when Julien approached Mahorka and we started preparing this 2-tome volume as "Boubi's Library" debut release. Tome 1: Melatonin For Angels Tome 2: The Real Face 1~4 The music is repetitive in character but evolving surprisingly much, both in terms of the repetitive patterns and of natural and smooth more abrupt phase transitions. And although this all seems to has pretty much gone far from the artists' main inspirations and approaches, namely free jazz, the influence is still there and one cannot help but feel that, even through the mentronomic pulsations and electro synths in place. released October 24, 2015 Julien Palomo: MicroKorg, Solina String Ensemble, Mellotron M4000d, Mellotron MkVI, Farfisa VIP 233.

Whenever we listen carefully, we come to hear that music is around us all the time. Noise is no longer unwanted sound.

Artificial real-world environments though. He "camped" around factories, mines, construction areas, power plants, etc. Then he recorded tracks live in the studio, first creating initial sound evironments and then letting the feedback of hearing how the MIDI-controlled mannipulations affect the sound drive their evolution.

Captive Portal - Lecture Tomb (20:21) 24Bit Every January, a group of philosophers met in a cave somewhere in Colorado. They got together for three days to think and philosophize about life and the universe around them. However, the 1887 meeting became a faithful one. The three day event became a week long discussion about life beyond this world. During this time, they disregarded the essentials of life, such as eating and sleeping. Therefore, all of whom were attending this event suffocated themselves to death in their own philosophy. This unnamed cave became their tomb. released December 14, 2015 Lecture Tomb was composed on two separate occasions: September 30 & November 4, 2015 All sounds are original.

Faex Optim - SoftBall (2:33) (24Bit) Faex Optim is an electronic musician from Edinburgh, UK, whose musical style frequently portrays a warm, ambient texture with overtones of magical chords and melody. Coming originally from a math/post-rock background (with sporadic incursions in electronica), he started producing electronic music in earnest in early 2014. His two EPs released the following year got exceptional critical acclaim and support, notably appearing on Igloo Magazine's Best of 2015. 4T Thieves has been putting out beautiful electronic music scince the early demoscene days. He also, quite notably, has been the manager of the notorious Kahvi Collective since 2001. In 2015, for the occassion of the first Netlabel Day, 4T prepared a special "Mahorka Classics" mashup, featuring IDM/electronica/ambient tracks from throughout our catalogue. A bit later in the year we released his "Glass EP". For the December 2015 holidays, to perfectly end an year of great music, we welcome Faex Optim on board with his debut on Mahorka and welcome back 4T Thieves once again. 'Fulcrum' is a 3 by 3 tracks split EP from the two artists.

"Johannes Leo Weinberger is me, too. I am struggling against my senses, and i live in peace with the imaginary. I will die hungry, and i want to eat the world, including all the sickness of it.

MO. - Foe Foe (Protuberance space chill remix) (7:02) 24Bit A follow-up to his Dec’2014 “Recollections” album on Mahorka, the mini-album “Recollections – part 2”, comprises of compiled Protuberance musical creations that were produced mostly throughout 2015. What has been recollected, as with the first part, is selected and specifically created for the release abstract atmospheric sound sculptures that combine yet more different variety of electronic music approaches and influences and more exclusive collaborations. The opening track “I am Protuberance” is also, as the name suggests, a statement, a logotype and a highlight not only of this release, but also for the project as a whole, representing his unique way of combining clean techno-breaks, deep and hypnotizing ambient pads and a sprinkle of what can only be called IDM within this huge trademark sound of his. Integral part of the cosmic composition are also field recordings from natural environments (in this case - by the lake) and sampled voice recordings, also Protuberance trademarks. The out of this world track is repainted by rės, who takes us on a journey to yet another, parallel, world. The “M Class Solar Flare A” remix has the deeply beautiful classic quality IDM sound and carefully crafted warm analog patterns, that make it appear like a gem found on the B-side of some old vinyl and totally out of tune with the contemporary plastics. The release also features Protuberance collaborating with the young guitarist BlackpicK. Over selected moments from live-recorded guitar improvisations two very different cosmic trips through the world of abstract electronica were built. “Sun eclipse”, the producer admits, is hugely influenced by the biomechanical rhythm structures of Autechre from the 90s with some lush synths and New York street field recordings. On the other hand, we have the rhythm-less “Higgs particle” incorporating the live guitar and snippets from a physics lecture into an ether of deep pads and synthetic noise. BlackpicK is Tsenko Ivanov, 22 years old by the time of the recordings and these two collaborations on „Recollections – part 2” are his debut on an “official” release. As for Protuberance – this is the first time he works with a live musician and has the opportunity to record and manipulate electronic guitars. The “Protuberance space chill remix” of MO.’s “Foe Foe” was exclusively done for Mahorka some time ago and just might be the first glimpse of another special remix EP to come. For now, it naturally came as the endpoint of the “Recollections – part 2” cosmic journey, where we’re taken back not only to Earth orbit, but also over Bulgaria, before we land with the perfect album closing. released April 4, 2016 foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Peter Davidson - Premonition Two (Creation) (3:39) Peter Davidson's debut album on Mahorka, "Antenna", released as free digital download and limited edition cassette, can be thought of a trip through what the artist has been up to with his solo music - some revisited beatiful compositions that might have or might have not appeared elsewhere and some glimpses of where he is headed, currently, through tracks, exclusively recorded for this special release that slowly evolved and took shape for period of more than year and a half. ...Quantum field highlights and the effects of using them, experiencing new ones... "While working on Antenna, I went through the wires - meaning my catalogue of tracks, sounds and soundscapes. Some few were previously considered or even slightly released on compilations of my own, yet not very discovered or heard, by many, so I felt they deserved a second shot. For the most tracks, I wanted to catch an immediate presentation, as in a band - situation where things happen a little bit out of deliberate or control. This is rare these days, at least with electronic music, as most is programmed and adjusted into steady perfection and the blocks of lego lead the composer and listener into a grid a bit too firm and predictable. To explain it simply, I went into live-sessions. With a few synths, Theremini, hand drums, fretless bass. And I only did overdubs if necessary. I also chose sounds on random, letting numbers decide, if it sounded good I went with it. All was recorded into a digital eight track. Most tracks depict the solitude of west coast Sweden where I reside, and carry a simple drone as a base, and then fly off on a few melodies and chords. I hope you enjoy Antenna." Peter Davidson.

Genda - Fail (original mix) (3:05) It is the third time that an "Eastern Depths" compilation encompasses a unique and rich pallette of deep abstract electronics from Bulgaria. After the first two volumes, released on the Cold Fiction label, USA, the herepresented third edition is (proudly) 100% Bulgarian - from all the artists, through the curation and mastering, to the cover artwork photo and design. And it comes as no surprise that it was arranged to be released with the Bulgarian netlabel-pioneers Mahorka, which have already released music from some of the participating producers. Collaborating with the "Eastern Depths" team, the label achieved another, pending and on hold for many years (Svetlozar Anev, hello!), goal - to put out a Mahorka (think unconvetional/experimental/abstract) techno compilation. The "Eastern Depths" idea dates back to some uncharted and undated random meeting of the main people behind the project on some unremembered different occasion. Already devoted to promoting the Bulgarian underground electronic producers at home and abroad, Ivelin Iliev (Protuberance) and Stanislav Genadiev (Genda) decided to unite their efforts and work on a compilation series project together. This third volume's sonic exploration map was charted by Stanislav Genadiev, who curated and arranged the tracks on the album, doing his best to take us on a trip through some of the deepest depths of the Bulgarian electronic music scene. We take off with heavy dub and ambient techno sound and we pass by and through experimental breaks, glitches, clicks and cuts, deep atmospheres, wall-of-sound moments, just a sprinkle of acid and few emotional IDM melodic and rhythmic incursions. released June 12, 2016 Curated and arranged by: Stanislav Genadiev Mastering by: Stanislav Genadiev and Ivelin Iliev Cover artwork design: Angel Draganov Artwork photo: Milen Milanov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Sai - Of chaos - A sunday morning drill (5:44) Sai is a dedicated studio project of Yasen Penchev that has been evolving a lot throughout the years. At its core lies experimentation with both analogue and digital recording techniques, as well as extensive use of various string instruments. The end results vary from minimalistic ambient atmospheres to furious polyrhythmic drum patterns syncopated with ultra-low- tuned guitars and progressive structures. Sai's music is usually fitted under the Post rock, Math rock, Ambient and Trip rock genre labels. Sai's debut album on Mahorka "Perspective seen from different points of view" is an act of mixing heavily-proccessed (and just sometimes clean) guitar tones, melancholic soundscapes,sparse effects, mindless shredding and complex drumming. All song structures evolve gradually, leading from one mood to another, with rich harmonic textures and odd-time groove changes.The first part of the album ("Of order") is soft and melancholic, relying mainly on melodic and harmonic combinations, while the second part ("Of chaos") is more agressive, based exlclusively on time signature changes and low and distorted guitar riffs. released July 3, 2016 All music by: Yasen Penchev - bass, guitars, keys, drum programming Cover artwork design: Angel Draganov Cover artwork photo: Yasen Penchev ----------------------- foobar2000 1.3.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Secret Silence covers a wide stylistical range from abstract soundscapes to song-like tracks. Some of the musical ideas of this project are derived from my previous work in film scoring which is why it has somewhat of cinematic feel. Think of it as a soundtrack for an imaginary movie. During rehearsals with the amazing cello player Andre Ryabinets we added piano and cello parts, wonderfully played by Andre with a great amount of musicality and precision. So it also became a kind of improvisation for cello and piano, extending beyond just electronic tracks. I would also like to thank Diego Mune for his very sensitive electric guitar playing on track 1." -- Art Denisson released August 27, 2016 Polyphonics is an alter-ego project by composer and musician Art Denisson where he comes up with a unique mergers of electronics, electroacoustics and acoustics. "Secret Silence" is the project's debut on Mahorka. The release also features Andre Ryabinets on cello and Diego Mune on electric guitar apart from Art Denisson on piano, electronics and all else.

Despair can be the nadir of one life and the starting point of an ascent into another, better one. ― Dean Koontz Exactly two years after embracing us in the weightlessness of its raw noise ambient Deffektegg is reaching for our throats again. His chokehold is stronger and more intoxicating than ever. If so far Deffektegg’s music felt as if you are observing a dead body becoming one with the black waters of the sea, Nadir is like a subconscious self-immolation. For 50 minutes you will be feeling nothing else but your insides scorching so your remains can feed the relieving cold soil of existence. Deffektegg reached nadir between 2015 & 2016 released September 1, 2016 All music and photography by Yavor Grancharov amek010 / mhrk177 Released on tape (ltd. 35) via Amek: amekcollective.blogspot.bg. 5 copies made available through the Mahorka bandcamp release page. Press quotes: "Music that is on the edge of drone, but also reaching for the more experimental realms and that entire works quite well." ~ Vital Weekly "Мъгла, разкъсвана от електрически искри и настръхващи звуци със загадъчен произход. Почти час през бледите полета на въображението." ~ Lunatic.bg "Gorgeous.

Hypnos - Light Output (11:05) Hypnos is a project of Bulgarian producer Stanislav Genadiev, a reflection of his fascination with spiritualism, hypnotic imagery, hypnosis and the way they have entered our lives and become part of our society. Under the Hypnos artist alias he has put out a good number of quality hard hitting and techy but also atmospheric electronic music releases. From 2015 on he's been performing live techno rituals around - mostly festivals and clubs around Sofia, but more recently also some arts/cultural centers with more chill and abstract sounds. On Mahorka Hypnos first appeared on "Eastern Depths vol.3" with Stanislav Genadiev being also a main driving force behind that compilation's conception and realization. Now our catalog is also home of "Delusion Achiever" - a deep dive into the unchartered abstract ambient realms of Hypnos and a transcendental trip through dry and dense sound walls and intimate moments of mesmerizing melancholia morphing slowly one back to the other. A mindblowing debut release for Stanislav on the label. released September 13, 2016 Cover artwork: Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01. EMERGE - I (26:30) EMERGE is inspired by the minimalist traditions of experimentalism and non-academic noise music, focusing on generating sound structures intended to make atmospheres emerge that are open to each listener’s own interpretation. The choice of sound sources used is usually very limited. In most cases only rudiments of the original sounds are recognizable due to various treatments. EMERGE also uses and recycles raw material from a variety of artists/musicians. For this special live collaboration with MARTAVICTOR (live calligraphy), EMERGE for the very first time only used his own voice and effects solo without any pre-recordings. MARTAVICTOR (Martina Vodermayer) interacted to the sounds by EMERGE and visualized the sounds created in real-time. released October 16, 2016 ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01. 4t Thieves - Summertide (6:32) 02. 4t Thieves - The Digital Lagoon (6:24) (24Bit) 03. 4t Thieves - Vignette (2:24) (24Bit) 04. 4t Thieves - Ever Increasing Circles (7:02) (24Bit) A hot, humid, tropical lagoon. This imagery could not escape us when we first got to hear at the peak of this year's summertide what was to become 4t Thieves's brand new EP titled "The Digital Lagoon". And it is not just the title and the less or more noticable sound bits there. The water, the humidity, the heat, the trees and the rain gradually building up is really what the music here is intentionally the official soundtrack to. With the perfect closing track that "Ever Increasing Circles" is one cannot help but feel the accumulated rainbits finally dropping on the lagoon's surface. "The Digital Lagoon" is the second solo EP on Mahorka from the Kahvi boss, after his "Glass EP" from 2015, in which he introduced his new approach of using thoroughfully edited found sounds for as percussion sounds, also utilized here. It is actually his third EP on the label, counting the mesmerizing and airborne 4t Thieves/Faex Optim 3x3 split we also released in 2015. And then, we should also mention that this is Nik's 4th release with us altogether, remembering that he first came up to us with that spectacular Netlabel Day selected Mahorka backcatalogue mashup trip that totally deserved a release with us and got it. released November 12, 2016 Cover artwork: Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

He’s run the long-standing net-label for over a decade, and continues to renew his own sound within the 4T Thieves moniker. On Details, a color spectrum is revealed, lightly doused in low-fi piano keys, ambient interludes, and downtempo trails. In fact, each piece is given a specified color, allowed to ease its way into the subconscious with distilled, nostalgic hues. “Green,” “Aqua,” “Orange,” “Amber,” and “Grey” seamlessly verge into Boards of Canada-influenced vivid surrealism. While not entirely parallel, however, the sonic themes segue through a myriad of melody strands, pleasant and uplifting for these trying times. And just as 4T Thieves releases this 7-pack extended suite, tranquil and mildly steering vintage synths, this third EP for Mahorka oozes instrumental percussive bits and melancholic vistas." -- Igloo Magazine released January 29, 2017 Cover artwork: Igor Romanov (photo) and Angel Draganov (design) ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Acrossthevacuum - Across the Vacuum (23:37) 02. Acrossthevacuum - Stream (14:37) 03. Acrossthevacuum - Dimensional Waltz (13:02) 04. Acrossthevacuum - Annihilation (Chaos Mix) (10:02) (24Bit) Acrossthevacuum is that project of Boyan Avramov (Teeth of Divine, Changing Perspectives, Loshi Petli) and Asen Santev (Trysth, Upyr) that just had to happen when the two got in touch and jamming together on different occassions and in different contexts. And they just had to have this very special Mahorka Acrossthevacuum session as a debut release. It all started with the idea of some krautrock, incorporating long psychedelic passages with momentary seizures, influenced by proto-electronic music (1 - "Across the Vacuum"). The album's title track then (2 - "Stream") happened most directly and spontaneously and here we go with Boyan vs Asen for а more of a noise composition with slight extreme metal influences that came out most easily and naturally, neatly completing the kind-of-introductory (to the project and to this Mahorka session) A-side. Approaches and overall situation are different on the B-side of the cassette, where, for example, the main theme of the first track (3 - "Diemensional Waltz") came from Boyan's bass playing in a random jam session, which was awesome but in 3/4. Then the hard part was to make the track actually not sound like a waltz. Completing the album (4 - "Annihilation (Chaos Mix)") is the amalgama of an idea that originated from a jam with Trysth, where, while feeding some minimalistic beating out of the machines, Boyan said the word "annihilation" and it got swirled up in a strangely interesting loop. Experiments continued with layering other bad-events-related (that just have that sounding) words and using their summed intonation to form a kind of harmony which Asen loved and threw in some monotrone colours and more love. This album's version of "Annihilation" is actually a mix of all the recorded sessions of the idea, that happened in different spaces and times, with each contributing its own context and charm to the "Chaos Mix". released May 1, 2017 Music by: Boyan Avramov and Asen Santev Cover painting by: Osman Yuseinov Cover design: Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

His music is influenced by classical romanticism and emotional electronica, a mix of emotions that define his style very well. A minimalist approach retains only the essentials, providing a better connection with the listener. aAirial's debut on Mahorka is an extended version of his "Wanderings EP", comprising of the originally self-published 7 tracks, 3 beautiful exclusive piano versions of three of them and one brand new track (Au Gré des Vagues), completing the set. released February 15, 2018 All music, mastering and cover artwork and photo by aAirial. ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01. krāllār - generosity crash test (1:37) 02. krāllār - clones (6:08) 03. krāllār - commander (5:43) 04. krāllār - faster (2:29) 05. krāllār - falla (4:56) 06. krāllār - invocation (3:31) 07. krāllār - kolga (5:17) 08. krāllār - mainliner (5:04) 09. krāllār - micht (4:35) 10. krāllār - washer (5:37) 11. krāllār - 905 (6:48) 12. krāllār - withdrawal (4:52) w/d is krāllār's new full length, co-released by Kontingent Records and Mahorka as free digital download and limited edition tape, featuring 12 devastating compositions.

The 'Parallel Worlds' project is intended as an audio-visual experience. The artwork of Jeroen Advocaat sets the scene with themes of distance, longing, and the alternative paths forged by the choices we make with our every decision.

