Mansur

Mansur: Temple [CD]

"Pentatonic Ruins" is MANSUR's 5th release on Denovali - it follows the 2022 "Oscuras Flores" album. "Pen- tatonic Ruins" is more of a song adaptation album than a new material album. It highlights the vocals of Marti- na Horvath and presents a collection of Mansur songs in a more hypnotic and trance like manner. This album can be seen as songs for transcendental rituals.

MANSUR is the newly initiated project by Jason Kohnen (ex-The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble) joined by Dimitry El-Demerdashi (ex-Phurpa) and introducing Martina Hórvath on vocals. The sound of MANSUR navigates between the waters of musical fantasy and reality - it morphs and blends traditional instrumentation with modern day electronica. Horváth, El-Demerdashi and Köhnen return to their otherworldly worldbuilding with their debut album 'Karma' on Denovali. MANSUR leads the listener into mystical and magical unknowns, that lie far past the realms of material perception. As astronomer Carl Saga once wrote "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known". Universal lessons of life, brought by teachings and teachers of ages. Unimaginary worlds in all our capacities of being created. MANSUR is the transformational vessel guiding you to these non-physical realms. The realms you seek are already there, its up to you to find them.

The sound of MANSUR navigates between the waters of musical fantasy and reality - it morphs and blends traditional instrumentation with modern day electronica. After the debut record "Temple" and the debut full length "Karma" Minotaurus is Mansur's first live improv recording. A musical homage to the mythos of the Minotaur. The minotaur as a mirror of self reflection - the fear of confronting one's inner ugliness. MANSUR takes you on a sonic journey through subterranean labyrinths, evoking spirits from past echoes of Minoa. Jason Köhnen: Bass / Electronics Dimitry El Demerdashi: Oud Martina Horváth: Vocals
