Edward Reardon, Herbert Lacina & Karlheinz Essl – m!ndf*kc

Edward Reardon, Herbert Lacina & Karlheinz Essl

“m!ndf*kc”

The music of m!ndf*kc starts from the embrace of a quiet disturbance.

The name, which was chosen not without awareness of the threat of vulgarity, is meant with honesty and, in a sense, generosity. Apparently, the term has been accepted in the psychological community to mean an extremely confusing or disturbing experience. Here, it is an offer to explore that state and come to accept it and enjoy it. The listener is a silent participant welcomed to re-examine what is considered pleasurable, what is fun, and what constitutes balance and structure.

Piano, bass, and electronics co-mix here to create a calm discourse that examines more than it asks or tries to answer. Those expecting to be jarred or unsettled may find the peaceful serendipity of M!ndf*kc disconcerting. Clear lines and pure sounds turn and twist as though obstructions do not exist. The development from climax to anti-climax, from stasis to passage, seems like the inevitable result of either careful planning or sheer faith in probability. After attentively navigating, without judgment, the connections along the way, finding sense and meaning in the upset of stability is where the music finishes. (Edward Reardon)

Roberto Vodanović Čopor – What Happens When We Become Silent

[mhrk446]

Roberto Vodanović Čopor

“What Happens When We Become Silent”

Released June 6, 2025 as free (cc) digital download and limited cassette edition.

Roberto Vodanović Čopor is a multimedial artist from Zadar, Croatia. He has released on various independent labels, including Asonu., Green Field Recordings, Sonospace, Nowaki, Camembert Électrique, Warm Milk Recordings, The Church Of Noisy Goat, Mahorka… In his music he often combines the sounds of nature or the sounds of cities, and as background he uses sounds created from everyday objects.

“What happens when we become silent” is an experimental dark ambient music project that explores the multifaceted nature of silence. The album opens with evocative field recordings of birdsong at dawn and raindrops tapping gently against a window – fragile sounds that draw the listener into a contemplative space.

Through immersive textures and shadowy sonic landscapes, the project delves into our complex relationship with silence. It asks: what does silence reveal, and what does it conceal? Is it a refuge – a trusted companion in a noisy world – or a haunting presence that unsettles the soul?

Blurring the boundaries between the natural and the abstract, “What happens when we become silent” invites the listener to sit with stillness, to confront it, and to find meaning within its depths.

Produced by Roberto Vodanović Čopor in 2024-2025

MAHAMBORO – 7 Jazz Pop Greats

[YESNO 116]

MAHAMBORO

“7 Jazz Pop Greats”

“Mahamboro menulis dan merekam album ini sebagai respon terhadap komodifikasi musik menjadi pola-pola populis yang mudah dikenali dan dicerna. Lewat sudut pandang tersebut, projek ini menjadi kritik terhadap absuritas dalam menilai dan atau mengukur suatu gaya musik; bagaimana musik eksperimental ataupun jazz melampaui pelabelan karya seni yang dijual di pasar tertentu, pada waktu tertentu, panggung tertentu dan ketentuan tertentu. Judul album ini mengadopsi judul album ketiga dari Throbbing Gristle.”

Multi-instrumentalis yang juga berperan sebagai individu penting di kalangan musik eksperimental, Mahamboro menunjukkan taring tajamnya di album “7 Jazz Pop Greats”. Dari judulnya sudah membuat mata tertegun, diikuti oleh judul lagu yang membuat penggiat musik Jazz seperti saya sedikit terkikik. Di semua track, Mahamboro tetap menunjukkan dentuman dan tekstur yang khas, bunyi gemuruh ala dia ditambah sentuhan manis Saxophone khas Joe Lovano di album Nocturno-nya Charlie Haden.

Saya menyebutnya sebagai pribadi paling berbakat yang pernah saya temui. Tidak hanya talenta, Mahamboro mempunyai kepekaan yang luar biasa terhadap segala seuatu yang ditekuninya. Biarpun kadang saya gemas karena kurangnya fokus di bertahun-tahun masa karirnya, tapi semua orang selalu menganggumi beliau dari jauh. Tidak hanya sebagai seniman suara, namun kontribusi dia di lingkungan musik sekitarnya.

Entah ini intrepretasi trek-trek musik hits Jazz dunia, atau sekedar plesetan, atau mungkin juga cemooh terhadap genre tersebut. Apapun itu, saya paham bahwa ada kelas yang seharusnya dilenyapkan di genre musik di Indonesia. Tidak merasa lebih hanya karna nada/hitungan lebih rumit, tidak memicingkan mata hanya karna bunyinya berbeda, dan menghakimi padahal tidak mengerti.

