The opening track from the latest album of Mechkov auraloramas.

Hidden Cameras

Infrared

The opening track from the latest album of songs by Mechkov. This was a collaboration between Mechkov and erstwhile guitaring partner, Moni Voev of Nova Generatsia and Art Generation. A great way to open an album...

All Systems Go

Originally a youtube live performance, but then made it on to the Hidden Cameras album... a real beaut!

First Rays

Possibly the track that inspired the album – or if not, certainly the one that pulled together all the strands that Mechkov was working on at the time... An unknown classic!

Evening News

Very much the track that inspired the Hidden Cameras album, another youtube live recording and one that caught the attention of many... A truly beautiful piece and one that fully illustrates what a live, improvised soundscape can be.

Morning Through the Door

The final track recorded for the Rough Cuts album and something of a departure. Mechkov gets Funky... Well, whaddaya know!

Honoroficabilitudinitatibus

A terrifically popular song from the 2015 Mechkov album, Rough Cuts. Explores dark themes, but in a jaunty way – "things don't have to be bleak" is the message.

Long Way Down

A darker shade of the Rough Cuts album, originally written as a live performance, loop-based song, but very much stands up as a studio performance as well... Popular with a certain DJ...

Sometimes Hides

Work in progress fr om the latest Mechkov album. For the first time in many years, Mechkov is working in collaboration with another songwriter, in this case Leagle Beagle Brian Deeley... It's going to be a brilliant album!

Frayed At The Edges

recently uncovered some of the old Monday Morning recordings form 1996/97, was due to be released as the album Paper Tigers, but the money ran out... Great band, though

The Pearl

Singer, songwriter, guitarist, bassist, Mechkov somehow manages to span three different musical worlds from his experimentations with ambient 'soundscapes' (or auraloramas, as he prefers to call them), through writing and recording rock, pop and pop-rock songs, to playing in a class covers band that is a lot more original than the descriptions sounds.

His background is very much in the sphere of rock music, and, during his ten-plus years in Bulgaria, he enjoyed considerable chart success there.

Check out the website for examples of his past and present albums, his work as a producer... And then buy everything!