He has not stopped producing music throughout the years since, ever advancing his sound and exploring newer and newer horizons, and has had releases on, besides Kahvi, most of the scene-defining netlabels - Monotonik, Miasmah, Enough Records, Mahorka and others. 2016 saw the release of his landmark CD album "Silent Sands" on Rednetic Recordings. "Circles" is the fourth solo 4T Thieves EP on Mahorka, after "Glass EP" from 2015, "The Digital Lagoon" from 2016 and "Details" from 2017, and seventh appearance on the label altogether, counting that spectacular Mahorka backcatalogue mashup trip he did for the first ever Netlabel Day in 2015, a mesmerizing and airborne 4t Thieves/Faex Optim split "Fulcrum" we released in 2015 and the featurung of his exclusive track "Cascade" on the VA compilation "Music for elevators vol.5 part 3" by the end of 2017. "Circles" evolved into coherency from a mishmash of different styles and sketches, from free-flowing electro IDM structures ("Jams"), through the always there with 4T Thieves Scottish-Canadian influences ("Interim", "Analogue cool"), to analogue synth ambient epics ("Springy Analogy"), all inspired by experimentation with new types of sounds, new rhythmical structures and new audio hardware and software at his hands, that either made sense and were left as little tasters ("Interim") or naturally evolved into longer tracks ("Layers of obscurity"). released January 6, 2018 Cover artowrk by: Light Ahead and Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

And that was the case that struck us when we got to hear the three fragments of "Collusion" between the Russian avant-garde / experimental / live improvisation duo ASTMA (Alexei Borisov, Olga Nosova) and ambient / drone artist Boban Ristevski from Macedonia. It is the non-musical (atonal and arhythmical) use of musical sounds/instruments and the musical use of non-musical electronic/machine sounds and field noises, all engaging in and disengaging from the integral electroacoustic ambient environments, realized through Alexei Borisov's co-mannipulation and fusion of Boban Ristevski's very own and known sounding ambient synth-work style sketches together with hand-picked bits, pieces, phrases, scenes and murmurs from ASTMA sessions (done at different places and times and in different contexts), that make this recording so special and unique. Alexei Borisov is a musician, composer, sound-artist, producer, journalist and event organizer that lives and works in Moscow and one of the pioneers of the new wave/industrial/electronic/experimental/free improvisation music scene that emerged in beginning of the '80's there. Their duo with Olga Nosova (drummer and vocalist mostly known for her work with Moscow fusion band "Syncopated Silence") is one of the latest and most widely recognized projects to come out of that scene. ASTMA was formed in April 2009 as a collaborative project paying homage to both experimental tradition of Alexei's countless musical reincarnations and Olga's instrumental experience, embracing elements of weird free-form spoken-word psychedelia, acid-punk, live electronics, free jazz, noise, heavy acid, electroacoustics, dub and more. Highly improvisational by conception, naturally ASTMA is collaborating with and seamlessly incorporating various musicians, video-artists, dancers, performers and poets from around the world, both in live situations and in studio environment. ASTMA's first release on Mahorka was their live concert recording from North Carolina, back in 2011. After that they also appeared on the Music For Elevators vol.4 compilation. Boban Ristevski's work is based on exploring mostly the ambient/drone and industrial/noise surfaces. With elements of minimalism / improvisation / experimentalism abstractions and creative use of field recordings his compositions are balancing between more structured forms and the improvised approach to music. He has been releasing music both under his real name and as his Lefterna alter-ego project, including the notable collaborations with Toni Dimitrov as Sound_00 + Lefterna. Boban has debuted on Mahorka with his track "Transcend into light" on the VA - Music For Elevators Vol.5 (Part 3). released January 14, 2018 Cover artwork: Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

The speed of the water was, I guess, about 40 km/h. There was a bridge over the river which was moving within the water like some kind of strange boat. The bridge was coming down to the river, to the point of my embankment. There was a woman driving the bridge. I yelled to her: "Can I get on the bridge? Is the bridge strong enough for my heavyness?" She said: "I guess it is, because it is strong enough to move at this speed without rashes under its own weight." I decided not to try to pass the river. I stayed at my side. Instead I got on a train. In the train somebody stopped near me in the passway and blew tenderly my hair. Instantaneously I heard lovely music in my ears. I said to that person: "Thanks! That's lovely. Nice music!" He said: "You are welcome." In the music the singer proceeded to repeat the words: "nice music... you are welcome..." I heard the music, I guess, by my third ear without headphones or earplugs. After that I've been wanting to find this person who gave me the gift of music. Much later I found him. But that's a long story. *** When music becomes highly structured language it reduces and quantizes its infinities, eternities, spaces, cosmoses to a countable set of possibilities. This is an illusion of the language, as limited, countable and learnable process. Even it is at its origin infinite and unlearnable as the items of an uncountable Cantor set. All the languages are reductions from the infinity of syllable sounds. Each language has its own phonetical and structural, linguistic, syntactic, grammatic base. After all it is an agreement between users and the semiotic game of signs... But what if you meet infinity once again? It is called pre-lingual state of consciousness. Maybe this is pre-lingual music? It meets the infinity but it is without the agreement between the users (at least yet, because of its very experimental nature). You can't play it with anybody or any orchestra -- it is hermetic like vector quantization between Deleuze and Guattari without the philosophical code book. But still it makes some kind of sense, doesn't it? Its pre-genre and pre-lingual, but most importantly, I like to see that it has degenerated and inorganized back to living relation to infinity on as many levels as possible. This makes it crazy and unsure, unconvincing, suspicious, mischievous, deprecatory. It reminds of worlds, which are not our THE World, e.g. a world achievable by our usual senses. Maybe, at its best, it just reminds of the existence of possibilities. Paradigmatic change can put assemblange point to move (to use the appropriate concept of Mr. Castaneda).

While he has stayed busy recording and producing music throughout the years and we have kept compilation tracks, remixes and collaborations coming out in the in-between decade, this outstanding new full-lenth release on Mahorka surely is to bring a much deserved exclusive focus on Sevensy's mesmerizing music. Going through the timeline of the various musical bits and pieces on different collaborative releases on the label, we can follow the evolution of his unique soundcrafting and compositional approaches and now with "Finally Infinite" we get a homogeneous mature milestone album, both modern and timeless. released April 14, 2018 All music composed and arranged by Austin Brooks Paintigs by Jan Brooks Artwork design by Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

It is the outcome of a straight, primordial and creative journey, where natural and artificial sounds, human and machine noises, memories from the past and visions of the future overlap, and all these elements are blended in a meditative and hypnotic flux of sounds. Metaforma represents the call to go beyond the first layer of shape and texture, a true desire for a physical and mental experience, a doorway to a deeper and unusual state of consciousness.

Renzo Peressi - Experimenta (47:22) No doubt Renzo Peressi is the most prolific experimental electronic music artist from Venezuela. For nearly two decades he has released on Mahorka and other labels music ranging from purely electronic experimental glitch, microsound, clicks and cuts (as Abluonihil, KROTOS), through more formulated and organic technoish or ambientish pieces, incorporating field recordings and live instruments (as Mendigo), to more melodic electronica/IDM (as Remell). This first release under his own name presents some much deeper, more complex electroacoustic music, combining many of his different approaches and introducing new ones, merging the boundaries between the different alter-egos and going much further. Renzo started this project more than 3 years ago, in February 2015, laying the backbones of what he meant to become this complete one-piece album. Throughout the many months he spent dedicated moments of studio time integrating more and more ideas and elements in and revisiting and perfecting the whole piece. Natural sounds like water drops and flows went in together with industrial sounds from different machinery. Modified acoustic instruments like violin and flute were added to layers of electronically synthesized sounds. Finally, he played with a broken rhythm and fluctuating BPM to complete this spectacular composition. After finally having finished it, Renzo called the piece "Experimenta", hinting at the intentional lack of specific pre-defined order, structure and approach and the music's intrinsic nature to evolve to be never the same, but the project's working title was "End of a beginning", hinting at how it took almost too long to complete and how he was nearly giving up at times. released November 11, 2018 All music by: Renzo Peressi Cover artwork: Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

His music is influenced by classical romanticism and emotional electronica, a mix of emotions that define his style very well. A minimalist approach retains only the essentials, providing a better connection with the listener. The full-length "Wanderings" builds on and completes the musical journey, the idea that was presented on Mahorka with aAirial's debut release for the label "Wanderings EP" in 2018. The album features brand new tracks, retouched versions of the previously available tracks, as well as exclusive remixes from 4T Thieves, Protuberance and DaoLogic.

This new album is his 4th for the label (including his debut release “Dimension and breaks” from 2013) and his first to come out also as physical edition – a limited edition digipak CD. Again, just as expected from an epic ending of the “Recollections” series, the whole album is an extensive trip through different electronic music genres and influences and all music was done, collected, selected and reworked during a more than two years period. From deep and abstract electronic ambient sound, through inclusions of Kristian Dochev's and BlackpicK's guitars in different tracks with totally different styles of both guitar playing and electronic music on them, composition moments based on loads of atmospheric noises, the rough energy of more rock-breaks crossover electronica and experimental techno, to the soft sprinkles of some classically flowing but with abstract incursions liquid drum and bass and some classical deep house warmth with lovely female vocals – all of the original tracks have that unique Protuberance touch and sound. Sampled are some of Ivelin’s favorite computer games (“Doom 2016”, “Starcraft” and “Starcraft 2”), movies (“Tombstone”, “Aliens”, “Tales from the crypt”), field recordings from industrial warehouses and different natural noises under heavy effects, further contributing to the unique stories told by all different individual tracks and the trip as a whole. The album also includes as integral part of both the digital download and CD editions, together with the original tracks, five very different remixes, from dear to the project producers that complete the trip. Hypnos, who also has a solo release on Mahorka and a forthcoming second one is the Bulgarian artist Stanislav Genadiev – a proffessional dancer and choreographer, but also renowed electronic music producer and DJ under different artist monikers and in different collaborative projects, part of the Roboknob duo and also the person with whom Ivelin worked on “Eastern Depths” compilation series with the latest, third, edition of the compilation coming out on Mahorka. Hypnos has delievered a mindblowing remix of Protuberance’s “Blue Street”, which is the only version of the track included here. Autonomaton is the solo electronic music project of Bulgarian artist, DJ, event organizer and EcoSci label manager Nikolay Stanchov, who has done an outstanding abstact drone ambient rebuild of the album intro original track “Ghost ship”. Greek techno producer and DJ, Billy Niko, has delivered a pumping techno interpretation of “Biomechanical Modulation”. Russian project DaoLogic, who are long-time Mahorka artists and collaborators with few releases and few remixes for other artists on the label. There is a special story to the abstract downtempo electronica remix by the French music composer and producer aAirial of the track "Lonely cowboy and his shadow", that actually closes “Protuberance – Recollections vol.3”. Our release prior to this one was aAirial’s “Wanderings” album, that also, just as this one, came out as a limited edition CD in the beginning of 2019 and included some remixes next to the original tracks. The two CDs were to be manufactured together and so it happened during the artists-label final arrangements that aAirial and Protuberance also delivered excellent remixes to complement each other’s albums. released February 3, 2019 ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01. Thomas Park - The Deeper Root (22:59) 02. Thomas Park - Failsafe (17:23) 24Bit "Having retired as the drone act Mystified, Thomas Park became interested in working on some ideas for live performance. A friend, Jack Hertz, shared a simple piece of html code that would allow a user to mix various sounds together using embedded media players. Thomas worked with the code, developing different versions. Some had video loops, some had more loops or fewer. He also worked on selecting which loops to contain in these mixing consoles, paying attention to how they interacted. The first piece in “Failsafe Root”, “The Deeper Root”, is comprised of percussion loops, which Thomas had originally purchased, and then proceeded to slice into short pieces. These pieces were then given a second iteration using Granulab. The concept was that, by cutting up and reforming beats, it was possible to create new and exciting beat patterns. Adding to this energy is a process of combining them in real time. The second piece, “Failsafe”, is itself a series of loops. In one instance, it exists only as a mixing console. Because the sounds in this console have been carefully selected, and set up to loop in irregular ways, the piece constructs itself. The version of “Failsafe” included in this album was created by allowing the original mixing... more released February 17, 2019 Included are interactive "mixing consoles" to re-create and perform live new versions of the release tracks, you can open them from the following links: - "The Deeper Root" mixing console 1: archive.org/download/mhrk209/a01_The_Deeper_Root_Mixing_Console_1.html - "The Deeper Root" mixing console 2: archive.org/download/mhrk209/a02_The_Deeper_Root_Mixing_Console_2.html - "The Deeper Root" mixing console 3: archive.org/download/mhrk209/a03_The_Deeper_Root_Mixing_Console_3.html - "Failsafe" mixing console: archive.org/download/mhrk209/a04_Failsafe_Mixing_Console.html foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Here Michael Todd has eschewed the dark ambient guitar sounds in favor of a minimalist synth drone approach. Like an electronic version of the Indian tambura these five cosmic drone meditations were crafted and arranged as album to silence one's mind and help reveal more of the listener's true nature to himself. released March 2, 2019 Recorded october 2018 in Englewood Colorado.

FLUIDIAN + E.U.E.R.P.I. - Uranus Session - part 3 (14:34) FLUIDIAN (Emil Gherasim) is transylvanian composer, guitarist and sound artist of works including acoustic and electronic art music, film scores, music for stage performances, live improvised sound textures, soundpaintings and ambiental soundscapes for visuals. His music can be considered to be very personal and deep meditative with a huge visual emotions, combining sound textures with a specific manner of improvisation. E.U.E.R.P.I. is the experimental ambient project of Mirian Kolev from Tryavna, Bulgaria. Almost all his sounds’ original source can be tracked to his guitar with most of the layers being improvised live, which allows for different stylistic and conceptual approaches when performing or recording in different contexts. He has previously released on Mahorka the album "Live in Belgrade", a concert recording release, and has participated in the "Music For Elevators" compilation series of the label and in the "One of these tributes" special tribute project of the label with his version of "Shine on you crazy diamond". The two artists have known each other and communicated and discussed their different music projects for long time and even met once before at a festival in 2014, but have never played together until the end of 2018. That was when they ended up jamming together in Emil's studio when Mirian was invited to play a festival in Cluj, the city where Emil lives. Back home, after the festival, listening to the recorded sessions from that productive afternoon in the studio they decided to produce an album out of them and the three part "Uranus Session", proudly released on Mahorka is the finished result of their first and hopefully not last collaboration. released March 10, 2019 Artwork photo by: Ivan Ivanov // posledenzalez Artwork design by: Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

It is the delusion that others think well of one. Actions and the products of one's efforts are thought to be well received and praised by others. Mere acquaintances are thought to be close friends; politeness and the exchange of pleasantries are taken as expressions of deep attachment and the promise of future support. Pronoia appears rooted in the social complexity and cultural ambiguity of our lives: we have become increasingly dependent on the opinions of others based on uncertain criteria.» --Goldner, Fred (1982).

As the original release plan faded into nothingness, the album was put on ice for a while. Fast forward a couple of years, and some of the tracks ended up being used for the dance performance "Perfect (im)Perfections" – stories untold, during the Multiplé Dance Festival in Trondheim in 2014. There was again some talk about finalizing a release, but then the years went by again, and the album slept on a hard drive somewhere, until today! The album itself did not really care that it has gone 7 years since it´s completion, since it allways has been a thing lost in time anyway. It did not sound like anything else happening in 2012 then, and it does not sound like anything else happening in 2019 today. It is what it is.

Keeping the polymetric and polyrhytmic structural approaches and unique sound production techniques, he further extends and builds upon, this time less processed, even clean, guitars, less distortion, more melodic and harmonic compositions, more cinematic and atmospheric overall feeling with more and lusher ambient passages that include even whole tracks on their own. released June 16, 2019 "Random motion of particles" also comes out as a precious limited edition cassette release with outstanding design by Angel Draganov and Yasen Penchev himself.

Lately, the constant accelerating societal decay and de-stricturation, the alienating aspects of the globalisation processes and the so called “common thought” became, by their unavoidability and omnipresence, a field of inspiration and cynicism for this project. Victor's longstanding fascination with DIY digital and analog electronics has put out a solid emprunt over his sound. The release “PANTA RHEI” is his first and hopefully not the last on Mahorka, after years of discussions, preparations, variants and waiting for the right circumstances in the right moment to come for this debut on the label. Most of the drum parts are produced with 808 and 909 clones, the non-melodic sound layers are mostly filtered spring and digital reverbs, various overdrives and distortions, feedback loops; there are extensive modular synth recordings and most of the paddy parts originate from a FM8 clone and a Waldorf Blofeld.

A new chapter of colossal, brooding ambient; where light is slowly crushed by shade, within a multi-faceted arena of sound. From the nightmarish journey through dying forests and the ruined vestiges of humanity depicted in their debut; the path now leads across desolate moorland and hilltops to the coast. The sea levels are now rising; and we have to face the inevitable, that all will be consumed.

V defines his music as progressive hiphop, post hiphop, ambient noisy hiphop. He performs alone or integrates avant-garde formations for improvised live performances. V's 4th album and debut on Mahorka "23.56.04" was recorded during the same creative process from which "Cosmic Archeology", his 3rd full-length, has emerged, and is in many ways the latter's companion. One could feel same vibes through both albums, but the newly released one is less ambient, less electronic and more organic. released September 29, 2019 2 of the tracks here were produced together with all-time partner MATIJ. Real instruments are played on alongside the sample-based production - guitars, drums and bass, played by V or by friends, like Lord Konar on the guitars.

Stefan Goranov - Side B (27:18) 24Bit "Minimal Images" is the first solo album and debut on Mahorka of drummer Stefan Goranov. Exploring rhythmic ideas from his previous two albums as the leader of his jazz quartet - Birdwatch - Music of Charlie Parker (NYC 2015)" and Gorafunk - Frost/Fire (Plovdiv 2017) - Stefan invloves techiniques characteristic for the music of Steve Reich and other minimal composers of the 20th century but in a linear (melodic) rather than vertical (harmonic) way. Some ideas have been borrowed as well from the American jazz musician Steve Coleman and one of his teachers - Doug Hammond, namely the idea of improvising over rhythmic 'chants'. The influence of two other great teachers and musicians - Steve Altenberg and Michael Moore is also very important for the creation of this album. Not so much as particular musical ideas are concerned, but as an overall approach to improvisation, composition and music. released October 27, 2019 For Steve Reich, Steve Coleman, Steve Altenberg and Michael Moore Drums and synthesizer by Stefan Goranov Cover artwork and cassette design by Angel Draganov foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Thomas Park - Iteration #13 (2:54) 24Bit In 2019, Thomas Park suggested to work with Mahorka on a new project, to use his generative composition techniques coded in Python to remix one or more releases. Label curator Ivo Petrov furnished Thomas with a set of tracks from the early Mahorka catalog [2001-2006], selected specifically for the purpose at hand. Using his Python tools, Thomas extracted and edited fragments/loops from the tracks and created different sets of iterations.The results were quite magical to Thomas. He felt that there was something special behind the sounds, the combinations, so he arranged an album out of selected tracks, further mastered them and presented that as a suggestion for Mahorka release. After hearing the album Ivo realised this should be the perfect revival of the "Mahorka Remixes" series that had had three volumes, 10-12 years earlier (reworks of Mahorka material by Iversen (vol.2) and Adrian Juarez (vol.1 and 3)). So here is "Mahorka Remixes Vol.4 (Early Mahorka Iterations)". released November 23, 2019 Used are fragments from the following artists's releases on Mahorka from the period 2001-2006: Iversen, Scell, Abluonihil, Muemmel, Sevensy, Baikonour, 80juan80, Lukas Scholler, Tusuri, Yourai, his Namelessness Is Legion, Transcendent Device.

One road-trip up the Central Coast, several commutes to and from work, a recent 5-hr flight from the West and East coasts, and sporadic listenings when the time was just right—and one thing is certain: 4T Thieves’ (aka Kahvi head hauntologist) gives a nod to the Sandison and Eoin brothers in a very complimentary way. Taking cues from genuine feel-good and sun-soaked downbeat electronica strains (ie. “Orange Sunshine) to heavy bass acrobatics like the fantastic “Aquaverde”—Hauntology is an intense sonic smorgasbord. From synthesizer squiggles featured on “Tessellations (The Synth)” to the magnetic ambient drifts and nostalgic flute sounds of “Daytime Astronomy,” each track is carefully woven to reveal its hidden melodic moments. Bells and slight whistles, eroded drums, and Cub Scout lessons about what to do in case of the Atom Bomb (ie. “Past Inside The Present”) are downbeat perfection. Tracks like “Still Life” crumple, decompose, and utterly engage the listener with memories recovered from yesteryear—meant to be played in a continuous loop, it doesn’t lose its emotional spark and fragile texture. Sculptures of sound like “Echo Lake” present stripped down (Deru-styled) hip-hop in the most tranquilized vein, ultimately tapering away as the sun begins to set on the horizon. The aptly titled “Painting With Light” sets out to explore atmospheric pressure as it connects minimal soundscapes and effervescent drones along the way. The aura surrounding “Lost Futures” is simply mind expanding—its minuscule melodies ebb and flow while a hypnotic 4/4 beat pushes forward. There are many crevasses to fall into, especially on the kaleidoscopic rhythm of “Summer Breeze and Autumn Leaves” (see video premiere)—4T Thieves once again masterfully ages this track with a subliminally vintage groove. Hauntology raises the bar for BoC-inspired tunes, exploring atomic Weaponeering, and takes us out of the realm of kilotons into the fantastic world of megatons with ease and control.

