“The Cat Has Left”

“The Cat Has Left” is the actual song I was singing in my childhood after I’ve been done with “The Cat Has Cometh”. So, I borrowed the name for this album which features remixes of the most insane tracks from my previous one, first composed during live performances and then recreated.

My music is not always dark, but when it is – it is never dark.
THINK POSITIVE!!!

If you squeeze a full discography of minimal techno into 14 minutes you will get a crêpe.
EAT FRUITS!!!

Life is to be enjoyed slowly.
CALM DOWN!!!

“lunetta”

Lunetta is a modular synthesizer built using mostly digital logic chips.

All of the Lunettas are unique and different, because they allow creative and irregular ways to patch them up, since they are mainly made out of CMOS chips and allow completely different ways of modulation compared to analog electronics.

Lunettas share their specific tonal character, which is a complex pulse modulation, rich in high frequency harmonics, making them sound alike. The differences come from individual design and the chosen chips resulting in sometimes quirky or unpredictable behaviour.

Lunetta’s nametag comes from Stanley Lunetta, who was a classical and experimental musician. He is thought to be the first one to bring cheap digital logic chips to the table for making electronic instruments usually used in avant-garde music.

This album is a compilation of home, studio and live performance recordings, with a home-made Lunetta synthesizer, sound effects and feedback loops.

RAJA KIRIK – Phantasmagoria of Jathilan

RAJA KIRIK – Phantasmagoria of Jathilan
[YESNO 106]

RAJA KIRIK

“Phantasmagoria of Jathilan”

“The Phantasmagoria of Jahtilan” is a music performance by Raja Kirik in collaboration with singer Silir Wangi and performer Ari Dwianto. This project investigate the Jathilan horse dance, a folk trance dance popular in Java, Indonesia, as a way of regaining strength despite defeat. Jathilan is an acronym of “Jarane jan tjil-thilan”, which translates to a horse that dances irregularly. The current form of Jathilan developed after the Java War (fought between Javanese rebels and the colonial Dutch empire from 1825 to1830) as a folk practise to grapple with the defeat by the Dutch Empire and the devastation caused by the civil war between the Javanese population and the Javanese aristocracy who supported the Dutch. In Jathilan people use stick horses made of bamboo as a form of appreciation as well as an expression of support for rebel leader Prince Diponegoro’s horsemens who fought bravely against the Dutch colonial forces. Despite the actual defeat of the rebels, Jathilan itself always depicts an imaginary victory of the local rebel cavalry against demons, monsters, or the colonisers. This heroic performance therefore has multiple purposes: to entertain, to encourage, to heal, and to unite people against oppression.

Raja Kirik’s “The Phantasmagoria of Jathilan” is an artistic exploration of the Jathilan tradition, re-interpreting its musical, vocal, and dance forms. Syncopated electronic rhythms combine with the metallic percussion of homemade instruments that is as trance-inducing as it is bellicose. Beautifully monotonous singing in a captivating repetitive melismatic style weaves through lilting melodies that gust out of makeshift wind instruments. With frantic, seemingly endless forward propulsion, the music of Raja Kirik inhabits a wide emotional breadth, cycling from disappointment to anger to loneliness.

During the piece, the dancer embodies various heroic characters, such as Bujang Ganong, Menak Jinggo, Hanuman, or the non-fictional hero prince Diponegoro. At times the dancer also becomes a dance instructor and MC, who interacts with the audience.

Track list:
01. ACT 1. Sigra Sigra
02. ACT II. Budhal Gumuruh
03. ACT III. Perangan
04. ACT IV. Slompret Slompret
05. ACT V. Waru Doyong

Virtually J – Reworks
[mhrk359]

Virtually J

“Reworks”

Long time ago, in the relatively small Black Sea coastal city of Varna, Julian Kalchev a.k.a. 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.

One Tru Odd

“Hits For The Misplaced”

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 as free (cc) digital download and limited edition digipak CD

All music written, performed, programmed, recorded and mixed by
One Tru Odd

4T Thieves

“The Shipping Forecast”

Nik (4T Thieves) has been putting out beautiful electronic music since the early demoscene days. 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 as free (cc) digital download and special limited edition digipak CD.

Roberto Vodanović Čopor

“Lost Weekend”

“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.

