The creation of this special compilation has been a labor of love that unfolded over the course of more than two years. This project, spearheaded by Ivo Petrov of Mahorka and Niki Stanchev (Autonomaton, EcoSCi records), and sequenced by Origin_Blueprint (www.aurora-compilations.org), stands as a testament to the power of collaboration. Each track featured in the compilation carries the essence of the individual whose influence transcends boundaries of genre and time. While many of the contributors are long-standing Mahorka artists, collaborators, and cherished friends, a few new names have also been brought on board by Ivo, Niki, and Origin_Blueprint to complement the perspectives and complete the journey.

The spirit of unity and shared passion for music that permeates this compilation is a true testament to the dedication and commitment of all those involved in its creation. The seamless blend of established artists and emerging talents showcases the evolving landscape of electronic music, while also paying homage to the enduring bonds of friendship and collaboration that have shaped the Mahorka community. As listeners embark on a sonic journey through this carefully crafted compilation, they will be enveloped in a tapestry of sounds that not only entertain but also inspire, a reflection of the collective creativity and vision that defines the Mahorka ethos.

Joachim Stiller – Music For Wireless Telegraphs

Joachim Stiller – Music For Wireless Telegraphs
[mhrk398]

Joachim Stiller

“Music For Wireless Telegraphs”

Two one hour sound works inspired by and based on, and I quote: “the ominous feeling of winter, dark clouds, the fear of getting lost – and nesting somewhere that feels safe”.

Influences include the soundtracks of Petscop and Nier: Automata, Autechre, 7038634357, COIL, ‘Tomorrow, In A Year’ (The Knife, PlanningToRock, Mt. Sims) and a recurring nightmare.

Released on Mahorka June 17, 2024 as free (cc) digital download and limited double cassette edition.

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.

Featuring several synthesizers, sequencers, guitar, harp, trumpet and a Nintendo DS.

Y-DRA – HOREG

Y-DRA – HOREG
[YES NO 111]

Y-DRA

“HOREG”

Horeg is a Javanese term to refer to the sound vibration, in certain cases, it can break window glass or knock off the rooftop. The term was popularized by the speaker competitions in East Java, Indonesia. They travel from village to village in a convoy of trucks while playing very loud electronic music tracks. Horeg is a festival of sound by the grass root people, to occupy public space and amplify their voices that are mostly unheard.

The grass roots are often expunged from society and deprived of all rights as citizens. They are sacrificed for the interests of the ruling class, from political interests to control of natural resources. Nowadays, the class differences are becoming clear, for example in the hierarchy of death which determines who can be sacrificed for the benefit of the higher class. Homo sacer* among us; millions of lives were taken, land seized as if it were normal. The ruling class supremacy is constantly maintained above the others’ suffering.

Horeg is a celebration of sound, sound of rage. Horeg is a homo sacer, who puts up a small resistance in a party. Although by no means anything, it continued to become louder, while planting the seeds of resistance.

The music on this album started from the ideas of grassroots communities party/celebration in Indonesia. From Dangdut, Jathilan, Sumatra’s Orgen Tunggal to Margondang’s funeral party. The music is then placed at another alternate time, in a series of furious noise compositions.

*Homo sacer is defined in legal terms as someone who can be killed without the killer being regarded as a murderer; and a person who cannot be sacrificed.

[mhrk394]

Somnoroase Păsărele

“AUTO[2]”

Released May 5, 2024 as free (cc) digital download and limited cassette edition.

“From the get-go, it’s been pretty obvious that there is no set formula or path to Gili Mocanu’s Somnoroase Păsărele project, with no strict rules that would block off one approach or another – just a commitment to working in the moment and staying open to whatever signals are there to be channeled. 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

“At The Foot Of The Ladder”

SPTW (Some Pretend to Whisper) is the crossroad where sound collagists Perkin Warbek and Stakha meet.

“Delicately mistreated samples, warped instrumentations, repeated loops, liquefied vocals, scraps of arrangements here and there, abstract swarming, analog tape textures and a few minimalist beats cleverly distilled from hip-hop influences… these are some of the ingredients used by Some Pretend to Whisper to shape its strange daydreams”

“At the Foot of the Ladder” is their debut on Mahorka, released April 15, 2024 as free (cc) digital download and in limited cassette edition.

Waldgrenze – Cooper Pairs vol.2

Waldgrenze – Cooper Pairs vol.2
[mhrk391]

Waldgrenze

“Cooper Pairs vol.2”

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.

[YESNO 110]

rEmPiT g0dDe$$

“PRIME ENERGY”

“I dreamt of an instrument obedient to my thoughts, bending & shaping the fabric of reality itself.”

rEmPiT g0dDe$$ adeptly synthesises the traditional tunings of Southeast Asian instruments such as Malaysia’s Serunai, Rebab, and The Philippines’ Kulintang into the dynamic fabric of mutated-club music within the domain of textural industrial soundscapes, characterised by propulsive rhythms echoing the spirit of rave, merging the timelines between traditional practices, grassroots EDM, and post-club rhythms.

Part of Southeast Asia’s electronic music scene, Victoria Yam moves between worlds as easily as she slips between her two experimental music projects, Viktoria and rEmPiT g0dDe$$.

