Necktar 2017 volume 3

A mere journey through time,
the great work of anachronistic alchemists,
the apiary of a network of precognitifs,
the magnetic murmur of a quantum flaw,
a vortex of antimatter annihilating all listeners' dogmas,
a dream above the Earth passing through the Unconscious,
a psychotropic meditation resetting the consciousness...

The spectrum of possibilities has been further expanded.

Necktar 2017 is an yearly compilation, an ongoing project until the year 2017, each release with a new set of themes. The set of themes of volume 3 is Macro / Perception / Micro : Evolution. As in volume 2, Merankorii participates in this volume 3 with a track (Barbershop), and this year my side-project kokori is also participating, with the track "Terror Attack". The digital edition of this release is free to stream and download, and is composed by 111 tracks of different yet consistent horse norme bands.

Meranata

TVK netlabel invited Merankorii and Nata "to rework tracks from each others back catalog in any way they saw fit resulting in the split release (in more ways than one) that is MERANATA. This is what happened in the aftermath of that experiment. Two very different approaches, but with much common ground.":

Free Compilation: Necktar 2017 volume 2

What is Necktar 2017 ?

The set of themes of volume 2 is
Random / Perception / Cycles : Reproduction.

A mere journey through time,
the great work of anachronistic alchemists,
the apiary of a network of precognitifs...

Difficult to define Necktar 2017,
till the first cycle is not achieved.

Currently it is a compilation
of hors norme (not normal) music for free sharing,
articulated in several thematic episodes.

For know what it will be ultimately,
unless we can travel through time,
it won't be until 2017.