Our bodies are matter physically present in the present reality, but our psychic capacities can be distanced, reaching parallel inter-temporal spaces. They aim at creating internal and external associative representations between presence - happening - reflection directed at the senses. The immediate primal feeling in one present is lost or renewed, disappears or reappears after nothing is the same again." released December 25, 2019 Artwork painting: Tanyo Pavlov Artwork and digipak design: Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Boubi's Library - Conversations With Your Fears (36:05) Julien « boubi » Palomo is a composer and electronic musician. He is a former Free Jazz producer with Improvising Beings. He is half of Other Matter with guitarist Michel Kristof, and a quarter of United Slaves with Makoto Sato and Vinnie Paternostro. His solo work has been published by Mahorka, MuteAnt Sounds Netlabel, Entr'Acte, and Improvising Beings (unfair! unjazz!). He has been lucky enough to work with Eric Zinman, Henri Roger, Henry Herteman, Massimo Magee, Christine Webster, Fabien Robbe among others. Other aspects of his career are rather infortunate, on the other hand, and won't be told here. CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUR FEARS 1 – Library vol. 356 "This music was recorded in June of 2017 and I had no clue, absolutely no clue. What was I thinking, really? Leave me alone with my «System» (4 modulars, numerous old-school keyboards and digital synths) for a few days, and I will deliver a useless monument of textural experimentation, instead of a statement. I am French, that must be the Mallarmé in me, the précieux. Yet I wish I had more of Camus, more action, more meaningfulness. I must give credit to Ivo Petrov: he was the first producer to give a chance to my solo work in 2015. From the start I was delighted that my producer was a man of Science instead of a man of the Arts, by 21st Century accounts. Six centuries ago though, there wouldn't have been much of a difference. The educated man of the Renaissance was both. Man of the Arts, man of Science, it was a continuum. I feel we would have fitted perfectly. On the other hand, there sometimes isn't anything for us in the present times. Hand in hand in the 5 years that have elapsed, we've trodden the path that goes up from the Modern Burnt-Out Insomniac towards Hope, back to Melatonin, restlesness, anger. And up again. Nothing stable in this century. Melatonin For Angels, our first project... Instant digression: OUR project. I draw a line between works I release/throw away all by myself on some obscure corner of the web, and works I offer to producers. They ARE part of the process. I can't compose from scratch. I have something and/or someone in mind. It's there. To be more precise: it's so present I could burst, it's an obsession, I have to get it out. The present work, Conversation With Your Fears, is filled with anger, anguish, it's a personal hell. I composed it with Ivo Petrov in mind, specifically. That doesn't mean he angered me – that doesn't mean I associate our friendship with anguish – that means that we both understand our work together as cathartic. We trade ideas in feelings, and with a bit of inspiration and hard but intuitive work, I turn out a piece that is almost intended as a medicine for both of us. Medicine can be hard to swallow. Melatonin For Angels, our first project, was mild. You need to get your circadian rhythm together, friends. But once it's together, it's good, it's all good. And we hadn't talked that much, by then. I was still fumbling my way out of Free Jazz and free improvisation, testing the waters of electronic music, and my compositions were quite sophisticated loops, but loops, still. The second project, Woke Up To No Day And My Hands Were Finally Filled With Light, in January of 2017, was one of my first orchestral works for synthesizers (cue: my mentor Alan Silva's idea of the «orchestral synthesizer»). It was also an exorcism. We both had risen over various life challenges. Medicine #3, Conversations... Almost never saw the light of day. I sent it to Ivo. It became his favorite piece of mine. He scheduled it for release. I listened back. I freaked out. I cancelled. Sent other music, along the line of the discursive process above. Stalled again. Finally decided I wouldn't publish anything until I got my marbles together. I even remained silent for a year. Conversations didn't achieve what I heard and saw in my head. The whole of 2018 I went through a compositional blackout – the aural visions and synesthetic impulses that drive my work were still painfully, obsessively present, but didn't adequately translate into music. It even prompted me to move out of my house, town, and aspects of my life, to find a new environment to reboot. It worked to some extent. I made peace with the album, gave Ivo the greenlight. You know the most frustrating part of this little whiny story you probably quit reading a while ago? I can barely recall what it was about in the first place. I had gotten lost in the whole process. I remember the rash, but I can't see the scar. By no means is Conversations With Your Fears a work I disavow. What I just described at length – was just being honest. But it is not to say it's a leftover, a botched experiment, my least favorite composition. It just reflects something that other artists know pretty well – when your work is driven by the inner urge rather than pleasure (or $$$ commodity €€€), when you're looking that hard for that little, or big, or average Something – you get a fucking monster back. I assure you, as Ivo is considering the follow-up to this piece – the lessons have NOT been learnt. The monster has returned already, the difference is he got accustomed to the leash and we're temporarily on a good footing. As I can't discuss the meaning of the piece, it should be the end of these notes. Not quite though. I ought to say something of the sound. Conversations With Your Fear is just me, an ARP 2600, an ARP Sequencer, and a Solina String Ensemble. A pared-down Berlin School setting? I can't deny it, there's a flavor. But it bears my signature – noise, screeches, unbalance. The patches I created for the 2600 are not from the revered patchbook of this legendary instrument. They're quite personal. I never cared using it to get « that » 70s sound (not often). The genius who designed it, Alan R. Pearlman, passed away a year ago, in January of 2018, and he too was an engineer, an artist, an accomplished Renaissance type. He knew sound can follow several paths, and his circuits left plenty room for other levels of sound. In retrospect, this work, that features his emblematic instruments only, is a tribute to his vision. It so happens in the meantime I met his daughter Dina online, and had the honor to express her my gratitude towards him. I have a special thought for another powerful artist I met sometimes after recording this album, synthesist and keyboardist supreme Lisa Bella Donna, who makes extensive use of the same instrumentarium. I like to think some of our soundscapes have something in common and that she will relate to this one. Only, she has long gotten rid of the kind of mental trash that fills my young, muddy work. It was common until the Renaissance to both dedicate the book, and invoke the protection and guidance of patrons before launching it into the wild. Conversations With Your Fear is accordingly dedicated to Ivo Petrov, and I send it respectfull to Dina Pearlman and Lisa Bella Donna." --J.Palomo, January 2020 released January 12, 2020 Cover artwork: Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

He started with organizing events and playing live music selections, and has been up for promoting electronic music, doing radio shows and helping a lot of artists travel and perform, running two projects of his own - Ecological Sound Corps, a non-profit and non-governmental organization, and Radio Noah, an ambient music oriented act. The Autonomaton (think "tones for autonomy") alter-ego came to being aside of everything mentioned so far only in 2014 when he also started producing his own electronic music in the ambient, dub and jungle directions, having gathered the confidence and feeling the right moment has come after two decades of evolution as part of the scene. His debut LP "Polarsternritual", presenting the ambient side of the project, came out on Mahorka in 2015. Through the years he has released also on Animal Breaks (BE), Dystopian Dub Discotheque (UK), Treetrunk (USA), Attenuation circuit (DE), Eden.deeply (AU), Petroglyph Music (NOR), Junglist Manifesto (Canada), Gabbabalkanton (BG), Special Convoy (FR), Schallsaft Laboratorium (DE), Marasm (FR), CAuAC records (FR), Marasm records (FR), Post:Soc (UK), Submarine Broadcasting Company (UK) and others, as well as on his own netlabel EcoSCi (BG) that he had started meanwhile. Five years after his debut album and after having him featured on the label with exclusive track on the "Music for elevators vol.5" VA compilation and outstanding remixes of krāllār's "withdrawal", Protuberance's "Ghost ship" and Teeth of Divine's "Pastoral Picture", we are proud to present Autonomaton's second Mahorka release - the "Picture in Picture" EP. released January 22, 2020 Cover artwork: Ivo Petrov and Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

The release comprises of 3 compositions that revolve around the deafening and conflicting relationship that man has with nature, the dominant force and protagonist of our doings. The sounds shine through and envelope our daily lives totally, in a deafening, chaotic way. White as the color, which absorbs everything, which contains everything, wrapped in nothing.

Strepitvsitvs - Uno è tutto (9:22) 24Bit "Suoni Olofonici" is the new realization of Strepitvsitvs and the long-awaited and discussed debut release on Mahorka for the duo. The album is meant to be a sort of inner self-reflection as well as a very personal study about environmental connections between people and places. The focus is set on the Montello hill, near the Piave river, pretty close to their hometown. It's a really peculiar site, where nature, history, legends, and mysteries are all mixed up together in a unique way. "Suoni Olofonici" represents the duo's feelings and visions of it in a uniquely rich way and also is expression of their will to define a standalone enviroment, to execute an introspective journey through memories and sensations, inspired by a magical location, under the form of an audio description. released February 8, 2020 Strepitvsitvs is part of the AsolanMac Project, an Italian experimental duo of composers/producers formed in 2009 as a collaboration between a founding member of Squadra Omega and a classically trained guitarist, also ex-student of Sylvano Bussotti. The starting point of the whole project consists of a systematic and layered contrast of minimalist themes and free forms, presented in many different ways but always fully improvised, with the aim of being able to creatively represent a vision of a surreal existence where space and time are continuously altered by chaos. The overall musical effect of every single production is similar to an orchestra, where sound flows in constant motion, that could be compared to visual arts like Rumorismo or to the playful moments of Dadaism. foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Radoslav and Dusted Wax Kingdom's very own Dimitar 'VPD' Kalinov got in touch regarding the project while the movie was still on the script stage and VPD recorded a series of tracks, mostly variations/takes on same theme ingredients, specifically for "Dead Weather". It ended up with few of the scenes actually inspired by the music too and the soundtrack being an integral part of the strong effect the short has on the audience. Not all of the music produced in the process was used in the movie and we loved both the used and unused portions alike, so finally a short EP was assembled for the long due debut of VPD on Mahorka, after we have collaborated amazingly for so many years! released February 22, 2020 Music by: Dimitar 'VPD' Kalinov Short movie by: Radoslav Radoslavov Cover artwork: Dimitar Kalinov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

All of them expresses what I felt after the latest political misfortunes in my country (Brazil) and overall social-political state of mind in the world. In “Insomniac Dreams” - the absence of rest and sleep to convey life in its existence. In “Antimanicomial” - the absence of sanity in its helplessness in a political system that doesn’t give a care. In “Duets for Balogh” - the absence of a friend, despite his presence in sound conversations. In “Cinzas” - the absence of care on nature, a mourn for dead rivers. And this, “Longes” is about absence of faith. However, there is no particular order, nor any sound similarities for this pentalogy, despite being linked thematically. “Insomniac Dreams” was the first published one, but “Longes” was the one recorded first, with later-on finalizations. ”Longes” is my second work in which I play electric guitar (a Telecaster) as a main instrument (first one was “Electric Ramblings” (2014) in most of the tracks). It was conceived as a series of variations on the final motif from the coda of the song “Muito Mais Longe do que o Bastante”, which was originally recorded for the album “La Géographie sans Regret” (2012), made in collaboration with Mehata Sentimental Legend. In this album, I explore on electric guitar both timbral and electronic experimentations whereas the themes are extended without regard on time and space, despite having their own implicit structure. Apart from the last track (X), the pieces were all improvised in their performances. Somehow, it’s a spiritual manifesto on struggling for survival, in electric mantras; against all odds, a life-affirming statement.” -- George Christian released March 1, 2020 George Christian: electric guitar with accessories and pedals; electric fretless bass; electronic experimentations on Guitar Rig and Adobe Audition CS6 Izaky Grimm: drums and percussion on Longes VI-X Ícaro Estivalet: flute on Longes VIII and X Recorded and mixed at home in Salvador, Bahia (Brazil) during January, 2019 (George Christian’s sessions) and in 1/2 Boca Studio (Porto Alegre) in June, 2019 (Izaky and Ícaro’s sessions).

Although these architectures reflect the human universe of the believers, the principles of their construction obey the laws of the creator of the universe. Walking in a valley, into cave or forest presents an equally strong idea, if one listens carefully. The natural world is also created by an unknown, undefinable creator. The creator, singular or plural, incarnate in the creation of spaces like valleys and forests and caves doesn't speak our language but what we have of the language of architecture and speech is drawn from the resonance and the laws of such spaces. Listening itself becomes an architecture. We reflect on how and when we listen. Simplicity and complexity convolve an infinite interaction.” -- Jeffrey Alan Gburek released March 19, 2020 Music inspired by designs and geometries of sacred spaces Composed and produced by: Jeffrey Alan Gburek, 2019 transparent-abelard.blogspot.com jeffgburekprojects.bandcamp.com Cover photo (public domain): Fatima Masumeh Shrine, Qom, Iran Cassette artwork design: Ivo Petrov and Angel Draganov ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Blanket Swimming + DR - Backscatter (10:40) 06. Blanket Swimming + DR - No Title (30:27) “The Lightning Gallery” is a collaborative effort between Nicholas Maloney, operating under the Blanket Swimming moniker, and Dominic Razlaff, aka, DR. Blanket Swimming/Nicholas Maloney is a sound artist, multi-instrumentalist, performer, and recording engineer from Jackson, Mississippi. Working primarily in the areas of drone, ambient, musique concrète, and electroacoustic improvisation, Nicholas creates personal, evocative recordings, while at the same time offering a pallet of sound that can be used to practice the rewarding act of deep listening. He looks to challenge the listeners’ focus and perception of sound. Much of his work explores the textural nature of sound within a framework of progressing and evolving compositions. Dominic Razlaff (aka DR), born 1982, is a sound artist from Braunschweig, Germany. He uses synthesizers, acoustic instruments (Ukulele & Cavaquinho), field recordings, tape loops & granular synthesis to create melancholy ambient/drone soundscapes. Nicholas first became aware of the work of DR in 2018 when both of the artists released cassettes through the Vermont-based tape label, Histamine Tapes. In 2019, the two went to become label mates on Macedonian ambient label, Post-Global Recordings. Nicholas became increasingly captivated by DR’s prolific body of work and eventually reached out to collaborate with a vision in mind to blend DR’s extended textural studies and melancholic drones with the swirling, melodic sound pallets and manipulated field recordings that Blanket Swimming is known for. Two full-length albums resulted from this collaboration, the second of which is presented to you here as a first release for both of the artists on Mahorka. “The Lightning Gallery” is a 50/50 collaborative effort from both artists, created simultaneously in their respective hometowns through a process of re-manipulation, processing, degradation, rearrangement, additional layering, and evolution of 3&3 pieces of sonic material from the artists. The six pieces on the record are a drifting journey into unfamiliar landscapes that feel like home. The sound is always present, arriving, yet in a constant state of shifting and unfolding into limitless depth and openness. The sounds map out an illusionary, dimly lit gallery. Flashes of memories drift in and out as still life paintings take on new forms with each glance. We hope these extended, sonic programmes may allow you to take a step back from whatever it is you may be caught up in and to enjoy a moment of stillness, repose. released April 4, 2020 Written and produced by Blanket Swimming & DR Mastered by Dominic Razlaff Cover artwork photo by: Ivan Ivanov a.k.a. posledenzalez ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

When I first started I was absolutely mortified at how wasteful we are in this country and likely most of the developed world. There is so much food waste (tins, dried goods that get thrown away even though they are perfectly fine). I eat what I think is OKay. Me and others also find gold, silver, rolex watches etc. I found a bottle of whiskey valued at 1400 pounds. So i was seeing all this waste and then seeing homeless people in the street asking me for money. I would buy them a sandwich and a drink. I sank into a place of strange but thoughtful depression and anxiety. Then we had this idea that you could look inside a skip and come up with a quality band name. I came up with 'Half eaten loaf', The rotten carpets, Then I saw a broken thermos flask with all these old photos next to it. Peoples memories... Soul Flask just popped in my head. I then set about taking inspiration for a musical project with influences taken directly from rubbish. Some musical instruments and old vhs tapes provided a catalyst of at least creating a musical message to this madness. The flask appeared empty, but it wasn't. It triggered a thought.. That our bodies are vessels. Our Soul can either be damaged or enlightened throughout life. We boil down our whole life's experience, knowledge and thought, then we carry forward that knowledge and information within ourselves. Within our Flasks, keeping that liquid warm. It's important that when the liquid overflows out of our Flask, that it does so in a positive way. A helpful and responsible way that can only promote good, so as that other peoples flasks don't get contaminated. It's only by following that lifestyle that we can truly transform and then together, we can all go into the future. With a clarity of soul. Most tracks have a direct message to them. Usually just questioning our accepted culture as normal without challenging it. But when looking at the bigger picture of which society does its very best to hide. You can't help but wonder just how long we can sustain ourselves like this. I mean, we all need things to survive. But when these things come to their expiry. We cannot just bury them in landfill.

MR.SMiFF - The essence (9:09) Absorbed in music for about 20 years, with many solo and collaborative releases, MR.SMiFF is continuing to experiment with various musical forms and styles. He is deeply immersed in observation of feelings, emotions, psychology and behaviors, in constant search of new means of musical expression, through old and new technologies. "5SSENCE", his debut release on Mahorka, is inspired by the alchemy and recent personal experiences. The music has been influenced by and bears the same name as Neda Ruzheva's audio-visual-dance performance, for which MR.SMiFF performs the music live. The five pieces follow the alchemical processes and correspond to different elements and senses. Through the use of slow and trippy ambient movements, the composer tries to freeze the time or delay moments indefinitely, with the glitchy twists and surprises interfering as result of unexpected and compressed reactions of the unpredictable interfusion of the "elements" - both in alchemical and psychological aspects. released May 8, 2020 ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

The new album masters have been slightly retouched now (with the original mixing projects lost years ago) and in 2020 this music not only proves itself to have stood amazignly against time, but comes out fresher than ever. released May 23, 2020 Vocal sample on track 2 from Pistamashina's track "Data back" (Sai was officially working on a remix for them back in the day and used a sample here).

Autonomaton - Hypnotic 303 (Virtually J Remix) (6:18) "The underwater fires" is a conceptual EP, revolving all around Autonomaton's love for the underwater life and rivers, seas, oceans and aquariums. That's a passion shared with the Mahorka boss Ivo Petrov, so you can guess that this release has been long time coming. In the tracks one can hear actual sounds from real fish (not mammals) captured and presented in very experimental ways. All tunes were produced on a computer but analogue equipment such as a Korg and a 303 machine were utilized in the works, sounds played on/from which were recorded and reworked. All overdubs couresty of Nikolay Stanchev. One of the tunes is actually performed totally live, manipulating the already reworked loops. This EP includes 4 original works and 2 special remixes by dear friends that further complement the release. The overall style here might be considered to be from experimental dub to obscure dub techno, as the artist himself describes it, but each track takes us on a totally new journey. The remixes are by Abu Ama - a pioneer of the sufi dub sounds and by Virtually J - the computer music pioneer in the Varna region, that started producing music on PC in '94 with trackers and other audio software, and has been a huge inspiration and support for the regional scene, including for Autonomaton and Mahorka, ever since. Both remixes take really different sound paths from original tracks, but still are made with the thought of being coherent parts of the release, thus making the whole EP even a more colourful and interesting, completing a magical journey through the Earth's waters and underwater life...

Centrul Isteric - KISI (36:32) 24Bit Centrul Isteric (FR: Centre Hystérique; EN: Hysterical Center) is the brainchild of Romanian A/V artist Gili Mocanu, better known for his abstract electronics project, Somnoroase Păsărele, which saw over a dozen recordings released on Baba Vanga (CZ), Anti-Everything (US), Czaszka (UK), OBS (RU), OTA and URUBU (PT). His style is distinctive, utilizing atypical synth sounds and asymmetrical or non-rhythmic elements, with several successful incursions into minimalist ambient/drone as well. When not orchestrating his own samples as Somnoroase Păsărele, Gili has initially (circa 2009-10) used Centrul Isteric as a side-project for messing around with rhythmic loops extracted from popular music – sometimes matching the BPM while other times not. Over time, the experiment has evolved into long-form spectral explorations (2010-16), and has recently settled into a 3rd approach to “organized hysteria”, as illustrated by KISI. On this 36-minute piece, which utilizes source materials provided by his SP companion, Miru Mercury, only the 3 or 4 opening seconds of each soundpiece are sampled and looped, in such ways that would allow for maximum dramatic effect with each subsequent maneuver. KISI thus marks a shift from previous formless 'agglutination' to more considered 'superordination' in time and space. released June 7, 2020 Recorded/edited/mastered by Gili Mocanu, Feb 2020 Artwork by Gili Mocanu / Simina Oprescu Text & project management by Miru Mercury foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Jeff Gburek lives in Poznań (Poland) while Filippo Panichi is from Firenze (Italy). Their first work together, "Parallel Spirals", was recorded during a longer stay of Jeff in Florence.

Brainquake - Hexagone (11:11) 02. Brainquake - Unforgotten (10:00) 03. Brainquake - Austerity (7:39) 24Bit Brainquake is Marc, originating from the mail-art/tape-art scene in the late eighties and composing and collecting sounds since then under this moniker and few others. Ranging from ambient, soundcollages to electro, dark wave, from noise to industrial or even poplike tunes embedded in electronics or, the way he himself labels his sounds on recent releases, “endzeit emotronica”, the music of Brainquake is allways lengthy, strong in build-up and quite often heavily emotional. On "Adrift" we hear Brainquake as a deja vu from his first releases: an intro, an outro, dissonants blending into bleakness, waves of emotion rumbling. The feeling of being adrift in a world of depravity and desillusion. Brainquake’s music takes time, time to evolve and time to be taken in. It’s about chaos blending in structure and blending out again. There seems to be no place for optimism in here but, in the distance, or in the details, there allways is. These sounds and this overwhelming sadness you feel like bad chemical taste from within, are not to simply to be listened to but to be unavoidably felt. Patience and darkness are our friends. released July 3, 2020 All sounds collected and processed February-May 2020 Recorded during a live session on May 2 2020 at Hemel Centraal, Belgium. foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

It is about observing our thoughts and dreams: letting them come and go, rather than chasing after them. The songs themselves are little vignettes, dealing with Zen (空/Ku) and Samurai philosophy (Sword of No-Sword - inspired by Miyamoto Musashi’s Book of 5 Rings), absurdism (Owl-Stretching Time), cats (猫ホップ/Nekohop), memories (山寺/Yamadera) and finish with a farewell to melancholy (Sketches of Pain). released July 7, 2020 All music written and performed by Tomoroh Hidari Cover artwork: dfkt. portfolio.dfkt.at (Based on a photo by Tomoroh Hidari) foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Wayab - Love Never Ends - Part III (15:44) From the very inception of Wayab - with "Tales from the transcendent" - the substance of the project has been finding ways to express the inexpressible through the development of abstract language based on sound. This release differs from the previous Wayab albums in its incorporation of verbal language alongside the purely sonic one, with quotations from ancient scriptures, both canonical and apocryphal. The album is structured as a sonic triptych, representing three paths leading in the same direction. On the left is the path of knowledge - it begins with the desire to know, followed by the acquisition of knowledge and in the end - the becoming of the knowledge itself. In the center is the path of direct experience, of grace. Short and simple rhythmic structures are transfigured into spacious soundscapes embodying the formless timelessness at the center of existence. On the right is the path of devotion, of love - simultaneously a prayer for existence and an expression of gratefulness for it. The development of a language capable of expressing the inexpressible is an infinite process that cannot reach completion and yet understanding this impossibility to be complete is its very completion. To quote one of the great translators of ancient knowledge from the Sanskrit, Juan Mascaró: "All true progress is an inner creation that leads to the joy of the Infinite." released August 1, 2020 All music by Nikola Marinov Cover artwork by Boyan Avramov Dedicated to Fredo.

