"...meditative, sparse patterns graduating to brisk clusters without ever entering the realms of the discordant: the point where Satie’s influence on new age is made flesh..."
The Quietius
Mark Wagner is an artist and composer whose work centres on Mysticism and who's music is a portal for deep introspection, ecstatic melancholy and clairvoyance.
Oscillating between electronics and traditional instruments like the piano and organ, he creates a contemplative soundtrack for emotional transcendence. He has released music on zamzamrec (Mental Transmutation Music) and Adadaat (Chosen Frequencies) and his metaphysical visions have led him to work with frequency, resonance and sound as universal principle.
A spiritual renaissance man, Wagner practices sacred traditions and Mystical philosophies which are indissociable from his art which also takes the form of multimedia, sensory and immersive performance, ceremonies and ritual, as well as countless collaborations, such as Moon RA, H.U.M (Rocket Recordings), Cymagick, and Ahrkh Wagner.
Previously working with loops, feedback, echoes, chants, drones, repetition, mirrors and emanations of the Infinite, and with a musical output reflecting his own personal spiritual path, PIANO PRAYER takes us to his present moment...
his most stripped back, to self, to being, creative flow channelled through fingers to piano keys, in two sides of devotional prayer.
Recorded at St John's of Jerusalem church in Hackney, PIANO PRAYER harkens back to a new age of serene devotional music, with echos of Joannna Brouk, Gurdjieff and Popol Vuh, uplifting the spirit through two long form piano improvisations, that soar and dance through the air like butterflies of melody.
Wagner is a space rock drifting from one galaxy to another in the incommensurable space-time. A leaf falling from a tree... Deciduous. Deciphering Symbols, Music of the Spheres and songs of whales. He merges to the wind, and borrows the sun's golden fire. Carrying on the flame of Blavatsky, Gurdjieff, Roerich and those explorers of truth, he is a breath, a dream, and beyond... the Trance.
Physical copies are realised on professional high quality dubbed C30 cassette, with on body print, full colour four page double sided inlay, and as ever, acetate Golden Ratio Spiral. Available for Pre-order July 10th, releases and ships July 22nd.

An elongated version of the brutally heavy Learn to Forgive was reintroduced into the GNOD live set in 2022, leading to my rediscovery of this brilliant riff-tastic album. jonezyboy
This is an excellent record. I’ve been using it for meditation or background music for several days now and it keeps revealing itself. It’s like a brain wave massage…. For fans of Coil’s Time Machines or other ritualistic, waves of shimmering drone music. AHRKH has tapped into something for me. Recommended Kelly Davidson

I was seeking a comprehensive update, both in terms of quantity and quality, regarding the music I greatly enjoyed during the mid-1980s. I discovered an abundance of options. sweetsweetmusic
