Mantra

Hailing from Constanta, a port city on the Black Sea of Romania, E-Mantra is a seasoned veteran and prolific composer, with several releases on respected labels such as Suntrip and Altar, under a variety of aliases (E-Mantra, Emanuel Carpus, Neurosect, and Night Hex, to name a few). Early on in his career Emanuel was influenced by a wide variety of sounds, including acid, techno, and of course trance, but he’s primarily known for representing Goa Trance and Goachill / psychill / psybient (call it what you will).
One of the things that makes his productions special is the emotional richness he brings to his craft, as well as his ability to create a sense of traveling into other worlds (both inner and outer). If you had a rocket ship to explore the stars this would be your ‘go to’ soundtrack.

Boolean Languages is a dark ambient album that is sombre in approach and mysterious in overtones. A combination of digital and analog synthesizers, musique concrete and drones creates an album that is an ambiedelic brew of sonic excursions into the dark unknown lands within. This album is dedicated to world peace and the end of all suffering for all sentient beings. May you enjoy this album in good health.

Sonic Alter was originally issued by Kim Cascone on his Silent imprint in 1994. The original Sonic Alter was one of the best selling atmospheric records, and possibly the best on Silent. Many brain-hemisphere synchronization techniques / frequencies are employed.
Michael Mantra (1950-2014) creates Ambient music. More than that, he creates tools for "brain hemisphere synchronization" (after synchronizing the mind and the body, Mantra’s work claims to release endorphins - part of the human body’s natural pharmacy which work at the level of opiates). Mixing modulating high and low harmonic tones (low deep drones and high resonating harmonics) with didgeridoo, ocean waves, rain, water, birds and other natural sounds and instruments, Michael creates a perfect ambient soundscape for the ultimate relaxation trip…

European Mantra is a yardstick in the Hungarian music scene. Yancha is the band’s 6th album. The album, consisting exclusively of Borlai’s compositions, brings the usual "Mantra" style characteristic of the band, but like all their albums, unexpected musical twists and surprises occur this time as well. Borlai, unlike with previous European Mantra albums, has now made less use of the limitless possibilities of arrangements of technical instruments, but focused on making the band sound the same live as on the album, without any background equipment. Thus, it is safe to say that European Mantra has in a sense returned to its own roots, which is the highest level of compassion for extremist genres, uncompromisingly, in the spirit of joy. On Yancha everything that the band’s fans expect from the band: loud, fast, melodic, informal, funny, brave, heavy, travelling, soloing, singing. The "Mantra" style itself.

Mobius Logic is an album of 5 tracks that moves into dark ambient 4am chill out zone. Mobius Logic defies conspicuous consumerism frame of mind and through soft and subtle manipulations of space and time creates a sonic enzyme for changing states of feeling and consciousness. Musique concrete is plied with equal doses of psychoacousties and dronecore.

A precious sonic masterwork, documenting the extraordinary collaboration between Michael Mantra and Charlz De La Casa. A cd of suspended time and space… 'classical' static music. Two long tracks flow like sonic lava, weaving together lush background washes, and evocative field recordings. Dark electric sounds, beautiful drones, inner-Earth rumbling, human voices, concrete noises, ship engines, sirens, sounds of the sea, bubbles, wind, chants, and wildlife sounds merge in an indefinable (and never before experienced) way… an absolutely unmissable work.

These 2 long pieces are the sonic equivalent of floating in a body of water on another planet, with gentle washes of water sounds, waves, and deep, harmonic synth chords that breathe and expand. Organic sounds like twigs/sticks bring to mind Alio Die's sacred, earthy tone poems, plus we hear mysterious voices in the background that disorient. This album is a total sound immersion experience, and should be listened to on headphones for the full, almost "3-D" effect as the sound swirls and washes over you from all directions. Sonic Continuum is a serene, cyber-organic journey, both earthy and alien at the same time.

E-Mantra is Emanuel Carpus, from the Black Sea Coast of Romania…

Radio Fore is a psychoacoustic journey into a deep swirling pool of 40Hz tones and binaural beats. The two extended length atmospheric soundscapes explore the mysterious sonic phenomenon that has been documented at hundreds of UFO sightings. Track one takes you for an overnight stay in North, North-West Puerto Rico, at the Arecibo Observatory, track two takes you to the sandy shores of Gulf-Breeze, Florida in the middle of the night. Two places of highly active UFO activity.
