Mahri Autumn defies musical boundaries.
The first release ri-solv is a natural integration of folk, indie rock, classical, world music & sound design.
Lush accordian drones, ambient piano, Egyptian percussion, guitar, sounds & unearthly vocal harmonies.
The lyrics are melodic mantras embedded in complex rhythmic structures.
Love, death, transformation, gender, religion and politics laid bare.
Created largely on my own but with inspiration, sound additions, mixing and mastering from New York based musician/producer Brian Siskind (FOGNODE) (Siskind has also worked with Michael Schrieve (Santana), Bela Fleck and Clare Burson as well as having a wonderful body of his own work)
Formed in the ether between the cultural frontier (Wollongong, Australia) and one of the centres of global culture (NYC). The result is something other than either.
I have been holed up in an unassuming suburban house, perched under the astounding Mt Keira, surrounded by exotic percussive instruments, permanently plugged into my Mac and obsessively watching my inbox for too long.
It is time to head out of the studio and offer ri-solv to the world……… I hope you enjoy it : )
