More about Tantroniq:
Our relationship to a technology driven existence (Mantra Machine), isolation from each other (Forgotten), and the pitfalls of consumerism (Toys) are explored themes. In an unusual twist on the sentient machine scenario, a satellite experiencing a concious awakening chooses not to take over the earth, but to depart in search for its true home (Exodus Machina). But Mantra Machine is not a bleak or depressing album. In fact, it is direct honest communication with some humor for good measure (Just Dance, The Purchase).
Tantroniq is a one person sound ensemble made possible by a digital world. Everything you hear in Mantra Machine was created, performed and recorded by Tanya Thielke, whose musical path led from a background in composition to the exploration of sound itself. Of Mantra Machine, she says: "All the incredible music I've had the great fortune of experiencing has enriched my world, my reality. In Mantra Machine, I have created a genuine expression of ideas and sounds that are interesting and important to me. I hope that the people my music speaks to will make it part of their world".
