** Merganzer's first full length album, "Mirror Maze" is now available here: https://merganzer.bandcamp.com **
Wonderful German pianist Nils Frahm has declared March 29th, the 88th day of the year, world "Piano Day" so, in honour of this celebration, here's a sneak preview of a track from Merganzer's upcoming full-length record that makes use of this tender and timeless instrument. 
Merganzer is the new experimental pop project of Violinist Mika Posen (Timber Timbre, Agnes Obel). Most of her music is built around strings and keyboards, but "Ganz Großes Kino" was written and recorded on an old acoustic upright piano late one night in Berlin during the early winter of 2014. String sounds and tape delay were added later on back in Canada.


Ganz Großes Kino

02 Mirror Maze

Merganzer is the new experimental pop project of Violinist Mika Posen (Timber Timbre, Agnes Obel, Forest City Lovers). Mika's string contributions can be heard sweetly sweeping across the records of numerous Canadian bands, but her violin takes a central, yet unconventional role in this solo project. Merganzer's songs were primarily built using the “mikatron,” a mellotron-style string machine that Mika created from 90 different samples of her own Violin. These samples were then processed through different combinations of effect pedals to create unusual, haunting organ-like textures.

Merganzer’s first full length record “Mirror Maze” will be ready for the world to hear in the fall of 2015. Mika recorded most of it herself while living in Berlin and mixed with Dave Draves at Little Bullhorn in Ottawa.