Julien Palomo - Faith in something smaller (Library 743) (41:47) 24Bit To freely quote Professor Paulo Motta, «music is the mirage of sound». Schroedinger's music: Suppose it takes shape? Suppose it doesn't? Suppose both states exist? Suppose I didn't want to chose? As a composer, I enjoy indeterminacy. The system of electronic devices I use allows for careful planning of events, timbres, textures, their evolutions in time, but I just give it a gentle push. I will shut it down before it churns out the Big Musical Obvious. I want the fabric to remain visible. The background to be the foreground, in plain sight. The vibrating atoms have been set in motion to become music, but it's not exactly the purpose. This is music on its way to, but whatever it is, it will not reach it. I will make sure it doesn't. It's a mirage on the horizon. Considering the parameters I use, would you ever reach the unintended oasis, it wouldn't quench your thirst. Quite the opposite – this music wants to reinstate the unformal beauty of raw material. Correlations will eventually create a scale, a rhythm: it would be foolish of the composer to pretend he is not a human being, equipped with a brain that needs structures in the face of the universe. If he could actually see the universe as it is, he would die instantly. Instead he creates little boxes to tick, generation after generation of flesh vehicles. I don't believe in tabula rasa. Whatever new musical system will be invented, will be invented either by a brain, either by something programmed by a brain. Hence, I programme. But without too much self-examination, I know this is mere pretense.Systems, society, Kultur, music induced by Kultur, you are so small next to my faith. So, here it is, voltage, mere voltage, and a few algorithms from the 1990s. There's a design, but mostly, chances (I prefer chances to refer to vast blocks of sound emerging from a jolt of the finger here and there, rather than improvisation that pertains to shorter segments). Both compositions were produced out of exactly the same patch on my electronic system. You will hear many differences between the two, but they're really part of the same continuum. The Universe, Nature, the All, God, whatever you call it, is first and foremost a continuum, and by insisting on long-form compositions, I want to reflect that. Sometimes I will cull a chunk that makes sense. Sometimes I will select a transition. I could have arbitrarily decided to propose 2 more hours of it, 24 hours, a month, why not, of this sound. I tune in to this sound whenever I feel the urge. I have the quasi-mystical belief it continues even when I unplug the whole studio. Proof is I can hear it in my head. Like you would open the window, tune in to the wind creating layers of phasing in the trees, mixed with the sounds of civilization nearby, and then shut the window: you may well be the center of your own interest, but something, the unfathomable something is still roaming outside. Vaster than you. This is what I try to convey with these pieces. Eventually, electronics has the last word against other instruments, and even the electronic imitations thereof, because voltage, that bare expression (expressiveness?) of electricity, is a sound of nature, a lifeform in itself. When you delve deep in electronics, you don't look at the global picture of human ideas, languages, social organizations, the bullshit; you peer at the atoms interweaving, doing their thing, a wrong move and they overcome you, little teases. Focus on the details. Study the microcosm, and you will get closer to the real design, and its chances. The rest, again, is a pile of more or less useless structural rubbish. I have faith in something smaller. -- JP, May 2020 released August 19, 2020 Composed on modular synthesizer, ARP 2600, ARP Sequencer, EMS Synthi E, Waldorf Microwave, Korg Z1 and Akai S950 October-December 2019, IB Studio 2.0, France Cover artwork by Ivo Petrov, using photography by Aurélie Gerlach Produced by Ivo Petrov foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

A variety of sound sources and instruments are introduced. Abandoning specialization and sliding towards universality produces thriving musical diversity but also easily ends up to the dilettantism, which I have not been that much afraid of. How many instruments I really played on this album? The answer is unambiguous. I am a guitarist, so I play guitar (on tracks 1, 2 and 10). Track 8 is played on the guitar, but the sound source is a virtual instrument violin (Embertone’s Joshua Bell violin by guitar to MIDI, no Max/MSP involved). Playing gestures of violin (sampled) and guitar (played by me) are entirely different in nature. So what is the point of playing violin by the guitar? Just to have fun. In all compositions except tracks 9 and 11 material, form or both are outputs from constrained improvisation controlled by various controller setups. In general, it is a bit misleading to talk about playing here. It is in most of the tracks more like active listening. Auditive feedback is available in constrained real-time compositional process. On the other hand, the process comes close to free improvisation. It is not meant to challenge or replace traditional instrument playing skills. It is something entirely different. For example, tracks 4 and 12 are parametrically predefined constrained improvisations. However, tracks 9 is made by using Csound with score without real-time processing. Track 11 is produced partly using Csound and partly transforming recorded sound material by GRM Tools Warp and Reson. Other tracks are complex hybrids involving constrained improvisation by Max/MSP, virtual instruments, synthesizers, GRM Tools and number of others techniques. The resulting album is some kind of experimental multigenre music collage. Even after trying, the album did not fit into the genre of acousmatic music. The musical process seems to have led me to my own worlds. In stereo sound reproduction, new school acousmatic music is sound image intensive. For good quality reproduction three-way monitors are an important requirement and there is no much space for the listener to move head out from the sweet spot when rendering the studio mix by stereo monitors. Acousmatic music rarely has any lounging beat based continuous structures. It serves poorly as background music. Acousmatic music asks for attentive listening. If the investment of attention to the listening of (my album) is rewarding or not, can be asked afterwards. However, purely aesthetic constraints, such as the custom to avoid certain types of rhythmic structures, are always momentary. They are useful for their time, sometimes five, sometimes hundred years, until some composer violates the rule in a fruitful way. COMPOSITION THEREFORE IS MAGIC The diversity of things may seem at first chaotic in this album but there is some underlying map. One of my background goals by using my methods in the real-time process is to bypass the ego and the conscious mind in this process so that a flow of deeper level messages gets space to appear. Aim of this integration is to bring together opposites – not only on sound material level but also on different cultural scales and musical dimensions – without them losing their blade. Although the goal is a flowing state of mind, a lot of conscious labour, programming and planning is involved. In this man-machine transformer dream some tension between the awakening part (man) and the sleeping part (machine) is obvious. These parts interact through interfaces. It has something to do with grasping the division of labour between man and machine. "Composition therefore is magic" Adrian Moore, Sonic Art 2016, page. 34 What does Moore exactly mean here? It might be something to do with his concept “Theory of Opposites”. i.e. the sound transformation should produce against most obvious descriptor of the sound. Sound materials should be transformed so that the hidden acousmatic potential of it is unveiled while the original gesture that produced it likely be veiled. Something imaginal is produced. So is this magic? Maybe. It depends on who is doing it and how it is done. Magic is the procedure where the subconscious mind is affected by manipulating (mythopoetic) images. Acousmatic reductive listening moves attention towards the absolute listening and liberates sound from the apparent gestures of the material reality. In practice, by “magic” Moore probably means something like this: every tool has its secrets in usage and potential not immediately obvious and which require great sensibility and knowledge from the user. Sound is symbol of something. By sound, it is possible to program our subconscious mind in certain way. In fact, we cannot refuse to do so. Whenever we work on sound, we affect the mind. And not only so that we are subconsciously affected by all the sounds, we hear, we consciously perceive all the sounds individually differently depending of momentary state of mind, whether altered or ordinary. Am I aware how the elephant of the sub-consciousness will take my sounds? Well, this is under experiment. Our world is full of attempts at mind control and suggestions and I am not hurrying to be part of these industries but rather aiming at something opposite: chaomine pointing out from the centre as lines of flight. The lines of the world are the lines of escape. In constrained real-time composition, I have sometimes the view that combining musical will and high technology could possibly create a mythopoetic language. Some sort of hierarchy appears, lying not in the area of engineering and not in musicians either, but in both. A kind of hidden hieroglyphs covered by the dust of the times. Ready for foundation and exploration waiting for the ear of the music technological archaeologist of distant futures. What about the psychokinesis between man and computer? Moore barely had that in mind, or did he? This idea repeatedly spontaneously re-emerges to me in the practical process. Again, it is perhaps ”magic” observable in the process more than the end product for the listener. Of course, I cannot prove this synchronicity phenomenon between man and machine exists at all. However, this idea is something that inspires me and keeps me curious and going on. Telepathic connection between man and machine could supposedly happen in a mechanism similar in nature to quantum entanglement. In magic, cosmic synchronicity is under the will power of a mage, whose aim is to program the subconscious mind through synchronisms. This affair does not necessarily have a dimension of a public performance. It happens in its deepest essence mostly in silence bypassing the whole of the conscious mind and its fantasies of total control. There is tension between “Overall Man” and “Super Man”: Whole “I” without ego (or limited ego) contra small “i” with boundless ego. Egos are programming sub-consciousness more or less randomly. An ego leads to a sub-consciousness, which is likely not programmed under deepest will. Despite all of the background metaphysics, I suggest acousmatic reductive listening strategy for this album. Even if I cannot stop myself naming the tracks in mythopoetic-sounding ways, the custom is not meant to be a guide for a listening orientation. These compositions at their material level do not suggest a programmatic or formal listening strategy." -- Janne Nummela, Oct 2020 released October 10, 2020 Voice on track 9: Earl Fontainelle, shwep.net Cover artwork: Ilene Meyer: "The Jester and his Protégé" © Ilene Meyer, published under permission of current copyrights owner.

The hourglass is running, at that steady pass, water is flowing, an ongoing stream, and everything we do or did is in the past. Time is ticking and will not stop, not for anyone, not ever ...” Unlike on his debut EP on Mahorka - a trip through abstract territories, blending dissonants and rough waves of emotion rumbling, here on this 9 track album Brainquake explores common songstructures and sounds. Overtones, dissonants and layers still provide that emotional layer but with a softness uncommon for his works. There is even some optimism in the sound palette and melodies? In sound it kind of reminds of those great 90's electronica/ambient/idm albums we all grew up with but adding that minimal touch and rhythms and some more contemporary production. As a whole this album evolves presenting a changing approach to a constant, common sequence. Variations on a theme but quite diverse. All tracks are at 110 beats per minute and as the ongoing sequence flows on, it showcases the different interplay of underlays and thrifty build up. As most albums this one is best listened to in full but that doesn’t minimalize the vigour of the compositions by themselves. Take your time and use the strength of repetition. Sleep, snooze, listen, dance to it, it’s ambient, idm, experimental, leftfield, pop and endzeit emotronica as much as it is not. released October 25, 2020 All tracks composed 2018-2020, compiled and recorded for Mahorka, autumn 2020 by Marc Ceulemans at Hemel Centraal (Belgium) Cover artwork by Marc Ceulemans ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Ivano Pecorini - North End (10:36) Ivano Pecorini is a composer and sound artist based in London, whose works move across experimental approaches and aesthetic investigations, focused on the manipulation and mixture between concrete materials, synthesis and acoustic instruments.His body of work maintains both a sharp creative focus and a wide-eyed spirit of exploration, creating unexpected electronic soundscapes. Nowadays, the vast possibilities of instrumental choices further lead many composers to create their own compositional environments, including limitations and defects, to better explore particular sonic fields, in all their facets and micro-variations. This is why, to compose Barons Court, Ivano developed a system of four electromagnets that are controlled by Max/MSP. Each electromagnet allows for the vibration of some piano strings, producing modulated soundscapes, textures, and melodies. released November 15, 2020 Composed and produced by: Ivano Pecorini Mastering by: Roberto Di Ciaccio Artwork by: Ivo Petrov Photography by: Silvia Preziosi ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

These amalgamations point towards tones of an almost uncertain origin and are very much characterized by a certain place in time. His debut album 'Plum God' represents a transitory state. An uncertainty, which brings along states of confusion, exhaustion, intensity.. coexisting within these emotions resides hope and the inevitable beauty and gravity of consciousness. We are swayed like trees against an invisible wind, currents that press upon us, like shores, constantly reoccurring and reemerging from a seemingly infinite source. Beyond us. This elusive control navigates our existence, and in this sway we must have trust in ourselves, this is only the beginning.. As Austin Rockman's debut on Mahorka "Plum God" has been revisited, on tape, and with the "bonus" track (tape322), this is only the beginning.. Press Coverage: 'Plum God is a beautiful reminder of human fragility, and a welcomed breath of fresh air in an environment too often symbolized by a seductive superficiality.ʼ - Massimo Ricci/Touching Extremes ‘Beautifully mangled sound rests on the periphery of conscious awareness, pulling the mind back from untethered states with anxious and processed machinelike errors and blurred distortions of texture.ʼ - Tone Harvest ‘The symbiosis he develops between the beckoning of the music and the willing acquiescence of the ear and mind makes this album a bracing experience.ʼ -Andrew Forell/Dusted Magazine released November 29, 2020 Composed and produced by: Austin Rockman Mastering by: Taylor Deupree Sleeve design by: Angel Draganov Using photography by: Austin Rockman foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Pedro Maras - One Day (4:43) "The IPCC AR5 defines a tipping point as an irreversible change in the climate system. It states that the precise levels of climate change sufficient to trigger a tipping point remain uncertain, but that the risk associated with crossing multiple tipping points increases with rising temperature. In the context of climate change, an "adaptation tipping point" has been defined as "the threshold value or specific boundary condition where ecological, technical, economic, spatial or socially acceptable limits are exceeded. Tipping point behaviour in the climate can also be described in mathematical terms. Tipping points are then seen as any type of bifurcation with hysteresis. Hysteresis is the dependence of the state of a system on its history. For instance, depending on how warm and cold it was in the past, there can be differing amounts of ice present on the poles at the same concentration of greenhouse gases or temperature In a study inspired by "mathematical and statistical approaches to climate modelling and prediction", the authors identify three types of tipping points in open systems such as the climate system - bifurcation, noise-induced and rate-dependent. The idea of tipping points in climate science, as indicated by palaeoclimate data and global climate models, suggest that the "climate system may abruptly 'tip' from one regime to another in a comparatively short time. Bifurcation-induced tipping refers to changes in dynamical systems that occur when a small smooth change made to bifurcation parameters of the system causes an abrupt or sudden topological change in the behavior of the system. In the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), slow passage to the bifurcation parameters - the salinity, temperature and density of water - could cause the AMOC to abruptly collapse when it reaches a critical tipping point. Currents of warm, seawater in the upper layers of the Atlantic flow north, while currents of colder, deep waters from the North Atlantic flow south, like a conveyor belt known as thermohaline circulation. Downwelling occurs when the warmer, higher-density seawater accumulates and sinks beneath the colder, lower density less saline water from glacier melt. An AMOC collapse would occur if downwelling was inhibited . [critical slowing down] (CSD) "occurs because a restoring feedback is weakening as a bifurcation-type tipping point is approached. Noise-induced tipping refers to transitions due to random fluctuations or internal variability of the system, as in the Dansgaard-Oeschger events during the last glacial period, with 25 occurrences of rapid climate fluctuations. Rate-induced tipping occurs in an "excitable system" - such as peatlands - when one of the systems parameters is "ramped" through a "steady, slow and monotonic change" eliciting a "large excitable response". In the case of peatlands, the rate-induced tipping point results in an "explosive release of soil carbon from peatlands into the atmosphere" - "compost bomb instability"." released December 19, 2020 “Thanks to the Mahorka team and Esther De Laet”.

DR - Matrjoschka #3 (20:34) DR (Dominic Razlaff) is a sound artist from Germany. He uses synthesizers, acoustic instruments (Ukulele, Cavaquinho, Guitar), field recordings, tape loops and granular synthesis to create soaked in melancholy ambient / drone soundscapes. A bit after debuting on Mahorka with his highly acclaimed collaboration album with Blanket Swimming ("The Lightning Gallery") he found an old sketch, unfinished Ukulele piece, which was a little bit boring recording, but had something special to it. Out of it he made some tape loops (with a Fostex x-15) to see what can come out and really liked the results. From these tape loops the three "Matrjoschka" compositions were finished. The release title comes from the "matrjoschkas" that have been around him in his living room, the only decoration that links to his ancestry from his father's side, born and growing up in east Europe and central Asia. released December 28, 2020 All music by Dominic Razlaff Cover artwork photo by Dominic Razlaff ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

As a result, his second album and Mahorka debut "Online Messages in Cardboard Boxes" was constructed solely by scavenging the net for sound textures and later altering and arranging them to create unique soundscapes. So as much as there was lots of time spent designing the compositions, an at least equal amount of time was involved in the research phase. "Online Messages in Cardboard Boxes" is a voyage beyond the keyboard, the monitor and the WWW, it takes us on a trip from the busy streets of a virtual metropolis to the melted ruins of a broken e-map. Each track was conceived as a gateway to the cloud of our mind. released January 23, 2021 foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Like a loosely thatched roof or cyber-crown on top of the ionosphere, the 5G bubble expands. My radio and my own ears can receive now from further realms of accidental cooperation an unheard of propagation of waves and a new complex of commingling mass inter-references. Shortwave and medium wave radio captures recorded and mixed live in the Beskidy Mountains are the source and subject of my work here in this release on Mahorka (Bulgaria) and continues the momentum kicked of by Antenna Non Grata label in Poland. With my radio captures I express the wish to re-inscribe my experience on the skies and an desire to transmit my own reception amid the virtual and real celestial beings merging with the creative forces of the universe. And to share and invite you to do the same. Radio was one of the ways I was getting to know the place where I was confined during the summer of plague year 2020, on the border between Poland & the Czech Republic. Culturally connection to humanity reduced to invisible waves. Naturally an admixture with foreign yet unalienable earthly experience was the continual communion. Stream, trees, berry bushes, birds, bees, wasps, snakes, deer, rain, fog, sun, moon. Humans off in distances, cutting, motors, megaphones of ceremony, sports? Mysteries of Lockdown. "The effort to know a place deeply is, ultimately, an expression of the human desire to belong, to fit somewhere, " writes naturalist Barry Lopez. "The determination to know a particular place, in my experience, is consistently rewarded. And every natural place, to my mind, is open to being known. And somewhere in this process a person begins to sense that they themselves are becoming known, so that when they are absent from that place they know that place misses them. And this reciprocity, to know and be known, reinforces a sense that one is necessary in the world." When I would slip between two trees or ford the stream and brings my microphones through the thickets shyly, I often wondered who would take note of my passage. An owl's feather on the hill felt less like random molting and more a thoughtful gift. I did not feel necessary. Yet I felt somehow integrated. In stillness belongingness would follow in the space between abandoning too many thoughts and dwelling on the margins of the senses, alert & calm. The forest was filled with critters, anomalies, novelties and micro-process. Listening to the winds and then listening to the radio waves decode in the crucibles of the high mountain cabin, I felt a connection with a meta-language of polyvalent systems and the flux of cosmogonic coincidence inside my own fleeting construct of identity. Trees seemed electrically charged, the Perseid meteorites skimming overhead. We seemed part of an unfolding of both broad-scaled and miniscule gestures. When meteorites could be heard influencing the bounce of the radio signals I found myself thinking again of Umberto Eco, his semiotics "the ability to identify messages where it is supposed there are only gestures and read signs where there are only objects". While I was in the field I received notification of a commission for Radioprhrenia Glasgow and I began to imagined how some of these radio recordings might be used, happy that I would get another chance to transmit via radio what radio transmits to me. "Culture is brimming with relics in the form of zombie signifiers, " wrote Zygmunt Baumann in his "Sketches in the Theory of Culture". Since the old meanings of cultural signs are constantly shifting, there is an emptying of significance. If the Zen concept of the half-empty/half-full glass can be invoked here, I would say that whatever we are saying these days, one half is the old school sense, somewhat obsolete, while the other half is filled with the codifications of the new generations, ahead of us, somewhat unrealized and potential. With the realm of the radio, there is a ghost half always half empty and a ghost half always half full. Many of the old signifiers have disappeared and neo-zombie signs become newly coined to describe the old or completely novel zombie-signifiers which proclaim meanings to exist which have not been acknowledged, accepted, recognized. I read in my own transformations here a future in which I am entangled and evolving with thoughtful moves. I paint in radiographical terms. I do not speak only about the meaning of radio as a cultural manifestation or as mass media, as propaganda, spreader of cliches. Whereas we attach coded electronic pulses to the radio waves in an effort to communicate between ourselves and government enacts control thereby, I have always been as equally concerned with how radio waves, as cosmic forces per se, communicate themselves through us. I set out in my listening and remain contemplative, receptive, peering around the edges of the noise." -- Jeff Gburek released February 5, 2021 Live Set @ Paradigms Hub Floating Cloud House, Wisła, Malinka August 2020 ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

