Announcing Nickolas Mohanna 'Speaker Rotations'

February 4, 2025 (New York, New York):

:: Announcing :: Speaker Rotations from Nickolas Mohanna (AKP037)  on digital and limited run cassette March 7th.

Speaker Rotations is the new sound collection from NY-based artist/composer Nickolas Mohanna, an enchanting arrangement of guitar, trombone, and piano. The first single “Night Horses" is available now.

Rooted in an ongoing improvisational practice, the work arose from live experiments and extended techniques with feedback resonance. The results swell in loops of hypnotic delay cast against stiff digital textures, field recordings, and spatial expressions. The music feels like you are in the room with the artist; it has a presence in headphones but rewards listening aloud where the music can live and breathe.

“There is a refusal to genre in this recording that I've embraced in my studio practice where feeling becomes the catalyst,” shares Mohanna, “and these pieces were made in that mode—with an expressionist frame of mind, exploring the dissonance and impermanence of the sounds.”
