Magnetar (Unpublished Works)

Soak Up My Tears

Skeletal sketches, rough ideas,
basic mixes, works in progress,
and old things from the past.
Just a strange dusty little monkfish.
Nada especial.

One listen to SOHAR and you’ve opened yourself up to a dark disco, trip hop, synth drone, analogue-soaked experience that draws from intimate conversations between electronic duo Mark H Evans and Hannah Jones.

It’s a narrative in sound where each other’s musical influences have been filtered through Mark’s synthesisers and guitars to create SOHAR, an album of songs that speaks of the often dirty but ultimately beautiful human condition that makes us who we are… but with a beat.

Hannah and Mark have a long and diverse musical partnership and their friendship spans more than 30 years. From bedroom rock ‘n’ roll in a South Wales terraced house to two ethereal acoustic albums as Betty Black & The Sleeping Giants, they parted ways when the vagaries of being and family commitments took precedence.

Now reunited as Sonic Coins + Icons, they’ve joined forces to put everything they’ve learned, experienced, listened to and thought about when life got in the way to make something meaningful and melodically profound. 

That’s a big statement - but it’s a big album. 

Mark has been a member of two influential and highly regarded Welsh 90s bands (The March Hares and The Jonah Hex) and shared stages with the 60 Ft Dolls, Dub War, The Stereophonics, Shed 7, Pop Will Eat Itself, Gorky’s Zygotic Mynki, Captain Sensible and Nova Mob. 

He’s written soundtracks for film and TV and was shortlisted for a BAFTA Cymru for his work on BBC’s Codebreakers: Heroes of Bletchley Park. He also composed soundtracks to two short horror films this year (Reel Terror and End of Days).

Hannah’s a published author, broadcaster and journalist. But what she really loves doing more than anything else is be the first to hear Mark’s songs. Then be the only one to sing them.

SOHAR, their first album as a pair, was written and produced by Mark and supported by a cast of friends: Charlie Adlard (cover artwork), Joe Farr (mixing and mastering), Darryl Corner (photography and film) and Gary White (vocal recordings).

As to the album’s title? All we will say for now is that SOHAR is an acronym with clues to its meaning on the back of the album sleeve (due for vinyl release in November)… 

…and in every line of every song. 

All you have to do is listen.

The debut album out now ⤵️
https://ffm.to/magnetar

MAGNETAR is the prismatic debut album from Perdurabo, the brainchild of classically trained multi-instrumentalist, electronic artist, and composer Davide Arneodo - an enigmatic force in music, with an exceptional blend of electronic, rock, and classical influences.

As a member of the seminal alt-rock band Marlene Kuntz, Davide contributed to the tremendous impact the band had on the Italian music scene. Amidst challenging times, he established his own label, releasing the EP "Komponent" produced at Funkhaus in Berlin and the collaborative record "The Time Traveller". Compositions like "The Answer" and "10 Pianos" were featured on Nils Frahm's Piano Day playlist, displaying Davide's artistic versatility.

After releasing three compelling singles last year, including "Hopes" feat. Daudi Matsiko and Tom Adams, "Dark Fire" feat. Echlo, and "Cast Stones" feat. Miro Shot, and receiving positive feedback from both critics and the audience, he set the stage for the full album's release. 

Produced alongside the exceptional talents of Gareth Jones and Matt Colton in London and featuring Jörg Wähner (Apparat), Gabriele Giletta, and Jochen Arbeit (Einstürzende Neubauten), this marks the beginning of a new chapter. New York artist Andy Gilmore has added a captivating visual dimension to the record, curating four distinct covers that reflect his visionary perspective.

As a genre-defying artist, Davide is leaving an indelible mark on electronic music.
