Tasmanian Dark Ambient Experimentalists MEKIGAH Reveal 2nd Single for 5th LP

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

By Billy Goate

From Huonville, a town along the Huon River in Tasmania, Australia, comes MEKIGAH, an ambient industrial doom project of guitarist Richard Ziltch and various collaborators, now five albums deep into the experience and taking us on a disturbing, quasi-mystical journey deeper down the strange rabbit hole of brain-wracking technological acceleration corresponding with social, cultural, environmental, and spiritual decline.

Their forthcoming six-tracker is aptly named: 'To Hold Onto A Heartless Heart' (2024). As the album opens ("Collapsing Under"), there are samples of various mechanical sounds. I found myself turning down my volume to check and see whether those weed eaters were coming from my own neighborhood or not. They don't last long, and soon we escape the suburban morass into a world of surreal sounds that seem to comment on the mad zoo of isolation and vanity that human existence has become. You can feel these unsettling rumblings in the track that follows ("Broken Rhythm Pressure").

Before us is the album's second single, "Away Drifting," of which Mekigah member Skot tells us this:

"Away Drifting" From was the last track written to complete the album. Having had time to listen back to all the other material numerous times it made it much more clear to me what sort of track/sound was missing. The idea of what almost seemed like a throwback to earlier Mekigah, starting with a more folk-inspired melodic riff, drawn out more flowing mid to doom paced, less chaotic drums and crushing chords, quickly transformed as soon as I handed over the initial recordings to Richard Ziltch. RZ took a fairly leading role on this song in particular, adding layers of psychedelic, swarming and claustrophobic guitars.

As well as these layers that can be heard as both guitar and any number of other things, he also played a strong hand in mixing all his and my parts before Leigh and Sova Locus added to it further and I last added vocals.

Vocals were split into two sessions and two ways of thinking. There is a brooding, wordless, mournful choir,relaxed and breathing slowly. Then an unhinged explosive schizophrenic outburst of pain, confusion and bitterness.

It has a pretty straight forward structure compared to other tracks on this album but is no less noisy, chaotic & overwhelming sonically in its own way. There was an intention to create something a bit more beautiful and ambient with this track which slowly got taken down and drowned in a swamp of unforgiving frequencies, unforgiving emotions and negative psychedelic attributes.

We go, leave, are away, drifting from people, out of our mind, knowing or caring about what's going on in society, drifting away from places, from memories, physically, mentally.

Drifting through time, through life, through dimensions, through space. Drifting like water, like particles in the wind.

Mekigah's To Hold Onto a Heartless Heart is an immersive, often terrifying, contemplation into the bizarre landscape of our present reality. Out in August on the Aesthetic Death record label (get it here).

SOME BUZZ

The fifth MEKIGAH full length album is a purposely designed ugly, drawn out, raw, awkward journey.

There's no attempt or desire to either embrace the slow slow doom, to aggressively technically impress or to build upon previous motifs. Everything is caught between worlds, as MEKIGAH itself is caught between worlds.

Nothing is where it belongs as things are uncomfortably forced together through the sheer necessity of only gaining satisfaction via sonic self sabotage and harm, creating audial-mazes to which they then have to delicately navigate through.

"I trade in uncertainty and superstition and cant. I invent dark visions of impossible situations that can never be resolved” - Ralph Steadman

Heavily driven by basslines along with industrial, sparse, neanderthal drums. Guitars are featured heavily, but infrequently as riffs, more as screeching, wailing, floating walls of high frequency pain that are meshed with discordant piano lines – all this amidst the brief, but demented, freestyle vocal stabs and incoherent mournful chants. Neither the gothic metal, nor the noise doom of previous releases, yet having slight nods to both in fleeting moments.

“To Hold Onto A Heartless Heart” can feel immensely detached & cold but somehow personal & emotional too. This is MEKIGAH evolving, following his own heart and creative vision.

More challenging than catchy or entertaining in any shape or form. Layers of sound to discover and uncover in detail on repeated listens. At other times there feels to be claustrophobic walls of noise that are impassable, impossible to make sense of but for the hope and glimpses of reason that are seen through the minimalist riffs and beats - simplistic, repetitive and drilled into your skull over and over again.