Dibuka dengan Track manis dibalut oleh kekacauan. Diikuti Track 2 yang menunjukkan benang merah album ini yang terlalu cepat diurai dan ditutup dengan bunyi saturatif yang menarik. Track 3 digempur dengan dentuman keras semi rapat dan Saxophone serupa rapalan musik Rap. Pertengahan Track 4 dikejutkan oleh Altissimo dari Saxophone. Lalu ada bunyi distraktif di Track 5 seperti detik jam dan diakhiri helaan nafas serupa kabut. Track 6 diawali dengan bunyi strobo dan airy saxophone lalu disambut ketukan drum ala Nate Smith, membuat Track ini terdengar seperti musik ritual dibanding musik dansa. Track 7, Nada-nada Arpeggio dibalut dengan efek suara ditemani bunyi angkasa ala Ryoji Ikeda, membuat Track penutup ini menciptakan visual berbayang.

Tidak hanya panggung dengan tata suara megah, ini adalah album yang seharusnya menemani para pencinta kopi di interior brutalist alih-alih bossa nova yang kian tidak selaras dengan situasi negara yang carut marut.

WAYVES – BOT

[mhrk444]

WAYVES

“BOT”

released May 24, 2025

Raw, fleeting, disfigured — breaking through the cracks like weeds through concrete.
A rebellion against the self. Against the urge to please, to polish, to resolve.
A controlled fall. A dance between chaos and pattern.

Meant to disorient. To move. To interrupt.

A celebration of not pretending.

This work leans toward a non-dual listening — where no line separates beauty from abrasion, nor pitch from noise. There’s no subject, no object. Only the sound of falling water near a stone. A hum that could be harmony, or just friction made gentle by time.

It draws from Dada not in style but in gesture — refusing meaning as fixed, embracing disruption as form. Like Zen, it invites without asking. The music doesn’t develop — it arrives, disappears, and remains.

This is apophatic sound art — not built on themes, but on the refusal of them.
It doesn’t declare, it negates. Not a construction of beauty, but a slow erosion of its false appearances.
The sound exists as absence made audible — like the gap between waves, or the breath between two conflicting thoughts.

love sella, AlmabuenA – All my best friends don’t pass the turing test (AlmabuenA Remix)

love sella, AlmabuenA

“All my best friends don’t pass the turing test (AlmabuenA Remix)”

It all started when fellow the Hagueians Barend of the legendary trip hop duo AlmabuenA and local underground music legend WivWav got stuck in traffic together. After discussing their musical faves they birthed the conceptual remix exchange that would eventually grow into the legendary chopped and rearranged remix twins, the half of which is this release.

AlmabuenA is a fresh trip hop duo from Spain and The Netherlands. Made up of legendary studio master Barend and masterful club beat juggler Almudena. They’ve been f&%$ing up the scene these days, fast tracking remixes left and right. We couldn’t be happier to be a part of it.

love sella is a legendary renoise producer and cyberwitch/-bitch. Creating dense and energtic electronic punk music for the crazed.

Markus Masuhr – Natural Lifeforms

Markus Masuhr

“Natural Lifeforms”

Requiem for Natural LifeformsIn stillness, Subaqueous Bloom unfurls,
A silent hymn beneath the swirls.
Photosynthetic Drift ascends with grace,
Light-born breath in time’s embrace.

Echoes of Lichen speak in green,
Ancient tongues, quiet and unseen.
The ground heaves with Tectonic Pulse,
Earth’s deep memory, slow and convulse.

Bioluminescent Veins ignite the dark,
Living stars with nature’s spark.
We Respire in Fog, unseen, alive,
In vapor’s hush, we drift and thrive.

A Moss Signal, faint, begins to weep—
Calling to those the soil keeps.
Under the Nocturnal Canopy, we lay,
Returning to life’s silent decay.

Sundialll – HUB

[YESNO 115]

Sundialll

“HUB”

儀式 振動 招魂術

A co-release between WV Sorcerer and Yes No Wave Music.

Sundialll is a contemporary music group based in Taipei and Bandung, featuring vocalist/feedback artist Alica Han and multi-instrumentalist/electronic musician Rama Saputra. Coming from distinct musical backgrounds, they explore new sonic landscapes beyond their borders, embarking on fictional journeys through music. Their process begins with deconstructing rhyme, rhythm, and noise, drawing inspiration from their roots and folklore.

