I'm MA’AM (Anna Makay, Budapest, Hungary) and these are my tracks <3

“I am trying to reach purification in the virtual world. Escaping to the digital space is a daily routine, a hygiene process. Cleaning my computer = cleaning the inside. The computer is the private sphere itself, however it helps to don’t be with yourself.”

Andremodor Modaleda is a character, a planet or expression. I can hide in it and with it within my own safe zone, where bad news and problems cannot reach me. A.M. isolates me from the outside world, she helps me to carry on representing the good side in everyday life and in art alike. I wish to resolve, play, fight and interpret.

MA'AM - Ignora
https://zabrarecords.bandcamp.com/album/ignora

MA'AM (Anna Makay, Budapest, Hungary) is a vocalist, songwriter and an electronics producer. Her pieces focus on ancient languages ​​in the digital environment. She works in the area of ​​vocal improvisation, sound poetry, abstract electronics, avant-garde, noise and experimental.

From Budapest, Anna Makay, guide us to an intimate immersion within a universe with liturgical and ancestral codes, where a language isn't understood in its total form, but it opens the door to an experience and emotional charge. This EP sprouts a language that comes from the opposite direction - it invades our interior and blooms between our skin and organs creating a strange sensation. The boundary between dark and light is very thin, making us wonder whether or not the definition of a barrier or boundary really exists is a single liquid that extends from our birth to our death, a thread that wraps around of our body, whispering, screaming and moaning, with a soulful touch passively stirring the blood - disassociating the ontological understanding between light and its absence.

magyar melankolikus sebnyalás

A REKULTURALIZMUS mozgalom egyik célja, hogy közösen kutassuk az alkotók és a kulturális szektorban aktívan résztvevők szabad valóságértelmezését, és hogy alkotásaik jelenünk, és jövőnk hiteles korlenyomatát rögzítsék. A mozgalom következő témájának körbejárásához szükségünk van a rekulturalisták segítségére!

Magunkban szorongunk és titokban küzdünk. A politika szót valami rosszal és félnivalóval kötjük össze.Kiskorunk óta magyarázkodunk, bizonygatunk, és nem merünk kérdezni. Ha korlátozva is érezzük magunkat, akkor is félünk cselekedni, vagy nem tudjuk hogy biztosan jól cselekszünk-e. Együttesen van elegünk, mégsem tudjuk közösségben megélni a frusztrációnkat. Gyakran csak tűrünk, és nem tudjuk hogyan harcoljunk együtt. Úgy érezzük, nem teszünk semmit és úgysem tehetünk. Mik azok a sebek, amitől vérzik a magyar kultúra? Hogyan és ki kell-e törnünk a magyar melankóliából?


kérdések:

Mikor érzed azt, hogy nem vagy biztonságban?
Mikor érzed magad biztonságban?
Írj szorongást kiváltó mondatokat! (pl: Nem lesz jó; Ezt nem szabad; Senkit sem érdekel.. stb )
Miben érzed magad korlátozva? (Egyénitől a globális szintekig)
Mi a jó forradalom? Hogyan lehet feloldani a magyar melankóliát?

'META' is an interview project of mine which I made for a Hungarian movement called REKULTURALISM. We collected aswers for the following questins:

1. When do you feel unsafe?
2. When do you feel safe?
3. Write sentences that cause anxiety!
4. When do you feel limited? (from individual to global levels)
5. What is a good revolution? How can Hungarian melancholy be resolved?

Podcast No. 186 by MA'AM for @oramicspl platform
www.oramics.pl

Anna Makay first debuted with her joint project with Márton Csernovszky called ooo & MA'AM, which has become an integral part of the Hungarian experimental scene. Her specific singing is simultaneously connected to ritual forms and contemporary trends and draws from a variety of electronic genres (even dance music). She also works with AIWA on the MA'IWA project, Her latest album was released by the Portuguese label ZABRA on vinyl and also digital format, but also released albums since 2018.
Matilda's video seeks a visual response to Anna Makay's (MA’AM) music - which explores the combination of globalized, almost commodified variants of sexual identity and the possibilities of personal desires born within the individual - through representations of LGBTQ+ bodies. In the video, the creators intentionally work with the feminine male body, not only as a conscious counter to
the heteronormative mainstream politics of Hungary, but also as a means to reach a local audience of LGBTQ+ communities.

AZVLM: dj gyalázat - Thelastsummerbrunch@Kolorádó

The lighthouse emitted its invasive beam across the dark waters, a warning sign to those who'd dare venture into these parts. Tales of lost ships and strange amphibians had been passed down for generations, but nobody truly knew the mysteries of this place or the deadly creatures that lurked beneath the depths. It was better left that way...

Budapest-based label Exiles have brought together artists from near and far for their annual compilation, which focuses this time on the sonic exploration of maritime fantasies. Titled Sirens the 20-track release features contributions from the likes of Arexibo, Mala Herba, Thea Soti and our pick from MA'AM, who sonically drift through the realms of dark ambient, chamber music, choral, drone and experimental.

All digital purchases will be donated to The Women For Women Together Against Violence Association (NANE), a non-profit NGO that was established in 1994 with the aim to fight violence against women and children.

PREMIERE: MA'AM - Pretended Resistance [EXILES]

Andremodor Modaleda is a character, a planet or expression. I can hide in it and with it within my own safe zone, where bad news and problems cannot reach me. A.M. isolates me from the outside world, she helps me to carry on representing the good side in everyday life and in art alike. I wish to resolve, play, fight and interpret. 

We carry a lot of frustration. Political pressure, hatred, wars, being concerned for our human rights, losing our freedom of speech, social inequality, climate change, isolation, personal struggles and so on. I feel unsafe more and more frequently and that I am incredibly sorrowful. I wanted to highlight an initiative that bothered me and create an album about, but I found the topic too vast and the problem seed to be too complex so I could not find a focused enough concept. Therefore I choose frustration and blowing off the steam as a topic. 

This material serves to aid me release anxiety, anger and fear. During making music I can fulfil play-like mechanisms. What I mean as playing, is when I am gaming, holding workshops for kids or when I am just running around in the garden like a fool. 

While my previous release (EGMÁ) was about purgation in the digital space, the Andremodor Modaleda is (about) isolation and recharging. Playing swings me over difficulties, and I hope my music will serve the same purpose for others.
