MOURAE「ND001」 by MOURAE

⠃ˎ╮◟⸝ᛁᛘᚬᚢᚱᛅᛁ⠃ˎ╮◟⸝ᛁ

You hear voices in the depths of a well.
Joyous cries desperate to scatter through time.
You can hear stones touched for the very first time and the sound of obsolete game consoles. Growls of fictitious animals and fragmented sentences by people who are no longer among us.
Through this sound assemblage, MOURAE sings to tell their myths.
A narrative that connects the lore of the mouras through time.
From their ancient past in the Galician landscape to the present embodiment of MOURAE with their contemporary worries and joys; to their future as an emancipatory force, shaping legends yet to unfold.

MOURAE presents their first musical project and homonymous EP, where they use the symbolism of the mouras (Galician and Portuguese folklore mythological feeric beings with a monstrous feminine appearance similar to Greco-Roman nymphs, Lamias or Banshees; who guarded treasures, built megaliths, and shapeshifted into animals to challenge, tempt, or teach humans) as a playground for experimentation with their identity and their own experiences. Reflecting on the meaning of tradition, they mix musical structures from Galician popular culture with video game samples and machine learning-launched remnants of field recordings.
A sound tribute that views time as an incessant eternity, like a map seen from the sky.
