Agora by Maki

Further studies in melodic ambient, drone, noise and electroacoustic sound design. These were slowly drafted during the production of WAAIFTF, American Road Films and even as far back as If And Only If. Some rough drafts from this project ended up on If And Only If. The remainders were worked on through 2022-2023. Mostly as a distraction from producing structured music. Source files are 24bit/48khz.

This kind of music lets me explore sounds, arrangements, techniques, instruments and mixing approaches that I don't often get to use when working in genres like hip hop.

Released in collaboration with Endemik Music and my own new imprint - Claw Tone!

I created this label to differentiate the music I release outside of the production I'm typically associated with (rap shit). I considered a name change, but this just seems easier. If you see a drop on Claw Tone, there's a good chance it veers well outside of experimental rap/hip hop, although I might sneak something in there from time to time... ;)

If ambient works aren't your thing, thanks for rocking with me and check my back catalogue, and the Endemik Music library for awesome indie hip hop!

In memorandum of my friend, Carrie.
