Pulsar + Demetrio Cecchitelli - Fade In Brighter Age [mhrk506 teaser]

Coming up on 29.08.2026 as digital download and in limited cassette edition!

Leonardo Pucci, also known as Pulsar, is an electronic musician, drummer and independent curator based in Foligno (Umbria, Italy). Demetrio Cecchitelli, who has already released two works on Mahorka (Ruins, 2021 and Combination with Andrea Marinelli, 2022), pursues a spontaneous exploration of deep listening and expressive freedom.
The two musicians met in 2022 for the event series Sintesi Festival organised by Leonardo, and immediately hatched the idea of making a record together in the future. Here it is now “Fade In Brighter Age”, a space-ambient, mellow and liquid cassette released on the label run by Ivo Petrov.

Enriched by the trumpet contributions of close collaborator Jacopo Buda, the record unfolds across both sides with a 15-minute long-form track (Cosmic Dream) on the first side, and two instrumental joyous soundtrack with glossy hues on side B. An engaging blend of avant-garde and minimalist atmospheres, equally suspended in a playful and lively immateriality, as if simply enjoying making music in a small, yet well-equipped home studio.

Stay tuned...

Planck Tone #174 (w/ Demetrio Cecchitelli)

Demetrio Cecchitelli is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and research artist, released on labels such as Whitelabrecs, ROHS!, Le Mont Analogue, LINE, Shimmering Moods, Chitra Records, Élan Vital Recordings, Zenapolæ, etc. On Mahorka he debuted in 2021 with "Ruins". In 2022 his "Combination" with Andrea Marinelli came out. In those times, in the dawn of the Planck Tone series, we had two amazing mixes by him: #11 - a trip through Mahorka, #29 - "Sonic Reliquiae", a trip through his works and collabs.

4 years later we are happy to present a new guest mix from him, and even happier, to announce the coming release of "Fade In Brighter Age" by Pulsar + Demetrio Cecchitelli, a track from which is premiered in the mix. An instrumental joyous soundtrack piece from side B of the coming tape fits awesomely in this engaging and lively Planck Tone blend of avant-garde musical atmospheres, perfectly setting the tone for the coming avant-garde space-ambient, mellow and liquid cassette release. Dive in!

NEW RELEASE: SPTW - EUTHYMIA [mhrk505]

https://mahorka.org/release/505
https://mahorka.bandcamp.com/album/euthymia

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"

EUTHYMIA is SPTW's long-lasting effort to overcome mental issues so as to reach peace and stability in a more and more fragile and inconsistent world. These 12 tracks should be viewed as a time-capsule reflecting the inner thoughts and feelings of its two members whilst keeping their heads above deep water.

EUTHYMIA is the long-anticipated follow up to their debut on Mahorka, At the Foot of the Ladder, from 2024.

All beats: SPTW a.k.a. Some Pretend to Whisper (Perkin Warbek and Stakha). NO AI generated. SP404 MKII + MPC 2000XL, tons of records, and pencils, desks and bottles as weapons of thought.

Programming and editing: Perkin Warbek
Keys / Bass by Stakha on tracks 5, 7, 9, 10
Vocals by Stakha on tracks 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11
Vocals by Misty on track 2

Guitar and vocals by Asteroide Maravich on track 10