In March 2021 SEPL debuts on Mahorka with the specially prepared for the label "QUASAR_VARIATION", a recording directly connected to and based on the compounds of his previously self-released "QUASAR" 4 track collection of virtual electronic instruments improvisation recordings. released March 13, 2021 "It's all about physical perception." foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

After having played in different noisy pop, industrial, electro and math rock groups, fascinated by netlabels and musicians working under CC, he decided to try his hand at an electronic music project based on CC material. The Iliaque project, that has matured for several years now, seeks to exploit the potentialities of CC music and explores this world through choice of sources and samples. Iliaque's debut on Mahorka brings back with a bang the "Mahorka Remixes" series, taking on tracks from the inspiring and wide catalog of the label in the six tracks of the release. It is as much a tribute to the creative commons netlabel as to the remixed artists. released March 22, 2021 Artwork visual: “Construction” from Béa ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

The recording you are about to play brings about a challenge. For the ears. For the mind. For the concept of consciousness. Can we reach forward into time by listening to an echo? How can we not? These recordings were made, one after another in 1997 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY -- they seem to be alive, even now. Being audiophiles, we were always seeking new means of sound creation and the best ways to capture our explorations within our starving artist’s budget. Recording technology we had access to at the time was oft’ make shift and highly improvisational as well but these were high times for OSS and we used the Roland VS-880, 2 Gb hard drive 8 track recorder. Prior to that, the cassette evidence shows that we paid no attention to “turning down” to record. We overran boom boxes and whatever cheap ass mics we had and have dozens of purely distorted tapes. It wasn’t so much about trying to record for posterity or to make a record as much as it was to check ourselves to see if what we were doing was real. That the music stood on its own or, that what we played still sounded good, after the euphoria dissipated. We also were into bootlegs and tape-shares anyway and because we listened to archival recordings all the time, noise and distortion didn’t bother us, we felt that could figure out what was happening in the base-reality of our experience. We had so much faith: we could have been the top Christian Noise Band....the only Christian noise band. Sometimes we used broken headphones to make-shift contact mics. These mics were fashioned to make drones through controlled feedback. Contact mics duct taped on to any object that could be struck, scraped, dragged, bowed, yelled at or manipulated in any way contributed to our arsenal of audio audacity. Among our scattered and hacked means were such things, recycling karmic parameters of the post-industrial world of mangle and detritus. No one really remembers the dates of the session but the audio seems to suggest an agreed upon meeting and a recording with the best set up we had, going to the limits, in the sweat-box storage space on Powers Street. It must have been in the Spring or the Summer of 1997. The room was small enough that it might fit into the minds of 3 people focused on what they needed to do. The step we had to take was from feeling not that things were cluttered and in the way but ready to hand and available, nothing needed to feel excluded. We worked in the round at times, shifting roles and instruments. I think we all bore in mind Sun Ra's dictum that just as every member of the Marines was able to shoot a rifle everybody in Orphan Sound System was a percussionist. We used traditional instruments, modified them and invented instruments, gave them names they gave us to give them, which we have spoken about in the notes to our first release "Meet the System." Trap drum set, scrap metal percussion, gongs, electric guitars (prepared and unprepared), bass, tenor ukulele, mandolin, clarinet, musette, flutes, whistles, violin, Egyptian rebab, timbales, shortwave radio (with electrostatic playable antenna), walkman cassette tape player, lancelot, fourth orphan, trombone, tenor and alto sax." released April 8, 2021 "Layered Seed Water" has been recorded Live in Williamsburg Brooklyn in 1997 and has been considered a lost document of the 90s experimental music scene. Orphan Sound System are John El Manahi, Jeff Gburek and John Palumbo. The release of "Layered Seed Water" happens in concerted effort with net-labels Mahorka (Bulgaria), MuteAnt (USA), Ramble Records (Australia). A video introduction to the faces and places behind the Orphan Sound System and the announcement of "Layered Seed Water" in 2021: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDXF3TOOYMU Thanks to all. Watch the trailer video, please like and subscribe to the OSS channel. "My (Western) Easter listening happens to be an avant-garde recording put together in the mid-nineties in Italy and just now being released. Imagine works being recorded nearly a quarter-century ago still sounding fresh and relevant. This is the sound of Orphan Sound System. The project features the talents of Jeff Gburek, John El Manahi and John Palumbo. I find it difficult to compare it to an artist of that particular time period, though perhaps I can hear a corollary with groups like AMM, the scores of incredibly talented cassette culture artists who worked with lo-fi conditions to make incredible art, or radical composers like Richard Teitelbaum (eternal be his memory). This is improv music that never allows itself to become stale. The pieces feel like they are all the right length. The building of pieces, the tension held throughout, and the disintegration make for intriguing listening. As OSS have reunited after a long hiatus, I hope to see what, if any, new works are coming down the pipeline." --- musicyouneedtohear.com ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

He is also known for his collaboration work with Cyberian (on Amek and WTF is SWAG) as well as being a part of the now cult duo 80s Clash (with Dickie Slavkov) and the very promising project Lesnik (with SuB). "Remind Me Tomorrow" is not one's usual album and the tracks on it are not one's usual album tracks. The release formed and (Kaloyan insists) should be viewed as a collection of always in progress works, created to be used as tools for Kanz live performances. Yet, some of these "tools" are already hit tracks, starting with the Kanz debut on Mahorka on the compilation album "Eastern Depths Vol.3" - the breath-taking track "Mindless" in 2016. "Restless" followed on "Music for elevators vol.5" in 2017 and in 2020 "Conditions" came out on the epic "Eastern Depths IV".

Inspired by themes like sleep, dreams and nightmares, one track per day was produced and uploaded to YouTube with an accompanying video. "Working on this project we strived to find our way back to a means of production based on spontaneity and also allowed us to distance ourselves from the final product by removing afterthought and overproduction anxiety." 'Selected Sleep Studies' is a collection of 11 tracks, which represent a morsel of the 10 hours of music that is 'Sleep Studies'.

Fabien Robbe + Julien Palomo - Natural History, Rewritten (2:44) "Fabien Robbe and myself have been involved in several projects together since 2015, but this is our formal debut as a duo. It began as good, clean fun. Fabien piled up gear in his van and drove all the way from Brittany to my blessed shack in the suburbs of Paris, by then home of Improvising Beings. We assembled a monster electronic studio for a few days. I will now list the instruments to get rid of that matter: ARP 2600, ARP Sequencer, EMS Synthi E, Farfisa VIP 233, Kurzweil K-2500, Korg MS 10, Korg Wavestation, Solina String Ensemble, Waldorf Microwave XT. I spare you the list of eurorack modules, effects and controllers. Instinctively, we arranged it in an ecosystem where any instrument would respond to impulses from other instruments, rather than an orchestral color palette of varied sounds, making it difficult to recognize who did what, making sure interaction would be unavoidable. Bar a few leads distinctly Fabien's, the playing was symbiotic. To maintain a sense of order, we decided early on that we would anchor the project around melodic and rhytmic elements, not necessarily of the experimental kind. We also drew from the two concepts of the drone we are familiar with: Fabien's use thereof in traditional folk music, and my studies of, notably, Eliane Radigue's methods. Well, we poured everything we knew in this album, including a bit of aggressive free improv. Don't worry, it's tucked away somewhere you don't expect it, it'll be gone before you realize. We didn't want to be hampered by any consideration such as 'where are we going'. This is pretty much our 'Sgt. Peppers', we joked. For me, it's a first. I've been around challenging sounds more often than not. Fabien encouraged me to somewhat... entertain you, for a change. Those who have followed us know we are not the urban type. We have in common that a stroll in the forest or field nearby will fire our creativity, a stream, a light, and to be fully aware of it. Call us 'woke' or trite, we care about ecology, as a science, as a philosophy, as a branch of politics. We are artists and do not purport to show ready-made solutions to the crisis we are going through. Especially not with sounds that are sometimes abstract. But they are abstract with a quality that we like to see as organic, chlorophyllic, or rocky. Matter, material. And, according to the symbiotic, 'ecosystematic' way we created this music (good word, can we apply for a grant with it?), we felt we actually had tackled our subject. The fumbling of the human mind at the onset of a great catastrophe, mourning the impending collapse of nature. Hands feeling for the latch of the exit door - but there's no exit door anymore. Our choice of synthesizers is of course an added dimension to this line of thought, due to their inherent relationship to electricity, the nature of waveforms, the laws of physics. The mathematics of sound bring us closer to, - ARE the mathematics of the universe. Again, this is no new age vision - the album is clearly about the garbage we leave behind after a picnic in the park. I've already said too much. Please let your mind wander around these bare concepts, it will do the job. Oh and don't forget to shake your body when you feel like the music invites you to do so. Dance at the scene of the wildfires." --J.Palomo, July 2021 released July 10, 2021 ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1  Tracklist:01.

Are they forever intrinsically linked with our consciousness? What happens if we share them? Do they take hold in our larger narratives and become stories in their own right? Last year I released an album named 小さな夢達 (which reads as Chiisana Yumetachi) - Small Dreams. Today, just days after the first anniversary of its release I find myself listening to 10 remixes of those dreams. The Reinterpretation of Dreams, if you will. It is thanks to Ivo Petrov, label head of Mahorka, who envisioned this album as a great way to celebrate netlabel day 2021. He invited an amazing group of artists to contribute their remixes and share their own reinterpretations. There isn't a single track on there that isn't amazing - I find that on repeated listening different tracks stand out each time, sometimes the softer ones speak more to me, sometimes the weirder ones, then again, on another listen, it's the more energetic ones. But every time it sounds like a coherent whole. A world appears, held together by the threads woven into the fabric of the original tracks, but expanded into a multi-faceted sonic cosmos, a wider world for the original narrow story to expand into. And after the final remix, you're invited to wake up again to the meditative meta-verse of the Small Dreams: Where all the remixes expand on the original theme, my contribution - an afterthought of sorts - is there to take you into a meditative state build around the ambiances and field-recordings that lie at the core of 小さな夢達. My gratitude to all the artists who were kind enough to put in their work and creativity to contribute these remixes!

You rescue it, clean it up, spool it in, and when you play it you discover that the noise of the sea waves somehow got imprinted onto it and melded with the music. Every tune is deep within its own comfortable bed of noise, each sound treading through thick viscous aural quicksand, beats pop in from behind lush canopies of strings and pads, flocks of melodies swirl above, clouds of frequencies cast their shadows on top of everything else and the place becomes that bit cooler. Every tune does paint a scenery indeed, each is really alike a place you inhabit for a few minutes. They all feel tangible and expansive, they welcome roaming and exploration, so much is happening there, so much to see/hear/feel, so much to discover each time you return. It all sounds old and fresh, damaged yet fully contained, at the verge of collapse yet tightly controlled. There is certainly a story being told in this music, but it's a different story for each different listener. It's the kind of music that burrows in and pulls out of you as much as it brings and it's that mix of the internal and the external, right here and right now, that makes it an entirely personal experience. 4T Thieves is a magician at the top of his game! --Angel Draganov released July 31, 2021 Artwork picture: public domain Artwork design: Angel Draganov

LES - Relict - 1 (4:36) LES (LunarEscapeSystem) is an Israeli electronic music duo based in Tel Aviv, formed by Elena P. and Genrietta P., an ambient/soundscape/techno project that began collaborating six years ago and ever since has had numerous live A/V performances. The duo say they get their inspiration from the avant-garde electronic scene of western europe in the beginning of the 90s, the early electronics movement from the 60s, BBC radiophonic workshop recordings, Sci-Fi movies soundtracks. They have developed their own sonic language, inspired by the natural sound of the elements, modern urban chaos, space phenomena, and silence. Through the years, the duo grew as electronic music producers and sought to venture into new territories by collaborating with different artists, creating multidisciplinary co-operations that intend to combine art mediums. These co-operations push and expand the boundaries of the artists themselves, their listeners, and spectators. Working outside of accepted artistic paradigms, LES believes in the art’s potential as a hybrid set of actions. Both Genrietta and Elena’s core activities were initially set in the visual arts, and the sound experiences created by the project are intertwined with the visual. LES strives to suggest new potentials that are multi-sensual via the universal language of sound. released August 26, 2021 The Mahorka debut of LES, their album "Anisotropic Collapse" is an exploration of glitchy ambient techno soundscapes inspired by Stephen Hawking's book “A Brief History of Time” and space phenomena, released as free (cc) digital download and amazingly beautiful limited digipak CD. "Anisotropic Collapse" was recorded using analogue and modular synths and an "anti-radio" instrument that captures electromagnetic fields. Enjoy the voyage! Music and artwork by LES. Mixed by Assaf Tager, and mastered in Artefacts Studio, Berlin.

Common quantum physicists' interpretation and statement is that there is no such thing as matter and what we all call matter, in reality is energy. The whole universe is energy, frequencies, vibrations. What we observe is energy vibrations that are slowed down to a level that is perceivable by our senses and sensors. It all exists thanks to forces which make particles quiver and yet keep the whole system together. Many spiritual or metaphysical things in essence have always been just physics which we have not properly seen and understand yet. 2. "Spaces lost, abandoned, cheated by history and nature have an odd, somewhat surreal charm ... When things and places lose the context that gave them function or meaning, you can rediscover them. Useless, even freed in a sense, they gain a specific aura. Not only do we see them as new, but they also turn their surprised sights towards us and try to ask us a question ... Sometimes an accidental glance is enough to give in to the force of that place for years. Sometimes a place lives in a person since childhood.” -- Katharina Raabe, Monika Sznajderman, taken from the intro to„Znikająca Europa”, Wydawnictwo Czarne, Wołowiec, 2006. These two contexts were the inspiration for the energy, frequency and vibration of Wolne Pokoje’s “Kostropate”.

Juxtaposition of cyclical, seeping melodies. The paint on the library walls begin to drip, to melt away, as new forms emerge in your perception. An impressive immensity. Familiar contours take flight, melding into a singularity. A conversation heard in the distance. A view of yourself asleep in bed. The singing voices now pull you back despite any resistance. Through the window. "Recorded on my birthday in 2019, this is my first release that relies solely on turntablism.

Their second album, "Inland Empire" was released in 2017. In 2021 their third album, "Slaves and Masters", comes out on Mahorka, the dialectic as a narrative that examines the exploitation of labour and social stratification, with the latter seen primarily as unequal bargaining power between labour and capital. Particularly when workers are paid comparatively low wages and the latter as a lack of workers' self-management, fulfilling choices and leisure in an economy. More specifically, it is a discourse on economics as well as a social critique of consumption as a function of social class and of consumerism, derived from the stratification of people and the division of labor which are social institutions of the feudal period that have continued to this day. Evident in the current state of hacienda farmer's in the Philippines. A Filipino farmer working at the Hacienda Najalin and Hacienda Luisita gets paid less than 4 Euros a week. Giving them a handful kilos of rice and canned goods as the subsidy to dissmiss their struggles. released September 27, 2021

On this EP, friends and companions of Sven, along with selected for the project Mahorka residents, got their hands on this classic to rework it into a spectacular trip of completely new and diverse looks and feels. One song, many different interpretations... from industrial to ambient, from rock to rhyhm'n'noise, having even the techno/trance-directed "club" killers, it is unbelievable how differently this defining song has been reinvented over and over again. released October 10, 2021 original music and production by: Sven Phalanx remix, additional music and production by: Sven Phalanx, Anatoly Grinberg, Different Souls, diagnosis autopsychosis, STAHLSCHLAG, xotox, Greyhound, Toxic Derwish, Ah Cama-Sotz, MRS WATANABE, LaUD23, Rastlos, Brainquake, After White Smoke, Autonomaton, YURA YURA (mastered by Yann Faussurier), Dotkov

Per Scelstak - MIMIMI Frustrado (5:00) released October 24, 2021 TENTATIVAS FRUSTRADAS (Failed Attempts), Sept. 18th, 2021 "Sometimes you get bored with yourself and, simply, want to get rid of your old life. In pandemic times, such thing is easily possible when you feel in such a bore in lockdown, in isolation. Per Scelstak came into existence when George Christian felt disgust with himself and, also, with the way virtuality has become something exploitative in his life. In fact, Per was born only as a pseudonym when he sent a concert piece for a competition (for which he didn’t win or earn anything). The secret behind his name can be found in contemporary classical music composers: Per Nörgard, Giacinto Scelsi and Walter Smetak. Influential to the mind behind Per, a certain guy whose last name is Pereira? Quite possibly. Per has only gained an image, though, when his creator felt in a real distress, in his personal life. Per killed the past social profile of George Christian, which was too revealing of his thoughts, too personal, too disastrous to be reached, too naïve. Per is the result of George’s anger against the way personal life is treated in the virtuality, by the social networks. Nowadays, Per is in conciliation with his creator. But not for so long. Per is different. Per never talks in 1st person. Per is never personal. Per can be read here, or not. You might not understand why such distance, but probably you are closer to him. More than you imagine. Per is another face of reality that wants to be in the realm of different senses. And the reflection of such persona is in his music. It took a long time to George Christian figure out the existence of Per. But Per has been following his steps since the days he decided to experiment only with electronics in his 3rd album, Three Dimensions of Unrecognizement and Other Unknown Reaches. Maybe he can be found in Exílios 3. Per can also be found in Secretos Universos. His real debut, though, is with two other crazy fellows from India: Hatiyar and Hazardnaut. Per is George into electronic extremities. TENTATIVAS FRUSTRADAS is the first album under Per’s name and a sum of principles that have been guiding his electronic experimentation. In fact, this principle is just a single surrealist one: automatic writing. Per is completely ignorant concerning on how a machine language operates. Per IS a machine. Per IS a computer. Per IS nothing. These pieces can be understood as inner failures. No songs, no hooks, no melody that can be easily sung. It requires a real deranged mind to deconstruct and build another world. Per is no strange to post-minimalism, post-spectralism, post-jazz, post-rock, post-psychedelia. His electroacoustics comes from the inwards of MIDI and tone colors’ researches to the spontaneous structural architectures. Per is NEVER quiet. His brain listens to several voices and do not find peace in a single one. Per embraces all the voices. Heaven, hell, purgatory. Per has been in all of these places. He invites you to dance with your wrist and dry yourself into the waters. His manners may be of electronic, artificial gestures. But what he delivers is plain and pure reality. Cruel REALITY. Your nightmares should be dancing." All the pieces were composed, mixed and produced by George Christian Vilela Pereira, with the deranged spirit of Per Scelstak in mind. Softwares: Ableton Live 8, Adobe Audition CS6 and Fruity Loops. Recorded between June and August, 2021.

Abu Ama, the driving force behind Arabxo, brings dub, experimental, Arabic and Sufi dub in one. On this beautiful double binding he gives an overview of his work. A beauty of an album. As I have known Abu for a long time, full of dedication, always innovative, he takes this album to an amazing height." -- Pedro Maras a.k.a. BedouinDrone "Abu Ama is an uprising worldwide artist in dub kind of music but presented in his very unique way and style. He's giving it many names. Lets point out "arabxo", as an abstract mixture of futuristic middle eastern scapes, voices and instruments with subsonic echoes of dubbed out bass. Sound manipulations far beyond the known in all its features. New and retrospective sounding at the same time. Messages in pads and atmospheres brought in a dub manner. All tunes recorded in one shot, one version at a time. Far further and further in dub science innovation his own way, Abu gladly represents his gypsy roots and creates his own roots mixture of beats and sounds that takes you on a journey with each tune. Each track has individual soul that can be literary felt from the speakers. Each tune carries different specific message, either spiritual, soul, social, ecological, political or related to many different things of today's earth life he cares about. Abu is displaying a channel of communication between his soul and you, the receiver, whose radio is set to receive this frequent waves of music. Music at its best.