Spending her time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore the producer and DJ boldly ventures into the farthest, darkest recesses of industrial club, whipping up missives from the underground – playing across Asia and Europe such as Boiler Room for Maho Rasop festival in Bangkok, Naarm’s Speed at Final in Taipei, the Alex Blake Charlie Sessions Festival in Singapore, Pestapora festival in Jakarta, Orbitware in Bali, Nhạc Gãy in Saigon, and King’s Place for the Oram Awards in London where she performs as Viktoria, her singer-songwriter alias.

Lezet – Meld 8

Lezet – Meld 8
[mhrk390]

Lezet

“Meld 8”

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!”

Collaborators featured on “Meld 8”:

RDKPL – “Czech noisound maker. Aural manipulations within the borders of power noise, experimental electronica, downtempo glitch to electroacoustic industrial.” RDKPL.bandcamp.com

Wilfried Hanrath – “I am 66 years old and a happy father and grandfather. I learned classical guitar, and taught myself bass, drums and percussion, and keyboards, synthesizers. And, like I like listening to different styles and genres in music, I play different genres and styles. Solo works are one branch in my activities; more fulfilling – be it in live situations or in the studio, is to come together with others in collaborations.” wilfriedhanrath.bandcamp.com

Kleshas – Christopher B. Arnett’s recent moniker exploring melodic experimental and classical music even further than the music he released under his own name.

Dj Odraz – Ken Willbond started the project after a decade and a half of making music as Protecious. The music is influenced by metal, hip-hop, funk, horror movie soundtracks and many other styles and genres. facebook.com/Protecious

Filmy Ghost – a Dark Ambient, Experimental, Witch House, Ghostly Computer Music project created by S bila Orbe from Rancagua, Chile. Founder of Cian Orbe & Witch Spectra non-profit netlabels. filmyghost-humanfobia-doppelganger.bandcamp.com

Humanfobia – A Witch House / VaporGoth / Horror Synth / Experimental duo from Rancagua, Chile formed in 2011. Mist Spectra – lead female vocals; S bila Orbe – sound mixer and male vocals. humanfobia-official.bandcamp.com

Dolores Mondo Stash – a sound experimentation project based in Bucharest, Romania. The music revolves around genres such as experimental, industrial, electronic, ambiental and post-punk. doloresmondostash.bandcamp.com

Edo Žudjelovic – a visual artist, drawer, painter and electronic/noise musician, occasionally exploring electronic music. He lives and works in Bar, Montenegro. Studied Visual Communication Design at the Faculty of Visual Arts in Podgorica, currently a graduate student at the faculty. He participated in the Short video form screening, alternative film video festival in Podgorica, Montenegro. Has published several noise and experimental music albums. harshrealitymusic.bandcamp.com/album/starch harshrealitymusic.bandcamp.com/album/rosette

M.Nomized – a recording artist, mail artist, author, collagist and painter who was born Mandrange Michel in Paris in 1956. He started his work in 1975 with contemporary music and sound research. In the subsequent 31 years he has appeared on more than 200 solo, collaboration and compilation cd and tape releases – on his own Fraction Studio label and on numerous European, Japanese and American labels. M.Nomized has recorded and created music in many different styles, including experimental, electronic, minimalist and repetitive musics, industrial, Indian music, “out”, Algerian, noise, cyclic and looped-based music, children’s theatre, ambient, piano and spoken word. He was an important figure in the homemade music scene of the 1980s and 1990s, and is well-known for his recordings as a member of No Authorized. M.Nomized has collaborated with De Fabriek, Don Campau, Mr. Moto, Carsten Olbrich, Mark Sonnenfeld, The Legendary Poptones, Daniele Brusaschetto, Bidoche Musique, Kora, Messy, Mlehst and many others. mnomized.bandcamp.com/album/m-nomized-music-for-treated-violins-and-loops-variations-2022 mnomized.bandcamp.com/album/m-nomized-in-the-morning-mist-2023

BRUTO

“Atun de Prusia”

Bruto
Una perspectiva inestable de las cosas que no se tocan entre sí.
Proyecto sonoro de amabilidad variable, desarrollado bajo las consignas confusas de Ives Romero y Toia Pablo.
Tokio. Ruta provincial Nº 3 y Camino Rural s/n. Córdoba.

Acerca de Atún de Prusia
“- Este nuevo trabajo de Bruto nos da la oportunidad de repetir la experiencia. Se presiona play sólo por la curiosidad a la que nos somete nuestro lado más oscuro. De otra forma no se explica. Nos encontramos esta vez con las promesas de una “sustraxion” surrealista, mezcladas de manera poco sensata con el sindicalismo peronista de la primera hora. A modo de dato de color observo que me fue preciso un lavado de manos recurrente, durante el poco más de un cuarto de hora que dura el disco.”

Particules

“Escape Path”

Particules is a collaborative music project between Victor Prodanov (xDEx) and Tsvetan Momchilov (Chillov).

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.

6P3S – space techno

6P3S – space techno
[EEM070]

6P3S

“space techno”

A compilation from the days, when the soldering iron would be left on at night. Noises of the past coming through crackling cables, originating from self-oscillating handmade devices. And a long-forgotten vacuum triode – 6P3S.

Music was not what got the party started – amplifiers did. They were the very first devices I’ve made and one of those utilized that particular triode. Then came a vacuum tube multivibrator oscillator. Once I heard a sound originate from a couple of parts connected by wires, I got inspired to go further.

The next device is still being used today – a ten-step analog sequencer. It gave rise to techno beats in my music, which heard throughout the album, transformed those abstract modular noises into a space, to be filled with movement.

Let’s go.

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.
