Mana is a solo artist and producer from the UK, now based in Berlin. He renders skeletal guitar lines, enmeshed in electronics both dense and pristine. Post punk, shoegaze, synth pop, EBM&#8230; yes&#8230; but not entirely. Beneath the shifting tension of these disparate strains, there is an underlying iridescence to the sound.<\/p>\n<p>From a punk and then songwriter background, and having grown frustrated with the tonal limitations of acoustic instruments, A.D. Mana had always been experimenting in electronic production. Through working as a graphic designer at a music software company, he gained access to an array of synths, drum machines and other equipment, as well as the knowledge of how to operate them. However, spending days designing software interfaces and long nights in the East London studio experimenting with gear, eventually began taking it&#8217;s toll. After declining health gave him the warning signs something needed to change, A.D. Mana relocated to Melbourne, Australia. He wrote and recorded with various artists there, but had still not defined something that felt like his own work. <\/p>\n<p>Relocating again, this time to Berlin, he reconnected with friend and sound engineer, Christian Richardson. Finishing the first eponymous A.D. Mana EP, released on Sentimental Records in 2016. He followed this with the music video for the single &#8216;Take Hold&#8217;, directed by Sally Dige, which took us on a propulsive, paranoid, desaturated Super 8 journey through Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>Working with Alex Akers of Forces (Fleisch Records), he has now completed his debut LP &#8216;First Life&#8217;, creating an expansive world racing between celestial freefall and claustrophobic shadow.  The record is a bittersweet and sprawling letter to lovers wilfully lost in the onsen of desire, mundanity, heartbreak and hope.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;First Life&#8217; will be released in 2018 on Manic Depression Records. The first single and video &#8216;Blue Romeo&#8217;, taken from the forthcoming album, is out now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCFgvPYm3FychvC-HSa7EKwg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fab fa-youtube fa-2x\"><\/i><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/A.D.Mana.music\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fab fa-facebook-f fa-2x\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"woocommerce columns-3 \"><ul class=\"products columns-3\">\n<li class=\"post post-with-thumbnail post-with-thumbnail-icon product type-product post-6225 status-publish first instock product_cat-digital product_tag-new-wave product_tag-post-punk has-post-thumbnail downloadable purchasable product-type-simple\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.manicdepression.fr\/en\/produit\/a-d-mana-body-of-glass-ep\/\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manicdepression.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/a3869286362_16-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"A.D.

Mana est un artiste et producteur solo du Royaume-Uni, maintenant bas\u00e9 \u00e0 Berlin. Il produit des lignes de guitare squelettiques, engren\u00e9es dans l'\u00e9lectronique \u00e0 la fois dense et vierge. Post punk, shoegaze, synth pop, EBM ... oui ... mais pas seulement. Sous la tension changeante de ces tensions disparates, il y a une irisation sous-jacente au son.<br>D'origine punk puis auteur-compositeur, frustr\u00e9 par les limites tonales des instruments acoustiques, A.D. Mana a toujours exp\u00e9riment\u00e9 la production \u00e9lectronique. En travaillant comme graphiste chez un \u00e9diteur de logiciels musicaux, il a eu acc\u00e8s \u00e0 une gamme de synth\u00e9s, de bo\u00eetes \u00e0 rythmes et d'autres \u00e9quipements, ainsi qu'\u00e0 la connaissance de leur fonctionnement. Cependant, apr\u00e8s avoir pass\u00e9 des jours \u00e0 concevoir des interfaces logicielles et \u00e0 passer de longues nuits dans un studio de l\u2019Est londonien \u00e0 exp\u00e9rimenter du mat\u00e9riel, il a fini par se sentir \u00e9puis\u00e9. Sentant sa sant\u00e9 d\u00e9clinante lui donner des avertissements, quelque chose a d\u00fb changer, A.D. Mana est parti \u00e0 Melbourne, Australie. Il a \u00e9crit et enregistr\u00e9 avec plusieurs artistes, mais n'a pas r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 d\u00e9finir quelque chose qui ressemblait \u00e0 son propre travail.<br>En d\u00e9m\u00e9nageant \u00e0 nouveau, cette fois \u00e0 Berlin, il renoue avec son ami et ing\u00e9nieur du son, Christian Richardson. Finissant le premier EP \u00e9ponyme d'AD Mana, sorti sur Sentimental Records en 2016. Il a suivi avec le clip du single 'Take Hold', r\u00e9alis\u00e9 par Sally Dige, qui nous a emmen\u00e9s dans un voyage propuls\u00e9  en Super 8, parano\u00efaque et d\u00e9satur\u00e9 \u00e0 travers Berlin. .<br>Travaillant avec Alex Akers de Forces (Fleisch Records), il a maintenant termin\u00e9 son premier album 'First Life', cr\u00e9ant une course mondiale, expansive, entre chute libre c\u00e9leste et ombre claustrophobe. Le disque est une lettre douce-am\u00e8re et tentaculaire aux amoureux volontairement perdus dans l'onsen du d\u00e9sir, de la mondanit\u00e9, du chagrin et de l'espoir.<br>'First Life' sortira en 2018 sur Manic Depression Records. Le premier single et vid\u00e9o \"Blue Romeo\", tir\u00e9 du prochain album, est sorti maintenant.&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":66,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6981","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","post"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.manicdepression.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.manicdepression.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.manicdepression.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.manicdepression.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.manicdepression.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.manicdepression.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6981\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.manicdepression.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/66"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.manicdepression.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