"It is universal (in relation to the universe) electronic music. It is the teknological sound of the movement of all particles in their dance through the cosmos. The movement is chaotic and in all dimensions of space. It is not controlled and does not come down to point movements, it is just there, in the whole evolution. The sound comes from each atom and its subparticles after the big bang, the music is an echo of the creation of the universe. But why teknoiz? Because it before everything is tekno, think of the teknological process of creation and, of course, of the term techno. Noiz - because it's not crystal clear, it's not and cannot be explicitly defined in spectral and time domains, its roar comes on all frequencies from all angles of the known and unknown cosmos. Set your receivers and hear it all - a convolution of the crazy dance of the particles around and throughout us as living citizens of the universe, an obscure long delayed echo of the fanfares of creation and the symphony of drones of existence.

Boban Ristevski + Philippe Neau - Stalker (7:28) released February 2, 2022 Few of the music projects of Boban Ristevski (also known as Lefterna) are concentrated and based on exploring mostly the ambient / drone and industrial / noise related kinds of music. With elements of minimalism / improvisation / abstraction, etc.; the music is balancing between the more structured forms and the improvised approach. Philippe Neau creates mental landscapes ("mental-scapes", if you want). In his music he makes them up of non-narrative sounds, atonal melodies, worrifying glitches, organic textures, hollow field-recordings, abstract notes, abyssal echoes and whispered distant voices. A "disturbing" atmosphere, tinged brightness and darkness, takes shape and enfolds the listener / viewer. "Boban contacted me for a collaboration. We exchanged files over the Internet and worked on our own, knowing each other's work, with the idea of creating something that mixes our sound universes. Maybe some sort of stormy, industrial landscape. In my head, this collaboration could bring more industrial sounds to my interior landscape, take on a more noisy, metallic dimension." --Philippe Neau

Hypnos - Wing Head (7:28) 24Bit released February 13, 2022 With his third album Hypnos drives us on a journey of sonic invasion, a journey into the personal ways of the artist in dealing with narcissistic and vindictive behavior in our society, where we are constantly exaggerating our life stories and achievements in an aura of overinflated importance, to the point that we become defensive when questioned or when someone challenges our conscious or subconscious idea of superiority. "Vindictiveness" is Hypnos' most structured, most complex release to date, revealing yet another side of the project, inspired by club techno aesthetics, with constructions derived from and building on early rave music rhythms and sequences and everything merged into swathes of ambient fields of long, calm and heavy drones. Thanks to: - Ivo Petrov (for the trust, support and help releasing the album) - Ivelin Iliev (for his fantastic work on the video promos) - Kliment Dichev (for helping with the final polishing of the sound in his amazing studio) - Martin Dimchev (for giving so many priceless tips on mixing and editing most of the tracks) - Angel Draganov (for his talent and artwork)

Sven Lemke (Sven Phalanx, Andreas Davids + Sven Phalanx, Schattenspiel, Schwarzwald) and Marc Ceulemans (Brainquake, Zonevreemd, Toxic Derwish, Psych Krist Kastrator) have both had already outstanding contributions to the catalog when Marc was invited to remix Sven's "Klangtherapie" for the special remix album (mahorka.org/release/288) and they got to know and meet each other. Since they had many similarities in background and musical preference, they decided to compose and produce something together. This collaboration worked just perfectly and soon they suprised the label with the ten tracks of "From The Oblivion Lounge" album as presented here. From desolate ambient and rough rhythmic experimental to technoid industrial, they made this all sound very different but coherent. We can hear a lot of both of them here, but also something completely different, befitting the harshness of today's society. released February 20, 2022 cover artwork: Marc Ceulemans

Sevensy - Coalescing (6:20) "Reinvention of the Sacred" is a musical consideration of the after-effects of the 'god is dead' idea on Western society. Nothing has replaced the ideals represented in the best of spiritual thought, and our behaviours have changed as a result. For some, there is no longer any reason to behave in an ethical manner, nothing to live up to. The vacuum left by the decline in the perceived importance of the spiritual search calls for a reevaluation of what has meaning, what is important. The music that comprises "Reinvention of the Sacred" is very minimalistic, almost 'not here' at times. This approach was taken in an attempt to aurally depict a non-dual continuum, wherein there is no separation between matter and Spirit, profane and divine. released February 22, 2022 Artwork by Jan Brooks

A sense of dada, multi-faceted post-jazz-electronic-billy and electroacoustic / site-specific aesthetics melt together into one singularity, reaching structure and chaos simultaneously. Different from the previous two works (one self-released and the other on US netlabel Zenapolæ), "Combination" is the now complete evolution of an existent dialogue between the two musicians and improvisers. All the pieces were recorded during a live session in December 2020 at Andrea’s house in Verucchio (east Italy). released February 28, 2022 Andrea Marinelli: prepared drums, synthetizers, live electronics Demetrio Cecchitelli: electric guitar, transverse flute, clip contact mic, live electronics Recording, mixing, mastering: Andrea Marinelli Cover artwork: Andrea Marinelli

What music would you like to hear in it? This was the question i asked myself one day and these 4 tracks are the answer to it. I thought I´d like something floating, developing very slowly and droning very softly as I am gliding slowly though any given landscape. So this EP is dedicated to Buckminster-Fuller and I hope you like the drift." released April 19, 2022 The album was recorded by Alexander Holtz with a eurorack-synthesizer and an electric guitar in his homestudio in Koblenz, Germany during the winter of early 2021.

Waldgrenze - Earth (10:09) 24Bit Waldgrenze (border of the forest) - the project of Theo Kovalev (Wave Resistance), focused on ambient and experimental electronic music, as well as acoustic sound production experiments and field recordings, is inspired by the ecological idea of friendly coexistence of two opposing sides - nature and technology. Born in joint improvisational jam sessions with other artists, the project eventually transformed and acquired its own sound character, retaining the original idea of the changes made to live recordings to preserve the feeling of "here and now", where in each composition you can hear the unique state of different places. The third Waldgrenze album "Ökoton" is dedicated to the boundary between Earth and space in order to emphasize the unity of people living on a tiny planet in the middle of the infinity. The word ecotone was coined from a combination of eco(logy) plus -tone , from the Greek oikos (house) and tonos (tension) – in other words, a place where ecologies are in tension. released May 13, 2022 Music and cover by Theo Kovalev. Mastering by Anatoly Grinberg. Participated in recordings: Vadim Rumyantsev (1,7 track) - electronics; Alexander Shumilichev (2 track) - electronics; Andrey Podolin (8 track) - vocal, flute; Anton Popov (9 track) - sitar.

Fallen - A New Beginning (9:47) Fallen's debut album on Mahorka stayed unreleased for quite some time before finding its right home. It's working title was "No Love Is Sorrow" that was changed for the definitive release. “But the second she opened her eyes and looked at me, I knew; she was either going to be the death of me or she was going to be the one who finally brought me back to life.” --Colleen Hoover Collected earlier reviews of the album: Felthat (UK), review by Hubert Heathertoes: "Bracaloni goes a bit deeper with his music - the melancholy of it it's not just the core of it but in terms of composition it helps to understand that where it stems from - his education in the matter of film music, waging and balancing - the mildly experimental textures with genuine melodies and phasing the moods of different quality - that takes you way way more than just a melancholic experience." ||| Ondarock, review by Valerio D'Onofrio, score: 7: "Bracaloni here plays and performs synths, piano, organ, oboe, santoor, koto, electric guitar and bass as well as an infinite number of sound manipulations that lead to ethereal cosmic flows whom refer to the older generation of electronic musicians: from Brian Eno to krautrock, from Mike Oldfield's suites to Vangelis' cinematics, up to the Alan Parsons Project's memories masterfully summarizing his poetry." ||| Rumore Magazine, review by Alessandro Besselva Averame, score: 7:"Synthesizers, pianos, soft rhythmic pulsations and the arcane echoes of an oboe, feed a great solemnity here." ||| Blow Up Magazine, review by Gino Dal Soler, score: 7:"As the ideal sequel of the previous album Secrets of the Moon released by Psychonavigation in 2015, Lorenzo's new album is electronic sound in its ambient, cinematic and evocative declinations. Fallen's new album is appreciated for honesty and personality of the author." ||| Audiofollia, review by Francesco Lenzi: "Fallen's new album is very beautiful and rich, it continues to work on ambient textures already included in the previous album, but here they have evolved pointing the way for a new musical path." ||| Music Won't Save you, review by Raffaello Russo (Rockerilla):"The identity of almost all the instruments here tend to stray, transfiguring into a dream and into a rhythmic flow of sound, infused with stretches of oriental scents and imbued with emotional spontaneity, culminating in piano harmonies and synthetic hugs" ||| In Your Eyes, review by Stefano Cavanna, score 8.7:"Bracaloni's new album shines by own beauty with its ancient roots, and for that, it doesn't deserve to be tarnished by any comparison or juxtaposition. The musical sensibility of Lorenzo Bracaloni reveals itself above average once again, making the composer one of the most credible ambient music authors and not only in the italian scene." ||| CrampiWordpress, review by Marcello Berlich (ex-Losing Today): "Ambient rarefactions and minimalist repetitions mixed together into a sound that is rooted in the impressionist lesson" Youtube video for the first track: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mbAhhc-uyI released July 2, 2022 Written, Composed, Performed, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Fallen in 2016 thechildofacreek.bandcamp.com (album will soon, in around 2 weeks, be also available there!) soundcloud.com/fallenproject www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063608226745 Instruments performed, recorded, processed: Piano, Electric Piano, Organ, Synthesizers, Guitars, Field Recordings Cover artwork design by Fallen and Ivo Petrov

Electrohollyc & MO. - My Cosmos (Brainquake's Vocal Radio Edit) (5:00) released July 14, 2022 MO., an artist who sings, composes, produces and releases wave and electronic music almost exclusively on his Invitro Independent Music label, a Depeche Mode addict from early age, also heavily hooked on all styles of dance, loving pop, listening to rock and totally into life after death, Love and Eternity, has been born (in the distant 1976), living and working in the town of Pleven, Bulgaria, somewhere in the countryside of Eastern Europe, just where the Mahorka netlabel happened to be headquartered. At the dawn of the new millenium, back in 2002, Mahorka had just appeared online as one of the first netlabel pioneers, while MO. released his debut single "Edinstven" ("Only"), which quickly became popular on all radio stations in Bulgaria. Pop diva Maria Ilieva took part in the project, and the remixes on the CD maxi single were produced by the already cult porno_BPM electro pioneers KiNK, SuB and Kei, as well as by the Nu Ages duo, Second Body (Emilian Gatsov) and alternative band SKRE4. After a four-year hiatus, MO. returned with the double maxi single "Loveblaster", featuring an important bunch of names from his native Bulgarian underground scene such as COOH (Ivan Shopov), Kenogo a.k.a. Ogonek, Second Body, Music Sound Machine, DeckStarr, Paul Legend, Dope Buzz, Victor's Mob and of course the biggest, today world famous in the dance music scene, KiNK - it was his remix of "Loveblaster" that became the first Bulgarian song broadcast on Fashion TV, as soundtrack to the documentary on the avant-garde designers of Bulgaria. The musical journey of MO. continued with "It's No Good / All The Time In The World" (A Tribute To Depeche Mode) released in 2010 - a double EP with a downtempo chillout part one (mixes by Pixszels, Ghostwheel, Dope Buzz) and club mixes part two (Monophonique, Paul Legend, Dr. Scissors, DJ Smoke and Dope Buzz). Next up was the 'Foe Foe' project that came out in three separate EPs with remixes from Gravity Co., Diass, Alessandro, Anton Pau, FaAXA, Lu40, Help Me Jones, Protuberance, Monophonique and Phil O'Davidson. In 2017, in collaboration with Grooveman, MO. releaased the EP "Dirty", also with a brutal remix by Charlie (Les Animaux Sauvages). 2018 is the year in which another collaboration with Lu40 followed, the single "Don't" plus remix EP featuring Alexander Waltz, Alessandro, WildSoul. Fast forward to 2021, Mahorka was going stronger than ever, including with the very special Netlabel Day collaborative reworks releases each year, while MO., an international popstar already, unveiled a new project with the producer Electrohollyc, premiering the hit single "My Cosmos". Soonafter MO. and the Mahorka label boss Ivo Petrov were convinced that this is the track to get the Mahorka reworks treatment, a longstanding idea and dream of both of them, after 20 years of friendship and numerous common collaborators. A rollercoaster of killer reworks was assembled and released on Mahorka for Netlabel Day on 14.07.2022. Original track composed and produced by: Electrohollyc & MO.

Then more sounds were exchanged in both directions and new exciting music started to take shape and direction that was finalized in this first officially released EP from the hopefully ongoing collaboration of the duo. We are really happy to present this work on Mahorka, where both artists have released earlier and had their defining debuts, with BedouinDrone's album "The Border" from 2018 in and Runi Graph's "For I know that the view of a tree is not subjective" EP from 2021. released August 6, 2022 Music by BedouinDrone (Tracks 1-10) and Runi Graph (Tracks 5 and 7-10) Artwork by BedouinDrone

Anyway, Pandacetamol and eSoundC (later on starting his solo electronic project Autonomaton) bonded over a mutual love of off-the-wall and psychedelic electronica. As the years past, the internet kept them connected with lots of music people in common, but they never managed to work together. Until now. In a collaboration long overdue, jokingly titled "Autopanda Pandanomaton" by the Mahorka label boss (which eventually they loved and it stayed), they revisit each other's ideas in experimental dub, abstract electronica, idm and ambient ending up in a coherent new direction that leaves us asking for more. released August 21, 2022 Music: Niki Stanchev (Autonomaton) and Paul Alexander (Pandacetamol) Artwork: public domain photo collage

In this third EP of them together as Bass&Delayer (after debut on Ephedrina Netlabel in 2014 and "Signal from our Earth" on Typekonnection) they made a careful upgrade of their sounds, composed it from distance and finalized it in nearness, "looking for the perfect beat". released October 30, 2022 Composed and produced by Bass&Delayer Cover photos by S_VIATOR Logos by D VIEW Artwork design by Angel Draganov

I’d love to be able to summon someone who’s responsible for this fuck-up of a creation. Because then I’d be able to kill them. Slowly.” --Richard Morgan Angry artist #1: Weldroid. The 8-bit emulation of an electrical engineer, a cgi artist and a coffee connoisseur merged into one person and left alone in the middle of a forest in the middle of a forgotten peninsula built of discarded and ancient electronic devices and lots of copper wire. Those little robotic things living in the forest tend to like the noises he makes... Angry artist #2: Jeremy Rice. Boston-area lover of synthesizers and synth music, striving to make his own electronic music with a curious sense of introspection and mystery. As Abdicant and Curious Inversions he has notable releases on Kahvi Collective and Mahorka. Also in Cognition Delay with Paul Alexander (Pandacetamol, Fluffy Inside) on Rednetic and in The Hive Project with Anthony Paul Kerby (The Circular Ruins) on DataObscura. "When you feel terrible about the unnecessary loss of life, value and sanity: get together with a friend, establish a band, make some noise. Somehow turn that murderous frustration into waveforms. [...] not the last time you hear from us." -Weldroid Composed and produced by Abdicant and Weldroid Cover artwork graphics by Weldroid

Philippe Neau - A Large Quiet Place (45:00) ""A quiet place" is an album where we are immersed in the imaginary and sound vision of a motionless traveller. This trip was built from field recordings recorded in real places, inside or outside. To these sounds are added analog ambient sounds. This sound mass is worked, mixed, kneaded, "sculpted" to create a "new landscape", stratified and polyphonic. This vision took shape during more or less dreamy encounters and walks with the elements of the landscapes. The sounds mingled and overlapped, as did the places, gradually in my memory. From layer to layer, I let the "sound material do" in order to prolong its meditative states. I followed the vibrations. The sound material has thickened to give shape to a long reverie in one/several imagined/invented places, sort of separate spaces .... non-places? My thoughts and sounds are thus fixed around the trees, the clouds, the light, the movements of the sun, the sea, the water, the birds, the night, the wind, the little secret noises, the displacements. Of the fullness of the landscape, of the perception of the landscape, of the impressions. From the sound of my mind. From the presence..." released November 26, 2022 Composed and produced by Philippe Neau Photo and painting by Philippe Neau Cover design by Angel Draganov

RECORDS, a label that has done great in the international music scene, including with the very dear sublabel Lontano Series. First through Dub, Reggae applied to techno, and in recent years dedicating himself exclusively to experimental and ambient music, Andrea's intense and prolific work as Music For Sleep has resulted in sorts of a personal and intimate music diary of over 60 albums since 2016. His output, both as artist and label manager, has been a huge inspiration for us and a source of numerous favorite albums through the years. So we are really happy to welcome him with a special Music For Sleep debut on Mahorka! "Esaminazioni Cosmiche" was written and composed between January and February 2021 during a period of introspection, about the world I lived in (and still live in) all through an external, cosmic gaze. This album is dedicated to the Italian ambient minimalist movement of the seventies and eighties. Music by Andrea Porcu Cover artwork by Angel Draganov

Having been musical compadres for many years prior, Adrien (Adrien75, Tawdry Otter, Dolphins Of Venice) Michael (Jet Jaguar, Patio, Tonkyn Pearson) and Tim (10:32, Dolphins of Venice, Isolated Gate) eventually formed a habit of sharing unfinished songs and sound snippets thus an eventual moniker was mashed together containing aspects of their respective birth-names. Michael kicked things off with rhythmic bones which Tim and Adrien fleshed out with guitar pickings, drum beatings, field recordings, and other miscellanies. The three of them massaged the results into a shape that greets you in the form of “Monovista Bounce”, coming out as free (cc) digital download and a limited edition cassette on Mahorka.

While exploring more beat-based sonic territories from electronics and industrial music to instrumental hip-hop (still balanced with beautiful ambient renditions), this second part manages to convey the same cinematographic atmosphere as the original album, finding at the same time a new and fresh dynamic. - "The Moodygoer" - original album : mahorka.bandcamp.com/album/the-moodygoer - "The Moodygoer Remixes Part I" : mahorka.bandcamp.com/album/the-moodygoer-remixes-part-i Mastered by Anatoly 'Tokee' Grinberg.

Dreary soundscapes shaken by menacing impacts. Massive synthetic reefs. A noisy and rumbling beat against the background of warm and transparent melodies. Heavy landscapes pierced with layers of concrete music, as if the conductor has gone mad, and the musicians are playing on broken instruments, looking with hope at the rising sun of a new era of mercy... Beware! The dive can be endless. Anatoly Grinberg (Tokee, Massaith, Dead Voices On Air) is from Israel/Russia, resident of labels ant-zen, Hymen, Mahorka, Furnace, and Leonid Churilov (A-BELL) is from Belarus and has released on ADX records group, SSI, The day of life for gotten and M.A.D. After online meeting, it was decided by both of musicians to record material for an album. Recording and mixing took place remotely in Moscow (Russia) and Minsk (Belarus), during the quarantine of 2020 - 2021. That is why this work can be considered a cast of that disturbing time. The authors found much in common in approaches and beliefs. Subsequently, the duo united under the common name TVAŃ and has contributed to various labels and publishers (Monumental (RU),No Devotion Records (USA), M.A.D.