“What it's all about”….. is far more dictated by however any individual interprets the music, or how it makes them feel.

With any lyrical content, words & voice serving far more as an instrument or sound than expressing a storyline or emotion. Words on this album are minimal yet the confusion & loss that inspired them were huge.

Once again featuring long time collaborator guitarist Richard Ziltch and this time joined by Tasmanian underground metal legends Leigh Ritson (Disseminate, Thrall, Ruins) & Alex Pope (Ruins, Evil Dead) along with local experimental noise-mates Sova Locus, Primal Regression Therapy, Sydney Punk/Noise stalwart Con BCTW (Blurters, Milat, Impact Statement) and local arborist Sammy.

Mastered by Greg Chandler and once again Aesthetic Death is honoured to be working together with MEKIGAH to release this on digi CD.

Our new louvered roof project progressed well today, with great weather in Huonville supporting the central structure, which was installed within the day. We will install the blades next, but we also have motorized zipscreen blinds to go in between Bay 2, Bay 3, and Bay 4. This will give us a very wind and weatherproof entertainment space going into a Hobart winter. Stay tuned for further updates as the blades are inserted tomorrow. This will provide an excellent weatherproof entertainment space going into winter

Ein aktueller Leitfaden für die Wanderung zu den Pelverata Falls im Snug Tiers Nature Recreation Area, Tasmanien. Enthält alles, was Sie wissen müssen, wie Sie hierher kommen und was Sie von diesem Tassie-Wasserfall erwarten können. Pelverata Falls ist ein beeindruckend hoher Wasserfall, der 114 Meter in eine vertikale Schlucht stürzt, die vom Pelverata Creek geschnitzt wurde. Dieser gilt als einer der höchsten Wasserfälle Tasmaniens und ist, da er recht einfach zu erreichen ist, definitiv einen kurzen Tagesausflug von Hobart oder dem Huon Valley wert. Wie kommt man zu den Pelverata Falls? Pelverata Falls befindet sich im Naturerholungsgebiet Snug Tiers. Der Ausgangspunkt des Wanderwegs liegt etwa 35 Kilometer (40 Minuten) südlich von Hobart oder nur 15 Kilometer (20 Minuten) von Huonville entfernt. Um hierher zu gelangen, müssen Sie in Richtung der kleinen ländlichen Gemeinde Pelverata an der Pelverata Road fahren. Sie können den Parkplatz am Ausgangspunkt entweder von Norden (Sandfly) oder von Süden her erreichen, indem Sie von Woodstock abbiegen. Ich habe die genaue Position des Parkplatzes am Ausgangspunkt des Pelverata Falls unten angeheftet, was genau ist. Ich fuhr von Huonville zum Wasserfallweg und bog vom Channel Highway links in die Pelverata Road ab. Dieser Straßenabschnitt ist größtenteils nicht asphaltiert (9,2 Kilometer), aber gut gepflegt und mit jedem 2WD oder großen Van leicht zu bewältigen. Der Parkplatz befindet sich 1 km die Crosswells Road hinunter, die ebenfalls nicht asphaltiert, aber gut gepflegt ist. Es gibt auch mehrere blaue Schilder, die den Weg zum Wasserfall weisen, mit ausreichendem Telefonempfang auf dem gesamten Weg. Der Parkplatz bietet Platz für ca. 10 Fahrzeuge. Über den Zustand der von Norden kommenden Straße kann ich leider nicht viel sagen. Es sieht jedoch so aus, als wäre es auf dem gesamten Weg nicht versiegelt und auch ziemlich windig. Google Maps Pin: „Pelverata Falls Track Car Park“ VERWANDTE BEITRÄGE: Snug Falls | Wellington Falls Der Pelverata Falls Walk Wanderstrecke: 6 Kilometer hin und zurück Dauer: Offiziell: 3 Stunden, leicht in weniger als 2 Stunden zurückzulegen Höhe: 290 Höhenmeter insgesamt Schwierigkeit: Ziemlich einfach Der Pelverata Falls Track ist ein ziemlich einfacher, hundefreundlicher Wasserfallweg. Der Rückweg beträgt 6 Kilometer, die Strecke ist breit, gut gepflegt und ohne anstrengende Steilpassagen. Am Parkplatz finden Sie eine ausgeschilderte Wegmarkierung. Die Wasserfallwanderung beginnt mit sanften Hügeln durch trockenen Hartlaubwald und folgt etwa den ersten Kilometer dem Rand einer Privatstraße. Ungefähr auf halber Strecke teilt sich der Weg mit einem großen, blauen Wegweiser, der den Weg zum Wasserfall anzeigt. Der letzte Abschnitt der Pelverata Falls-Strecke wird ein wenig felsig, da ein stählerner Handlauf in den Felsen geschraubt ist, um Ihnen beim Aufstehen zu helfen. Dieser Abschnitt ist für allgemein fitte Menschen überhaupt nicht zu schwierig und erfordert keine technischen Elemente. Nach ungefähr 3 Kilometern tauchen Sie an einer kleinen hölzernen Aussichtsplattform direkt unterhalb der Pelverata-Fälle auf. Es ist auch möglich, zum Fuß des Wasserfalls zu gehen, indem man kurz vor der Aussichtsplattform einen Abstecher macht. Dies kann jedoch etwas rutschig sein und erfordert ein leichtes Klettern über nasse Felsen.

