Anchorite 04:09
ANCHORITE // soon / you’ll take me away / from the noise / and from the parties / to be alone/ with you / i have come to live like this, now / i have come to taste your bliss, now / you quench my mind
2.
SOLILOQUI // i am the word / i am the only one / did you talk away your worth? / did your talking make you stern? / open up a little / look me just into the eyes / move your mouth a little / make your time here worthwhile / exchange, contact / this comes from my needs / come, tint my world / with what you please / open up a little / look me just into the eyes / move your mouth a little / make your time here worthwhile / talk to me, talk to me / otherwise / I’m lost in soliloqui
3.
THE LIGHT HAS SPOKEN IN MY DREAM // what you consider as bad / bring it forth now / i’m not mad / just lay in into my hands / i will understand / what you consider as sad / bring it forth now - i’m not mad / just lay in into my hands / i will understand / say it
4.
The Meeting 05:16
THE MEETING // i will meet you again
5.
Fallen 03:01
FALLEN / change to what / change to who / for who may i ask / because i didn’t know / the sweet sky has fallen down / who was that, who was that? / momma, don’t lead me astray / in a world that’s so weird and strange / that some people drown / the sweet sky has fallen down / she’s come back to the ground / and the roots that she’s taken / no breakin' of diamond souls / many times we’re low / and may times we stayed / sweet sky has fallen down / and the names come / they’re swirling around / and we reap all these feelings / don’t touch, just watch / feelings underground / the sweet sky has fallen down

about

Maya Nadir’s EP „Anchorite“ is a assemblage of surreal songs that range from Ambient to Contemporary R’n’B. „Anchorite“ evokes a feeling of urgency, as if something important has to be told. With a voice naive yet mature Maya Nadir brings up the subjects of identity, change, human interaction and meditation in an undiluted, honest production that perfectly features her poetic flow of consciousness style lyrics. Swirling synth lines and crystalline arpeggios, beats that flirt with Hip - and Trip Hop and shiver in slow motion pair with instrumental elements like piano, Rhodes piano, cello, chimes and recorder. Traditional as this might seem at first - listening to „Anchorite“ you find yourself in an Avant-Gardesque flow of dark pictures, leading the path to a feeling so ancient, it must be from the future. It’s where the ends of the circle meet, a breeze that foreshadows a genre of music and mindset yet to come.

Maya Nadir - loosely translated as „unique illusion“ - is a German oriental artist and producer who comes from a background of experimental music. Rather than serving a genre, she uses different formal styles and places them in the context of her own highly original creativity. The surreal world she creates features elements from Hip Hop, classic, tribal and LoFi genres, woven together in an dark, experimental yet attractive way.