He is part of the New Weird Italia collective and co-founder of the "screw wave" label Riforma. Adriano plays with tape, electricity and various sonic masses to explore sounding environments. Adriano Cava's debut on Mahorka was finalized under the name "Lineology" after a few iterations of the sonic contents, names, sides order and design in discussions with the label. “These tracks originated from a basic approach to sounds. Focusing only on the frequencies' "mass", I warped and sculpted it following irregular imaginary lines. When some granular samplers, a digital delay and a synth got stuck in a circular resampling chain, they started generating feedbacks, saturation and clipping. Listening to and contemplating this "sonic stalemate" I began to deepen it by stretching and pitching down each texture and each note. The "magnetic" side replays the same game using an old magnetophone (a Castelli tape recorder borrowed from a friend). Each "digital" track is overdubbed in a singular reel loop and then expanded again, adding few new elements. Both processes were dark and unconscious. The eight (4+4) tracks, split in two sides of a tape, are still open, intentionally released without a final edit.” SIDE A: Digital Lines I - IV SIDE B: Magnetic Lines I-IV Recording, mixing, mastering: Adriano Cava Cover Artwork: Adriano Cava and Ivo Petrov

George Christian - O Vento - Versão Elétrica (Bonus) (3:58) Introduction by George Christian ""Nothingness, ou... O Vento" is an album that took a long time to be discovered and to arise. Its real beginning came during the pandemic of COVID-19, in 2021, in which I was searching for a new sound in my guitar playing during the self-imposed isolation period. The pandemic has had its retreat, as well as a new political period has started in my country, Brazil, in 2023. The album indirectly speaks about this transitional period, as much as it’s a reflection of my own urge of living through music-making. Thanks to my friend artist Iarly Patricio, I’ve had an epiphany of an album I could release having her charcoal carving picture as a cover. The cover art blends her picture of a face and an A.I. representation of a picture based upon the art of the painter William Turner. The music was recorded sporadically from February 2021 until January 2023. As a result of such individual research, this is a very percussive album, even when having noises, with drones and electric moments by the end. I aimed to make a blend between the new African desert blues with a percussive Brazilian guitar with it, as much as working on the exploration of different textures. The starting point as a conceptual inspiration for the album is the song “O Vento” by Dorival Caymmi. I read it as a mystical and, at the same time, very naturalistic invocation of the wind as much as of the work of the fishermen. Both in its ventures (peixe que dá dinheiro = fish that bring money) and obstacles (Vento que vira o barco = Wind that turn the ship). I consider Caymmi’s guitar playing on “Canções Praieiras” (“Songs of the Beach”), a collection of songs that he released in 1949, somehow as a spiritual precursor to the guitar music I’ve been aiming to crystalize as my own throughout the years. And the fact that I’m living in the region that he once lived and had the inspiration of such songs reinforces the spiritual linkage that I have with him. “Nothingness, ou… O Vento” has a progression that comes from concrete, naturalistic sounds, to more abstract ones. It’s still a guitar album at heart. However, it gives room also for other instruments to enrich the narrative and the concept. I’m the sole musician here, but the inspiration that I’ve taken from Caymmi or my aforementioned friend makes the album less lonesome than it is. Disintegration is the key theme of the album. It's not only all about the power of the wind, but also the way the wind disintegrates what’s solid, moves seas and changes lives. And, so, I’m singing and playing these sounds as a hope of changes in our way of living and, of course, listening to music with new ears." released April 1, 2023 All compositions by George Christian, except track 1 - composition by Dorival Caymmi, arrangements by George Christian George Christian: Acoustic and electric guitars, electric bass, vocals, piano, keyboards (strings), electroacoustics, production and design Art: Iarly Patricio (charcoal engraving) and Artificial Intelligence through William Turner's painting.

Plurals - A Woven Medicine (8:24) released April 9, 2023 Plurals formed in 2007 and are currently based in Brighton and London, UK. The band consists of Dave Hamilton-Smith, Mike Neaves and Daniel W J Mackenzie. Plurals create improvised music using a variety of instruments and sources including guitar, synthesisers, voice, tape machines, radio, sonified objects, pedals and feedback systems. Though initially associated with the UK noise underground, the band now employs elements from a wide set of genres, resulting in music that is multilayered, progressive, dynamic and surprisingly composed given its improvised nature. Plurals have released material on Dead Pilot Records, Oaken Palace, Southern Records (Latitudes Sessions), Tor Press, Dead Sea Liner, Striate Cortex, RHP CDrs, Vacant Fulfilment, Structured Disasters, Panarus Productions and Sheepscar Light Industrial. Belgian label Silken Tofu has released a 2xCD live album, as well as a largely ambient 12" called Tri Tone. Additionally, Plurals have issued a small number of self-releases. In April 2023 they debuted on Mahorka with the album "Growing the Sea", released also as digipak CD edition. The material on "Growing the Sea" is extracted from a four hour session of improvisations and experiments, recorded at New River in London. Parts of the recording were guided by compositional and structural procedures, as well as more considered approaches to instrumental interaction. In translating the recorded material into a cohesive album, a new approach was taken to instill a sense of dynamic and narrative progression, enhanced by a more focused method of mixing, sequencing and editing.

Equally influenced by the works of Philip Glass and Mylene Farmer, Petridisch’s music explores the greyer areas of the psyche with inevitable elements of light and humor. Although mostly known for the use of Vocaloid, Petridisch also has a fondness for Farfisas, Vermonas and reverb units. The end results are hazy, yet somehow also crystal clear, images of both the past and the future. Thor Maillet also founded his label Fish Prints Inc. in 2018, aiming to bring curiously composed sounds to the world, past and present, with no specific or planned genre ties binding. Releasing on cassettes, CDs and handmade minidisc editions, the label is home of Barbara Morgenstern, Cryostasium, a wave, a mouth;, Quarks, among other outstanding artists. It has a unique spot in our hearts as a source of great and always interesting music and huge inspiration. Long time friendship has led to some overdue collaborations between Petridisch / Fish Prints and Mahorka. Recently we welcomed Petridisch with a very special guest Planck Tone mix and now we are really happy to announce the release of his debut album on Mahorka, "Extrait", coming out also in a beautiful limited cassette edition.

He is also in Cognition Delay, together with Paul Alexander (Pandacetamol, Fluffy Inside), in The Hive Project, with Anthony Paul Kerby (The Circular Ruins) and in Asshole Galaxy, with Weldroid. After his magical debut on Mahorka, "In-Group" from 2022, "I Am Not Sure How This Makes Me Feel" is Abdicant's second album on the label, which is quite different... "The author's memento mori, composed during a time of illness and recovery. Ruminations on the ability to hold two contradictory beliefs as "true." A chaotic mixing of musical influences, hardware and software, rhythm and tonality, light and dark." released May 21, 2023

Cognition Delay - Lucidity (6:22) 24Bit released June 17, 2023 Cognition Delay is a duo of US artist Jeremy Rice (Abdicant, Curious Inversions) and UK artist Paul Alexander (Pandacetamol, Fluffy Inside) who as Kahvi Collective label mates admired each other's contrasting approaches in music and felt compelled to collaborate. Their defining "Strange Sedatives" album (from 2022 on Rednetic) continues to amaze and has shown that Cognition Delay is a unique meeting of musical mindsets. While they have never met in-person, Paul & Jeremy have found a collaborative sweet spot that melds their respective solo projects into something new and shiny. A refined sound, within an undefined genre. It is with pride and delight, for both the artists and the label, that their new "Mostly Dreaming" album appears on the Mahorka imprint. Analog layers, hypnotic passages, half-heard conversations, morphing rhythms, fuse with thrilling bursts of unexpected melody. The experience is deep, immersive, ethereal, even vaguely nostalgic. Repeated listens will yield hidden sonic treasure. Truly a soundtrack for your dreams. Composed and produced by: Paul Alexander & Jeremy Rice Mastered by: Black Particle Artwork by: Jeremy Rice

Departure (7:08) "Lost weekend" is the latest project of Croatian artist Roberto Vodanović Čopor, that uses field recordings of local people's speech, underwater hydrophone recordings and contact microphone recordings to explore the diversity of sounds and the identity of the island of Vis. Through experimentation with the collected audio elements, the artist has created a sound map of the island, showing its uniqueness and encourages listeners to get a deeper understanding of this special place through this work. Undersea hydrophone recordings bring the sounds of the deep and the life in the waters around Vis. Through the sounds of marine organisms, air bubbles, noise currents and other sound phenomena, listeners get an insight into the diversity of the undersea. Contact microphone recordings of vibrations and sounds transmitted through the metal surfaces of the ferry connecting the island and the mainland were can also be heard - engine sounds, passenger footsteps and other characteristic sounds. released July 4, 2023 All field recordings, contact microphone and hydrophone recordings, as well as recordings of various objects/sources were done by Roberto Vodanović Čopor.

He also, quite notably, has been the manager of Kahvi Collective since 2001, which has gone from strength to strength and definitely arrived at 'cult' status in the scene. In 2015 we had his Mahorka debut releases - "Mahorka netlabel day mashup" and "Glass EP". Since then we've had 10 attributed to 4T Thieves releases, one of which on digipak CD - the already classic "Hauntology" from 2019. In 2023 we are more than happy to be releasing his second digipak CD on Mahorka - "The Shipping forecast", a stellar new album and also special collaborative project, which features, besides 9 new beautiful 4T Thieves original tracks, remixes of some of them from Room of Wires, Abdicant, Pandacetamol, Weldroid and Tim Koch. released July 8, 2023 Artwork by Angel Draganov and 4T Thieves

One Tru Odd - Set Fire (5:11) One Tru Odd has been around longer than intended or expected, mostly helping other people’s talents shine - as much as the people in question would let him. He has been, and probably will continue being, in more other artists’ bands than reasonable and has done more unprofitable music for theatre than is considered decent. When time allows for it, One Tru Odd releases music under the aliases V.K., Bissquit, and Bassquit, none of which are real human names. “Hits for the Misplaced” is his second outing as One Tru Odd after 2021’s “This E.P”. As per his music, his opinion of humanity is fairly favourable. released July 12, 2023 All music written, performed, programmed, recorded and mixed by One Tru Odd Lyrics and vocals by Vlad von Doom Everything related to One Tru Odd and Vlad von Doom is Vladimir Gueorguiev All of the above want to thank Borislava Vasileva for the help and patience while they were busy with producing these hits Artwork by Angel Draganov

Virtually J became a kind of local pioneer and an inspiration for a whole generation, being the first to explore ways to compose and produce electronic music programmed, edited, played on a PC. He's been important part of the scene since then, contributing, for example, to the essential VA series "Kokaku" on Jisatsuken. We were really excited to release on Mahorka his latest album "Autocracy Mage" in February 2021. In the vein of the never skipped tradition of preparing and releasing a really special collaborative Mahorka album for Netlabel Day each year (e.g. Fire to the Stars, Captive Portal, krāllār, Teeth of Divine, Tomoroh Hidari, Electrohollyc & MO. reworks albums, the "Music for Elevators vol. 5" VA compilation and a 4T Thieves remixes album), we are more than happy to announce 2023's release "Virtually J - Reworks", including new versions of tracks off "Autocracy Mage" (from Toxic Derwish, LR Friberg, Hypnos, Captive Portal, SpaceCherry, 4T Thieves, Asshole Galaxy (Abdicant and Weldroid), Brainquake, Obhod, Fluffy Inside (a.k.a. Pandacetamol), Mas&Delayer, and Julian Kalchev himself in the Autocracy Mage Remix of "Nazka") and one unreleased original track and an un released Autonomaton remix.

While “Warm Like Iron Claws”, which takes up side A on the tape, is just slightly remastered, its counterpart "Crystal Throats Are Singing" features two previously unreleased tracks from the 2020 recording sessions. Simitchiev dig deep in the vaults where Water Temple and Where Guilt Sleeps were waiting to be finished and included in this special edition, alongside a reimagining of Cloud Control. With the original version of the track also available as a digital-only bonus, the 2020-2022 chapter of Dayin’s cryptic aural existence is now finally put to a close. “In the static of burning shores, we find sleep The surface is singing like water in burrows” Recorded and produced by Angel Simitchiev Originally self-released digitally in 2020 & 2022 Tracks B4 & B6 are previously unreleased Artwork by Alexandru Daș

Since 2020 in all his solo and collaborative works he appears under the artist name Sven Phalanx. "Inner Demon", an intimate compilation of 15 very personal songs was the Sven Phalanx full-length debut on Mahorka in the following 2021. In 2022 we released the follow-up "Phönix" that includes notable collaborations with Hermann Kopp and Miss Kitty and presents a wide range of soundscapes with solid dark ambient base, intermingled with industrial vibes, hauntingly catchy melodies and sometimes even danceable beats, comprising what is undoubtedly his deepest and most mature work to that date. "S.P.Q.R", an abbreviation that has been used both for Sven's studio and label-like entity containing all his works, is also the name of Sven Phalanx's third full-length album on Mahorka where, once again, the complete and further evolved spectrum of Sven's musical diversity is summarized in 14 brilliant tracks, more than half of which have been co-authored with dear collaborators Anatoly Tokee Grinberg, Mikrometrik, Ultra, Vallée des Larmes, Shaita, Miss Kitty, CMO-Projekt, Nouvelles Lectures Cosmopolites and Cydonia.

Inspired by images of Sinan's domes and minarets, horizons of sunflowers, secluded monasteries, the Aegean sea, and endless chai. Upon returning these freshly sown memories were sparked into music by specific events, conversations, and recollections in the fall that followed. Since that time the story has been added to by an international cast of producers, whose diverse approaches reimagine and reconstruct the tale into successive chapters of melodics and ambience.

Christophe Bailleau - Katpur (with Paradise Now) (2:55) released September 30, 2023 "Vertical Moon Phase Charm", Christophe Bailleau's debut on Mahorka, is the second album out of his meta-vision of electronic and electro-acoustic music trilogy on the theme of creativity in the face of autistic disorders, following the excellent inauguration "CHUVA ORBITAL : Armadillo Time" on Lotophagus Records. Here the artist again asserts his unique craftsmanship in balancing and naturally blending low-fi and high-tech sounds, acoustic sources and digital synthesis in another powerful, immersive work. "Vertical Moon Phase Charm" notably includes quite the strong and special list of collaborators: A Limb, Stanley Christiaensen, Konejo, Innocent But Guilty and Paradise Now. "Supradyne" (tracks 3 and 4) exists in a rather different version (and as one-part track) on "Optionnal essentials, vol V" on 3 To The 3rd Music. Track 5 is based on "Konejo - The Rotten Cycle of Life and Decay (Christophe Bailleau Remix)" released on "The Moodygoer Remixes Part I" on Mahorka. Track 6 is a different version of the track "Spaceform (free)" in collaboration with Innocent But Guilty for the 413 project on Foolish Records. "A monument of fluctuating abstraction, Vertical Moon Phase Charm has no known safety measures or possible precautionary principles. A multi-dimensional mutant emulsion, we navigate in turbulent waters, no need to look for a secure anchor. Conceptual chimera, beautifully produced, each track ... proceeds through systemic enchantment, it quickly becomes unnecessary to resist - a variant geometry." -- from Thierry Massard's review on nocoVision Christophe Bailleau: composition, programming, production, synthesizers, guitar, piano A Limb: synthesizers, noises on tracks 1 and 8.

Sevensy - Failing Light (4:18) 15. Sevensy - Agreement (5:25) released November 2, 2023 sevensy (aka Austin Brooks) creates music that directly facilitates imaginal sojourns, wherein the message is the sound itself. sevensy mixes electronic and natural sounds with processed guitars and acoustic instruments and has released his music with Mahorka from the time of the label's inception. His musical themes ‘unfold into an unusual landscape’ so that it is often impossible to tell where one ends and another begins. "Form emerges, as fragile as a snowdrop’s blossom, as solid as a mountain, then recedes and is transformed. Awareness witnesses the interplay of all things. "Reckoning (creation)" aims to musically depict this metamorphosis. Acoustic or treated electric guitar forms the basis of every piece, though this may not be evident upon first listening. Layers of synthesisers and bass are interwoven with fragments of melodies that coalesce and dissolve." Cover artwork: Jan Brooks

Philippe Blache - Le Soleil Maudira La Cruauté Des Dieux (4:00) With a sense of musical introspection, incantatory melodicism and cinematic dread Philippe Blache (from Day Before Us) goes back on the forefront with a highly thrilling melancholic drama for sonic driftscapes and devastating walls of power electronics tempered by organic ethereal vibes. Detached and evanescent melodies are battling against the obscured, unsettling, stormy and weary industrial atmosphere. Powerful internal narrations and incantatory voices at distance occasionally come into the mix. With its performative bitter anthems, its ritualistic then almost religious nature, the album invites the listener to be progressively mersed in a netwok of allusive images, investing pagan mythologies, poetical escapism and christian symbology. This is the second musical offspring signed under his own name after a prolific production under the moniker of "Day Before Us", veteran project in sorrowful dark wave neoclassicism. «Across the silence and the shade» is an essential and mournful post-ambient journey which involves an emotional catharsis. released November 17, 2023 Written, recorded and produced by Philippe Blache Mastered by Giuseppe Verticchio Graphic design and artwork by Joan Llopis Doménech Thanks to Ivo Petrov, Giuseppe Verticchio, Joan Llopis Doménech, Darina Levandosska (for the narratives on tracks 1 & 2) and Pauline Poirel (for the vocal section on track 8).

And happen it did, ending up not just featuring Sai's guitars on some tracks but being a full-on co-authored and co-produced, an album of both of them. "To stare blankly in these empty spaces" is a proof of the ability of music to traverse geographical and genre boundaries. "In empty spaces when staring at nothing, with narrowed eyes, there is sound and blurred vision." Marc and Yasen have not only bridged the physical distance that separates them but have also combined their artistic visions in a unique synergy that resonates deeply with the human experience. It's an invitation to explore emotions, thoughts, and dreams that lie hidden within the quiet spaces of existence. It beckons you to engage with its beauty, one track at a time, and to discover the profound landscapes that can be painted in the emptiness between the dynamism and emotional intensity, a contemplative backdrop that allows you to explore the emotional spectrum within those empty spaces...

(bewitching silence, swallow me whole!) is an album dedicated to the need of nothingness and the passage of time. as anxiety saturates our everyday life we find ourselves struggling to find space. this album provided me with the space i needed and i hope it will do the same for you." sbogom1000.bandcamp.com released December 3, 2023 music / recording / mix / master: bozhidar savov art work / cover: yoanna laskova NOTE: cassettes will be ready and shipping around the end of December 2023

Wave Resistance + ||.|| - Collapse of Empire (9:49) released December 20, 2023 "In some cases, during jam sessions, it is possible to reach a certain interesting state, during which intriguing compositions are born, which often do not require further post-processing. Such a unique creative phenomenon of musician collaboration resembles the pairing of electrons into Cooper pairs in a superconductor. The classical theory of superconductivity states that, below a specific critical temperature, electrons in a metal pair up to create bosons called Cooper pairs. These bosons form a phase-coherent condensate that can flow through a material without scattering – the result being superconductivity. "Cooper Pairs vol.1" consists of three compositions: the first was recorded with Room V during numerous sessions in the pre-pandemic years in Moscow and its suburbs, the second was realized in collaboration with Fukte in 2019 in Crespano del Grappa after performing at "Noises From The Basement" in Belluno in the Dolomites, northern Italy, and the third recording was born as a result of a jam session with II:II during my last visit to St. Petersburg after performing at Sound Museum in January 2022, before leaving for Australia. All tracks combine a unique blend of genres. "Machine" is experimental techno and IDM, resulting from the combination of the sounds of analog modular and digital synthesizers. "Breakdown" is a mixture of noise from DIY electroacoustic instruments with experimental electronics, while "Collapse of Empire" is rhythmic noise and dark ambient with processed electric guitar." --Theo Kovalev a.k.a. Wave Resistance Wave Resistance is a project of Theo Kovalev (also releasing as Waldgrenze), an experimental electronic sound laboratory circa 2013 based under Moscow and currently in Australia. The project is focused on IDM, post-industrial, techno, rhythmic noise, dark ambient and experimental electronic genres. A philosophical journey to the reverse side of our world and consciousness through the language of the technogenic music. Room V, the project of Vadim Rumyantsev, formerly releasing under his name, represents a significant evolution in his stylistic exploration. While once confined to the exclusive realms of drone-ambient, Room V now ventures into uncharted musical territories. This evolution is marked by the seamless integration of dynamic rhythms and broader melodic lines, moving beyond the initial ambient confines. The project skilfully blends soundscapes influenced by Rumyantsev's experiences in south-east Asia with emotive moods inherited from other corners of the world. In essence, Room V has transformed into a multi-dimensional sonic journey, capturing the artist's willingness to experiment and explore beyond previous constraints. Currently based in Cambodia. Fukte is the main project of Fabrizio De Bon, out of Italy, who is also the head of the Toxic Industries label. The sound of the project is mostly Harsh Noise with HNW and industrial influences. II.II is experimental electronic music project from Moscow, Russia, created in 2018 by Vorobiev Andrey, also known with the projects: ἐγρήγορος, Echo Сoma, p3o, Mesosphere, The Crawling Chaos, Ил, Cдоба, Magnetic TarTrap. The project name can be read as "11:11". The music is performed on the analog modular synthesizer. It's atmospheric and cinematographic, it slowly crawls into the frame like a black cloud of giant sprout and rolling everything around the not transparent darkness. Distant industrial bits and smooth bewitching drone, all as you love. Rumours are that his musical developments he leads secretly, in abandoned old factories, conducts mass on radioactive graves in Russian forests and he suits underground festivals in deep forests. Currently based in India.