MOTHER BANK – Tanggung Renteng

MOTHER BANK – Tanggung Renteng
[YESNO 105]

MOTHER BANK

“Tanggung Renteng”

Mother Bank adalah bank eskperimental berbentuk bank keliling (bank emok) di Jatiwangi-Majalengka yang diinisiasi oleh kelompok riset artistik Badan Kajian Pertanahan. Lahir sebagai bagian dari gelombang #aktivismedarurat pada masa pandemi covid 19, Bank yang didirikan sejak awal 2021 ini difungsikan sebagai ekosistem pengaman ekonomi terdekat dan termudah bagi warga Kampung Wates yang sebagian besar adalah buruh harian dan saat itu kehilangan pekerjaan. Membedakan diri dengan bank keliling pada umumnya yang mengenakan bunga cukup tinggi, bank ini dikelola secara bersama-sama dengan bunga pinjaman nol %. Secara organik, Bank ini menjadi wadah bagi Ibu-ibu di Kampung untuk belajar, berbagi, tumbuh, mencipta, bergerak, secara bersama-sama.

Salah satu aktivitas keluaran dari Mother Bank adalah sebuah kelompok musik di mana para nasabah adalah personilnya. Menggunakan musik keramik yang dikenalkan oleh Jatiwangi art Factory— yang saat ini sudah menjadi musik tradisi di Jatiwangi, kelompok musik ini menyampaikan pengalaman para nasabah sebagai perempuan yang hidup di tengah perubahan lansekap wilayah Jatiwangi menuju wilayah industri manufaktur terbesar di Pulau Jawa. Sebagai kelompok, Bank ini juga turut mengadvokasi dirinya di tengah persoalan konflik tanah yang dihadapi warga Kampung Wates dan tujuh desa lainnya dengan TNI AU, sejak Indonesia memproklamirkan kemerdekaannya.

Dengan mengusung judul dan semangat ‘Tanggung Renteng’ yang berarti ditanggung secara bersama, album ini membagikan pengalaman para perempuan sebagai nasabah bank keliling yang hidup bertahan dengan ‘gali lubang tutup lubang’, menyaksikan bagaimana lahan persawahan secara perlahan berubah menjadi pabrik-pabrik, antusiasme pemuda pemudi Jatiwangi yang berbondong-bondong menjadi buruh, ritual gajian para buruh membeli rocket chicken, upaya para perempuan memanfaatkan lahan dengan menanam, hingga proses kolaborasi anggota Mother Bank dengan para perempuan pengrajin keramik dari satu desa di Borobudur, Magelang.

Cognition Delay – Mostly Dreaming

Cognition Delay – Mostly Dreaming
[mhrk354]

Cognition Delay

“Mostly Dreaming”

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, released June 17, 2023 as free (cc) digital download and beautiful limited digipak CD edition with outstanding artwork by Jeremy Rice.

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.

Rani Jambak & Yenting Hsu – 《O​-​ksi​氣​-​2》
[YESNO 104]

Rani Jambak & Yenting Hsu

“《O​-​ksi​氣​-​2》”

OXYGEN

It’s a sound journey about city and nature, artificial and natural environment.

By an interesting coincidence, Yenting Hsu and Rani Jambak both had same experience by living in Australia several years ago. Being far away from their own land made them more aware of their own culture or environment. That was their big inspiration to start their own project about environment “Waterland” and #formynature. By then, Rani and Yenting keep following their interest and exploring their own culture and environment through sound.

Although both grew up in the city, but they are fascinated by their own natural scape. Yenting lives in Taiwan, with the sea surrounded. Rani lives in Medan, close to the rain forest – Leuser Ecosystem. Two different nature scene make them connect through OXYGEN where rain forest and ocean are the most important to produce oxygen.

All tracks are composed by 2 different soundscapes of city and nature from Taiwan and Medan, North Sumatra. Experimenting many style of composition, Rani and Yenting collaborate in different type of production by sharing their sound collections and mixing each sound back and forth. They try to meditate on how human and nature coexist and question the possibility of harmony.

This album is the final result of an online residency project “∀ Flλ ≡nters. ∥mmense βreath of ⊥he ∫ea：ℝesidency” organized by Open Contemporary Art Center in 2021-2022.