Seine Quelle ist der Pelverata Creek, der auf Regen angewiesen ist, um einen anständigen Fluss zu erzeugen.

Dadurch ist dieser Wasserfall nach starken Regenfällen am beeindruckendsten und kann in den trockenen Sommermonaten komplett austrocknen. Mit 114 Metern ist Pelverata Falls einer der höchsten Wasserfälle Tasmaniens. Aber wenn die Wasserfälle bei Ihrem Besuch nicht sprudeln, machen Sie sich keine Sorgen, die malerische Schlucht und die Waldumgebung sind immer noch einen Besuch wert. Auf der anderen Seite der Schlucht können Besucher auch die Slippery Falls sehen, wobei die beste Aussicht etwas weiter oben vom Aussichtspunkt aus zu haben ist. Dieser Wasserfall ist weniger beeindruckend als die Pelverata Falls und stärker vom Niederschlag abhängig. Leider war es bei unserem Besuch fast komplett trocken.

LA SCUOLA CHE PRODUCE LA SUA ENERGIA PEDALANDO

Un liceo australiano genera pedalando l’elettricità di cui ha bisogno: la Huonville High School in Tasmania si alimenta solo attraverso fonti rinnovabili, con pannelli solari, l’energia idroelettrica del fiume che scorre dietro alla scuola e anche le sue biciclette. Gli studenti spendono ogni giorno un po’ del loro tempo per produrre l’energia che serve al loro istituto, imparandone il valore attraverso la fatica che occorre per produrla.

"Cerchiamo di aumentare la loro consapevolezza sull’efficienza energetica in questo modo", spiega Michael Fewing, l’insegante che sta insegnando a questi ragazzi quanta energia serve per alimentare le cose. "Vedete questa friggitrice? In questo momento viene alimentata da loro, così sanno quanto devono pedalare e quanta elettricità devono generare per compiere un’azione quotidiana come cucinare".

"Ho capito che possiamo fare la differenza", dice la giovane studentessa Saila Pereira mentre pedala. Gli studenti del liceo stanno andando a scuola in bicicletta per il desiderio di combattere il cambiamento climatico, implementando una trasformazione che ha contribuito a risparmiare 44.000 dollari in bollette da quando hanno iniziato le loro attività di risparmio energetico e sta anche ispirando i giovani della comunità ad agire per il futuro del pianeta su scala locale.

Gli studenti della Huonville High School hanno vinto lo Zayed Future Energy Prize e hanno utilizzato il premio per creare un laboratorio dove i ragazzi imparano e insegnano come l'energia rinnovabile può essere applicata alla vita quotidiana.