Sundialll 是一個以台北和萬隆為基地的當代音樂團體,由歌手/反饋者 Alica Han 和多樂器/電子音樂家 Rama Saputra 組成。他們來自不同的世界,通過音樂中的虛構旅程,想像一個超越邊界的新世界,從解構來自根源和民間傳說的韻律、節奏和噪音開始。

HUB is an eight-part live album built on free improvisation, centered around the fictional theme of social ritual. It is inspired by gratitude as a transition through the chaos of urban life and the organic social cohesion that emerges from improvisational language. Celebrating the convergence of diverse identities and places, Sundialll collaborates with sound improvisers Hong-Yu Chen (Xiao, Suona, Suling, Clarinet, Chinese Flute) and Dutch E Germ (Drums, Gong, Percussions), alongside dance improvisers Yu-Ting Tu, Naau Wang, and Ouro Yang. With a slow and silent gaze, we extend a welcoming gesture—“Come in, for the boundaries have been opened” (Bubuka).

《HUB》是一張包含八首即興現場表演的專輯,具有社會儀式的虛構主題。它受到感恩的啟發,作為混亂都市生活過渡的一部分,並反映了即興語言所創造的混合身份的社會凝聚力。慶祝來自不同地方和身份的人們的融合,Sundialll 邀請了兩位聲音即興表演者—陳泓宇(笛、唢呐、竹笛、單簧管、花笛)和 Dutch E Germ(鼓、鍾、打擊樂器),以及三位舞蹈即興表演者—凃于婷 、王芊涵 和 Ouro Yang。以緩慢而寧靜的目光,我們呈現出一個歡迎的姿態—「來吧,邊界已經打開」(Bubuka)

Ciudad de Tar – Liminal

[pn243]

Ciudad de Tar

“Liminal”

They say that somewhere, an impossible city exists. That its inhabitants never fully reveal themselves. In “Liminal”, this new album, amid mists and flashes, Ciudad de Tar appears and disappears. Marco Avilez and José Tomás Molina trace coordinates toward a place that doesn’t appear on any map.

Marco ’s guitars echo like radio signals lost in time, drifting through distortion and reverberation, while José Tomás’s keys, synthesizers, clarinet, and percussion shape shifting landscapes—sometimes minimal, sometimes monumental. What they create isn’t just music; it’s the reconstruction of a myth, the search for a lost geography.

This album is a threshold between worlds. Those who have seen them live know there’s something more—something that eludes the obvious. It’s not just musical synergy; it’s the understanding of those who share a secret.

Perhaps Ciudad de Tar does exist. Perhaps Marco and José Tomás have been there, have walked it’s impossible streets, have heard its murmur. But in a world that pushes us toward predictable paths, that binds us to the tangible, finding it is no easy task. Maybe their music is the only way to remind us it’s still there, waiting for those who dare to seek it.

indigo chamber – indigo chamber

indigo chamber

“indigo chamber”

on the debut ep of indigo chamber, a tension reigns between the urge for escapism and pressing wake-up calls from the real world, which seems to grow more imminent and frightening every day.

finding their retreat in hooky, hypnotic dreampop, the crystalline organs, oceanic synths, waltzy drum machines and languid falsetto vocals don’t seem to disturb the idyllic daydream.

but from under the perfect surface a threat of increasing frustration and dissatisfaction looms, and the ever so safe glass bubble is slowly starting to crack…

40% of this album’s sales will be donated to transvisie (transvisie.nl), an organization representing the interests of transgender and genderdiverse persons in the netherlands.

Rani Jambak – VIBRA GENETIKA

[YESNO 114]

Rani Jambak

“VIBRA GENETIKA”

VIBRA GENETIKA is a holistic journey that delves into the interconnected dimensions of life. Since 2013, Rani Jambak has embarked on a path to explore the meaning of her cultural identity as a Minangkabau descendant born and raised in Medan. Through this process, she began piecing together fragments of family history, the complexities of her cultural heritage, and the diversity of her surroundings. This journey has not only allowed Rani to understand her connection to tradition and her ancestral land but also to explore the concept of Rantau (migration) as a vital part of the enduring Minangkabau narrative.

As her journey continues, the transformation of a woman’s life into that of a wife and mother has led Rani to discover new dimensions in understanding herself—a transformation of femininity that transcends physical boundaries, aiming toward harmony between body and soul. Each step along this journey forms a crucial element in shaping her worldview, fostering a profound awareness of the interconnectedness between ancestors, nature, and time. This awareness gives rise to reverence for the past, gratitude for the present, and a vision to perceive “future ancestors” as part of an eternal chain of energy.