Jon Shuemaker - Telepathic Communications (8:24) 24Bit released December 26, 2023 Based out of Virginia Beach, USA, Jon Shuemaker is a prolific multi-instrumentalist songwriter/composer. We are excited to present his debut release on Mahorka "Point of Percival". "The top chart on the cover with the N,NE,NW,E,W,S,SE,SW "compass" is a representation of the human ears perception in terms of auditory directional charting. The center being the "Point of Percival". The directions represent directional hearing from the center or human mind as the center of perception. The bottom chart is based off the model for Möbius function . It was used during Summer 2023 to chart bird chirp cadences and songs. The chart pulled from both negative and positive vocal inflections from the birds sampled for analysis. Within this charting I was creating a model for recurring patterns within speech cadences within the bird songs. Finding that there were unpredictable cadences and as well there was some that seemed to be easier to anticipate. I called this system of the predictable aspect "Telepathic Communications". I wrote these two pieces to incorporate different perception based responses in coordination with synchronicity timing of said events."

"The album's concept gravitates around the deep and actual contraposition given by the human strive for exploration: on one hand there is the total deafness towards the heartbeat of planet Earth, from a vibrational perspective expressed by the Schuman frequency, a sub bass frequency that can be resumed as the intimate physical expression of how our ecosystem relates in its environment. On the other hand, the exploration's focus is monopolised by the infinite horizon that the eyes define. The Sputnik satellite becomes the first extraterrestrial exploration means, kept in contact with signals emitted at 40Hz. On these two main frequency inputs, the first as carrier for cross-modulation treatment and the second as a BPM driver, we explored a possible scenario of sonic interactions, ending with what we see as the soundtrack of our personal existence in this 4 dimensional world." released January 14, 2024 Recorded by Marco Mazzucchelli and David Gutman Produced and Mixed by David Gutman Mastered by Anacleto Vitolo Artwork by Marco Mazzucchelli

Andreas Rönnquist - The Mysterious Figure Turned Out To Be A Parasol (38:52) released February 11, 2024 Andreas Rönnquist was born in the small city Finspång, Östergötland, Sweden, and is now based just outside Halmstad on the Swedish west coast. Being a fan of dark ambient, drone, industrial and experimental music since the mid to late nineties, it has taken until the 20ies until he has started making music himself - taking inspiration from the stuff he listened to in the 90ies and also what he has discovered lately, he tries to create hypnotic atmospheres for the listener to sink into using heavily processed guitars, found sounds and field recordings. Andreas Rönnquist has released music on Do You Dream of Noise? (Sweden), Gates of Hypnos (Poland), and is featured on the "New State of Flux" double-CD compilation on Reverse Alignment (Italy). His debut on Mahorka, titled "The Mysterious Figure Turned Out to be a Parasol" presents yet another step in his own path of exploration of unknown ruinous realms and deeply sunken eerie sounds.

Vanishing Corridor - No More Visibility Even In The Morning (4:51) released February 18, 2024 Vanishing Corridor is the synthesis of American sound experimenters Kingo Sleemer (Western Maryland) and Chris Campbell (St. Paul, Minnesota). Campbell has been recording dark ambient/sound collage/field-recorded soundscapes as The Creeping Man since 2017, both as self-releases and on various labels (Hrea'm Recordings, Mono Time, Dub Cthonic, Veinte 33, Preston Capes Tapes, Wormhole World, and Shady Ridge Records), most recently finding inspiration via collaborations with like-minded artists. Kingo has been part of the experimental music collective Halaka since the late 90s, with whom he's recorded and released many albums in many formats; he has recently recorded and released music as Allele Cog Experiment, HOZ and Experimental College. He is also a co-founder of Pile Records. The two share an affinity for the absurd, the obtuse, and the off-kilter. Vanishing Corridor started as a back-and-forth exercise of sound sharing and manipulation, without preconceived themes or intentions. The project debuts on Mahorka with a beautiful self-titled cassette release. Artwork by Tod Trexler / Ivo Petrov.

Fading Tapes - Part I (58:04) 24Bit released February 24, 2024 Fading Tapes was formed in 2014 by Krzysztof Siwkowski (guitars and synths) and Marcin Lasek (drums and other effects) in Szczytno, Poland, mainly playing space-rock / post-rock and ambient music. Their main inspirations are independent cinema and life itself. Sátántangó (Part I), their debut album on Mahorka, is imagined and realised as an alternative soundtrack to the Béla Tarr's movie, utilizing a guitar, a 1970s radio, drums and various effects. Written and recorded by Krzysztof Siwkowski and Marcin Lasek in June, 2021.

He released his highly acclaimed debut album of masterfully crafted improvised jam sessions with no edits, "Morphing Clouds", on the Spanish label Faint in 2019. One year later he debuted on Mahorka with beautiful track on the "EASTERN DEPTHS IV" VA compilation featuring most of the active and many iconic Bulgarian electronic producers. Now we are really proud to finally present "The Second", his new album of strikingly beautiful improvised modular ambient pieces, coming as free (cc) download and a limited cassette edition. released March 1, 2024 Improvised modular recordings by Krasi Yonchev Mastered by Kliment Dichev Cover design by Aleksandar Petrov

Prism Capture - Unspeakable Tongues (13:19) released March 10, 2024 Prism Capture are Jonathan Deasy and Jonas Geiger Ohlin. A friendship that started when Jonathan took part in Music for Mental Health, a compilation to raise founds for Mind UK curated by Jonas. The two has stayed connected since. The seed that grew to be Prism Capture was planted when Jonathan let Jonas listen to his album to be Adversary. Jonas found inspiration in the work and took the liberty of reworking/remixing the two tracks into what later was released as Ally. The two was intrigued by the possibilities a collaboration could bare. The music that followed is what became Prism Capture. A project that captures Jonathan’s ambient drone work with Jonas more pop oriented soundscapes.

Occasionally rhythmic and highly processed, yet remaining evolving, immersive, and meditative to some, the Particules project started as non-formal jam sessions and later evolved into a full-scale live performance act. The most challenging task during the recording of their debut album "Escape Path" was to capture the unique and spontaneous live act synergy in the studio. All tracks are recorded live, with no editing and minimal mixing in Varna’s hot and foggy January 2024.

M.Nomized + Lezet - Friction (10:36) released April 6, 2024 Lezet is an experimental one-man music project hailing from Pozega, Serbia and releasing music since 2006. Being an avid music fan in love with many different styles, genres and approaches in music, Igor Jovanovic tries to explore and incorporate many of them into the sound of Lezet. Igor sees music as an artistic practice which should be fun and exciting for those making it, and feels fortunate enough to have many friends and fellow music makers allowing him to grow artistically by collaborating with him. After more than a decade since the previous "Meld" album was released, Igor decided to revive the series where each song in the album is made with a different collaborator. The previous volumes were the albums that Igor loved making / being part of more than any of his solo endeavours. The "Meld" series galvanised his venturing in producing music in duos and groups since. "Thanks to all the artists who collaborating with me on "Meld 8" and for making the album as brilliant as it is!"

Waldgrenze + ASG - Condensed (8:03) released April 11, 2024 Waldgrenze (meaning "border of the forest") is the project of Theo Kovalev (Wave Resistance), focused on ambient and experimental electronic music, as well as acoustic sound production experiments and field recordings, inspired by the ecological idea of friendly coexistence of two opposing sides - nature and technology. Born in joint improvisational jam sessions with other artists, the project eventually transformed and acquired its own sound character, retaining the original idea of the changes made to live recordings to preserve the feeling of "here and now", where in each composition you can hear the unique state of different places. In some cases, during jam sessions, it is possible to reach a certain interesting state, during which intriguing compositions are born, which often do not require further post-processing. Such a unique creative phenomenon of musician collaboration resembles the pairing of electrons into Cooper pairs in a superconductor. The classical theory of superconductivity states that, below a specific critical temperature, electrons in a metal pair up to create bosons called Cooper pairs. These bosons form a phase-coherent condensate that can flow through a material without scattering – the result being superconductivity. The three sessions comprising "Cooper Pairs vol.2" were captured during collaborative jam sessions in the project's homeland over several years prior to relocating to Australia. The first piece stands as a classic example of Theo Kovalev's drone ambient collages, enriched by the interplay between Ilya Suzdaltsev's acoustic improvisations and Nikita Vasilyenko's experimental electronic elements. The second composition merges rhythmic passages with ethereal ambient textures, crafted in collaboration with Vadim Rumyantsev (Room V), originally christened as Cooper Pairs, thus inspiring the title for Theo Kovalev's series of joint recordings with various artists. Bringing the album to a close is a track blending trip-hop elements with guitar ambient, recorded during a unique jam session with Oleg Zherdev, a multi-instrumentalist also known for his work with The Awakening Stones Garden (ASG) project.

Frans de Waard summed it up quite well in his notes on the first 'AUTO' installment, saying "It is a bit of everything; one can hear the influence of techno music, industrial music, minimalism, and cosmic synthesizers […] and while they are finished as compositions, I don't think these pieces are to be understood as pop songs", adding that the vibe is more about stimulating the mind than moving the feet. This collection brings together a different set of pieces into the self-contained system that is 'AUTO', weaving them together into a new whole possessed by the same spirit, where unusual sounds are rejuvenated, recycled and transmuted into a resonant landscape that feels like it has a life of its own." --MMercury Sound & illustration: Gili Mocanu Assemblage: Miru Mercury Cover Design: Ivo Petrov

Sims) and a recurring nightmare. released June 17, 2024 Commissioned by Sanneke Kleingeld, one of Radio Tempo Não Pàra's curators, for their 'ik houd het nest warm' radio program that aired on the 15th of December 2023. TNP's curator Kleingeld had heard an episode of Sounds Between Here and Nowhere (a radioshow by Luca Heydt and Mees Joachim) on Big Toilet Radio and proceeded to discover the artist's Paradise Mixes made for the 2023 Birds of Paradise exhibition - which featured many unreleased tracks made under Mees Joachim's Joachim Stiller, Absolute Candor and Zalmroze monikers - and proceeded to commission the artist to create a special mix for the radio station. The sound work began to live a life on its own - becoming a sound collage of self-sampled unreleased works and new recordings centered around, but not limited to, synthesized sound. As a fairly ambient / new age sound was warranted for the occasion, Mees Joachim took on their Joachim Stiller moniker to create two entirely original 1 hour sound works, with 'Radiophonic Sound bath #2' being the selected piece to be aired on Radio TNP. The Stiller moniker has been around for a while, albeit used for art / karaoke performances, installations and video works prior to 2023, when it was first used for a music release: 'And The Overstaying of Welcomes' in collaboration with Absolute Candor. Joachim Stiller's debut album, 'In Shallow Water', was released by Bad Boy Jesus Tape Club in April 2024. With these two sound works, released on Mahorka in May 2024, expanding the sound of Joachim Stiller even further. Credits: Performed, Produced, Recorded, Mixed, Mastered, etc. by Mees Joachim as Joachim Stiller in 2023, with some recordings dating back to 2021.

Orghanon - Nous (4:42) released August 22, 2024 Orghanon is the solo venture of Sergio Calzoni, producer and musician active since the nineties in various musical outfits (Act Noir, Colloquio, ILUITEQ). His 2015 debut "Figures In Slow Motion" (Eibon Records) seamlessly fused trip-hop sonorities with jazz, ambient and glitch elements. It was followed by soundtrack for the theatre performance "F_rankenstein" (2016), the sophomore "Retrospectre" on the cult-boutique Time Released Sound and, after a little hiatus, "Droneworks I-V" (2022) on the Italian label St.An.Da. While 2023 and early 2024 saw some spectacular output of ILUITEQ (Sergio Calzoni & Andrea Bellucci), August 2024 sees the return of Orghanon with a debut on Mahorka, "Future in Motion", an album which reconnects with the multifaceted sound that distinguished the first album of Orghanon, but in which the concept of motion becomes more dynamic and accelerated, compared to the static nature and slow movements of "Figures In Slow Motion" All tracks composed and produced by Sergio Calzoni Mix and mastering by Sergio Calzoni orghanon.bandcamp.com sergiocalzoni@gmail.com Cover picture courtesy of Lukáš Krása (www.lukaskrasa.com) Design and layout by Ivo Petrov & Angel Draganov Executive production by Mahorka

Improvising with edited field recording loops, a bassline generating synth and an array of outboard effects, shows a unique and captivating style that incorporates musique concrète, improvised industrial sounds, and percussions from everyday objects. This creates unique compositions arising from a commitment to using only found sounds and field recordings that transport the listener to new and surreal environments. This approach focuses on the creative process while experimenting with different sounds and effects to create dynamic and engaging sets.

Wahn - No More Poison (5:41) released September 13, 2024 Following the spectral echoes of "Drifted Vol. 1" (on AFTER AFFECTS REC, France), Wahn returns, debuting on Mahorka, with "Drifted Vol. 2", a deeper plunge into the abyss where despair looms heavier, yet faint glimmers of hope still emerge like distant stars in an endless night. The soundscape is darker, more cinematic, with grainy textures crackling like fractured memories. Lush, slow-motion atmospheres stretch into the void, embracing the listener in a weighty melancholy, where piano keys occasionally pierce the darkness like fragile rays of light, offering fleeting moments of solace. In this second chapter, Wahn pushes deeper into the balance between hopelessness and the persistence of light. Cinematic undertones weave through the tracks, amplifying the immersive sense of narrative. The sub-bass resonates like a rumble from the earth’s core, making the body itself an instrument in this journey, grounding the ethereal melodies with a tactile, visceral presence. The ambient realms are thicker, more haunting, yet at times they break open to reveal a brief but tender embrace of warmth. Each track unfolds like a slow, mournful exhale, drawing the listener deeper into an intimate dance of sorrow and fragile hope. Join Wahn as he continues this odyssey, where textures grow darker, the light more elusive, and the journey more introspective. Drifted Vol. 2 is a cinematic exploration into the profound depths of despair, with sub-bass vibrations and fleeting moments of light that make the experience as physical as it is emotional.

Whether you deem them abstractions due to their strange harmonic contents, or figurative of strange places, is up to you. The key word here is "atmosphere". They convey no message, they were not created with any intent. In saying what they're not, we're saying they are pure imagination at play. They deal with mental images and perceptions, before language creates order - and falsehoods - out of the plasma of free association. During their making we never discussed them, bar a few technical points ; never defined them, never worded anything. We never even mentioned we were actually "doing" them, and really discovered them afterwards. Of course, we will never succeed in saying nothing. We're subjects. And the very fact we have to write something about it is the heart of the paradox. But at least we can try. We all deserve a good vacation from meaning. There are other forces at play, like sound."

He has released records for Amek Collective, DVNTT and has collaborated with musicians such as Roboknob, Kronom, Il Santo Bevitore, Bruno Gussoni. Valentin has also composed soundtrack for the miniseries Red Velvet Revolution which was awarded best original soundtrack at the Sicily Web Fest. "It has been a long and rainy winter season along the coast. Searching for inner peace and distractions from the distractions, I plant a seed of thought, I cast a spell. I spread my wings and I practise for the ascent. A billion years away our collective dreams of lush green across the planet will inevitably come true. I am there, I have let my garden overgrow regardless of the petty suburbian men and the perfectly trimmed edges of their hopelessness. What are you fighting against, my friend? No, you can't park on my driveway because the other day you almost completely blocked the side gate and I barely could get out with my bike. I think you should have known the gaping void could only be filled with kindness and patience. Of summer afternoons, of cold rivers and tired waterfalls and I should say eternal composition because what we call decay is in fact a gradual transformation and a return to eternal equilibrium. Yes, buildings and infrastructure are decaying but were they supposed to be there in the first place?"

His project "muzofob" is focusing on dark ambient, drone and neoclassical music. Sometimes it is long one-take improvisations, sometimes it is layered sound textures with binaural technologies. He debuts on Mahorka with a live set he performed in an art space named dom36 (House #36) in Almaty, surrounded by friends, the community of musicians, jammers ("the loopers"), that invited him to play his first solo concert. This concert album is one whole improvised piece, where one theme transforms into another, without any breaks, from start to end. This whole solid piece was split into the parts that became the album tracks later, while Pavel was mastering the recording for the release. Track names were also given at that moment.

Dissolved (4:53) 24Bit released October 19, 2024 Having crossed paths many times over the years via the S27 imprint, releases as Floating Spirits and Mitoma separately and remixing each others' work, Peltiform is a collaborative project directed by Nathan Story and Tam Ferrans that has released two albums via S27 - "Futurism" (2022) and "Like Phantoms" (April 2024). In October 2024 the project also debuts on Mahorka with "Numerik". The material featured on this new Peltiform EP is taken from left over track sessions from around the same time as what would become "Like Phantoms" was in the works. Although from same sessions and connected, these tracks had their own different feel and did not end up fitting in the aforementioned album. Instead, they were further refined into "Numerik", a release that serves as much as a companion piece to "Like Phantoms" and closes the arc as it is also standing out on its own. The EP also features alternate versions of previously released album tracks and collaborations with Room of Wires and Dissolved.

Since then we've had few EPs, numerous remixes, compilation appearances and 4 full-length albums by 4T Thieves, two of which on digipak CDs - the already classic "Hauntology" from 2019 and 2023's "The Shipping Forecast". In late 2024, after around a year in the works, we are really happy to release his new album "I Can Dream Of Bubbles" complemented with the whole "The happy places" album of remixes from dear artists and friends, with those two together making our first double Digipak CD release and a spectacular follow-up to "The Shipping Forecast". "In the grey and lifeless world of the future, everything is colourless but you can always dream of bubbles... different colourful scenes, landscapes away from the grey. Inspired by colourful vivid dreams of what the world could have been the happy places are the bubbles that people dream, the different worlds that could have been."

Neko - Almost Forgotten (Brainquake Remix) (10:16) 24Bit released November 22, 2024 Refreshed from a year's meditation and fuelled by a lethal combination of extra strong coffee and those lotus biscuits with the cream in the middle, Neko, the premier act to emerge from Bristol's thriving Japanese language post rock/electronica micro scene (population 1) are back with "Windfall", their second EP, following on from their highly acclaimed 2023 debut "King Louie". Like most second releases, it's a more mature collection of songs than its predecessor (fewer songs about 5 a side football, more songs about complicated IT jobs and desperate attempts to avoid middle aged spread) that sees the band, now with vocalist Yuka Suzuki as a full time member, polish and develop their distinctive sound. Teaming up again with producer Dom Mitchison, the EP's four tracks are a vibrant melting pot of styles and ideas. Yuka Suzuki's ethereal vocals are the one constant, through the dreamy "Stack Overflow" and "Kleshas" to the moody guitar lines and Donna Summer style synths of "Almost Forgotten". The slow-building title track "Windfall" brings the EP to a pounding, cathartic conclusion. The band will be undertaking a short tour towards the end of November to promote the release, with dates in Cardiff, London and hometown Bristol currently pencilled in. The "Windfall" EP is available for listening on Spotify and other music streaming services, while officially released on Shoredive Records (on CD) and Mahorka (cassette). The Mahorka Edition cassette includes a whole exclusive B side of spectacular remixes of the original EP tracks by Asshole Galaxy, Tawdry Otter, Brainquake, popon and Suzuki. P&L 2024 under exclusive license to Mahorka and Shoredive Records Written and performed by Neko, 2024 Lyrics by Yuka Suzuki Recorded and Engineered by Dominic Mitchison @ Humm Studios, 2024 Mastering of the original EP tracks (Side A) by Shawn Joseph @ Optimum Mastering, 2024 Mastering of the remixes (Side B) by Weldroid, 2024

Asshole Galaxy - Corrupt Heart (4:32) released November 30, 2024 Asshole Galaxy is a band of two angry artists really mad at all the assholes ruining the world, channelling some music through. Asshole Galaxy is: Weldroid. The 8-bit emulation of an electrical engineer, a cgi artist and a coffee connoisseur merged into one person and left alone in the middle of a forest in the middle of a forgotten peninsula built of discarded and ancient electronic devices and lots of copper wire. Those little robotic things living in the forest tend to like the noises he makes... and Jeremy Rice. Boston-area lover of synthesizers and synth music, striving to make his own electronic music with a curious sense of introspection and mystery. As Abdicant and Curious Inversions he has notable releases on Kahvi Collective and Mahorka. Also in Cognition Delay with Paul Alexander (Pandacetamol, Fluffy Inside) on Mahorka, Rednetic, Móatún 7 and in The Hive Project with Anthony Paul Kerby (The Circular Ruins) on DataObscura. "...not the last time you hear from us." --Weldroid on the band's debut album "Irreparable Damage" And right he was! A little bit more than a year later, Asshole Galaxy returns with a harrowing new album, "Collapse"! Driven by a relentless pursuit of maximizing profits, the world teeters on the brink of collapse, and Asshole Galaxy captures this slow-motion doom in an epic fast-forward sonic catastrophe. Plunge into a sonic abyss, a bleak reflection of our crumbling world, a raw and unflinching exploration of the human condition in the face of systemic failure. Be consumed. Composed and produced by Abdicant and Weldroid Cover gfx and mastering by Weldroid
