If I must die,

you must live

to tell my story

to sell my things

to buy a piece of cloth

and some strings,

(make it white with a long tail)

so that a child, somewhere in Gaza

while looking heaven in the eye

awaiting his dad who left in a blaze–

and bid no one farewell

not even to his flesh

not even to himself–

sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above

and thinks for a moment an angel is there

bringing back love

If I must die

let it bring hope

let it be a tale

A Threnody to Gaza

909 meets analogue bass line? Sure! Don't be scared.

cabara - Nein Oh 909

Metal Muted

Recorded using English border bagpipes and a small Septavox synth. This is my take on a 15th century piece by the late medieval composer and diplomat, Oswald von Wolkenstein (1376-1445). I added the improvisations at the start and finish (plus the obvious analogue additions).
When performing this live, I use a loop pedal alongside a friendly-looking, tactile yellow synth and my equally tactile border bagpipes.

Dirty Wolkenstein

Last jam on Roland T-8 to tweak sounds and create patterns for my compact travel set-up, recorded directly in Audacity on OS X (via USB + T-8 as audio device)

Empress of the Mountain

A bold fusion of contrasts, Hunting Flowers explores the space between tension and serenity. Deep, analog synths cut through the atmosphere with a raw, almost predatory edge, while the floating melodic layers bring a sense of weightlessness. The result is a dynamic, evolving journey - equally hypnotic and energising. A fresh direction from Michael A that intrigues, inspires, and invites interpretation.

Yakooza - Cocaine (Dimensional Flip)

Moog and Hammond organ improvisation at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, June 2025.
The Hammond is a little low in the mix, but it is there. I will return to this combo once the Hammond has returned from its dubious quarantine...

Based in Düsseldorf, Germany,  cabara crafts a distinct strain of house music that drifts between deep minimalism and atmospheric experimentation. His productions resist easy classification—at times meditative, at times driving, but always rooted in mood over mainstream appeal. With a clear sense for sonic detail and emotional nuance, cabara creates immersive tracks that feel more like environments than songs. It's house music for the curious listener—subtle, spacious, and unconcerned with trends.