VIBRA GENETIKA transcends the search for identity. It is a vibration that goes beyond the energy of genetic inheritance—a resonance that lives within the threads of thoughts, emotions, and the universe. It is a manifestation to dive into oneself and to understand ancestral heritage as energy that continues to echo. It carries the legacy of the past to be interpreted into the future. VIBRA GENETIKA is a holistic expression of spiritual journey and the manifestation of life’s resonance itself.

Rani Jambak, a distinguished composer, producer, field recordist, instrument designer, and vocalist of Minangkabau descent from Medan, actively engages in the exploration of electronic music and soundscapes derived from diverse locations across Indonesia. Her body of work frequently addresses themes related to nature, socio-cultural dynamics, and the interrelationship between humans and their ancestral heritage. In recognition of her innovative contributions to sound, music, and technology, Jambak was honored with The Oram Awards in 2022.

Xu + Oberlin – Velvet Meadow Resonance Fragment

[mhrk435]

Xu + Oberlin

“Velvet Meadow Resonance Fragment”

Oberlin is the musical project of Alexander Holtz from Koblenz (Coblence), Germany. The centerpiece of his instruments is a modular eurorack synthesizer, which he often combines with guitar, piano and field-recordings. His music invites the listener to contemplate, it often is developing quite slowly, it never demands to be in a certain focus of attention, but it never tries to fulfil any ambient-clichees in the sense of creating just an aural wallpaper either. It is musical improvisation maybe in a more subtle kind of way. Oberlin has released music on Handstitched*, cosmic winnetou, Thirsty Leaves, Vaagner, Hibernate, Secret Press, AOsmosis, some tapes and downloads by himself and, notably two beautiful cassette albums on Mahorka.

Xu is Nicola Fornasari from Cremona, Italy. He began his musical career in 1995 as the bass player and singer for the hardcore band Entropia. Starting in 2007, he began exploring new musical projects, including Xu(e) (a duo with Andrea Poli), Xu (his solo project), La Petite Vague (a duo with Diego Balconi), and That Which is Not (a duo with Pier Giorgio Storti / Belaqua Shua) in 2020. His music has been released on a variety of labels, including Fluid, Whitelabrecs, Shimmering Moods, Slow Tone Collages, Krysalisound, Eilean, Flaming Pines, Rottenman Editions, Rohs! / Lontano, Twice Removed, Cathedral Transmissions, Triple Moon, Thirsty Leaves Music, Audio Gourmet, Tessellate, Haze, Many Feet Under, Subterranean Tide, and Laverna. He has collaborated with artists such as Darren Harper, Bill Seaman and Francis Gri.

“Velvet Meadow Resonance Fragment” is the third collaborative album between Xu and Oberlin. For this project, Oberlin provided acoustic guitar sketches, asking Xu to process and transform them into the foundation of the tracks. The recordings were then manipulated through a modular Eurorack system or altered using the Samplr iPad app. Oberlin handled the final polishing and mastering. This work marks the first chapter of an ongoing experiment. In the next chapter, currently in progress, it will be Oberlin who develops everything, starting from the material provided by Xu. Stay tuned.

Released March 23, 2025 as free (cc) digital download and beautiful limited cassette edition.

Recorded in the Summer of 2023 in Koblenz, Germany and Cremona, Italy

Fabien Robbe – Skeudennoù

[mhrk436]

Fabien Robbe

“Skeudennoù”

Fabien Robbe is a composer and multi-instrumentalist (notably piano, trumpet and synthesizers). Established in the heart of Brittany, France, he rose to prominence with traditional music dance ensemble Menestra. He has transposed elements of this background in ‘trad’ to an eclectic mix of jazz, free improvisation (under the guidance of François Tusques) and experimental electronic music.

“Skeudennoù” is his debut solo album on Mahorka, after 2 collaboration albums with Julien Palomo on the label – their “Feeling for the latch” debut as a duo from 2021 and “Miniatures” from 2024. Julien Palomo is also present here on this album, the last track being an eclectic abstract ambient collaboration with him.

Released March 30, 2025 as free (cc) digital download and in beautiful limited Digipak CD edition.

“Skeudennoù” is perfectly showcasing the notable jazz, traditional music and free improvisation composer and performer’s diverse approaches to the experimental electronic music world, providing for a strikingly fresh and unique listen, a milestone album for Fabien we will be definitely returning to.

Recorded in Brittany between 2020 and 2024 by Fabien Robbe.
