klangstabil was founded in 1994 by maurizio blanco and boris may. maurizio blanco and boris may met in 1994. before then, maurizio blanco had already spent most of his life experimenting with electronic music and expressing his own ideas, however boris may had only been listening to music up to that point in time. both of them soon realised that they were communicating on the same level. soon, a new vision was formed: to make people see music in a different way by employing new techniques and ideas. the name, klangstabil, more or less came off the top of their heads, but it fit quite well for both of them. they started producing without ever having the intention of having anything released; in their opinion, they were merely researching personal expression. their main inspiration was and is still kraftwerk. not after long, they were performing in small live-acts which resulted in a record-label showing interest in them. their first production was released on vinyl, and you can expect to see more of the same in the future.
klangstabil's work ethic can be accurately defined as: one step back, two steps forward. with this attitude, klangstabil is creating their own niche by taking principal elements of the very beginning of electronic music and relating these elements to the modern times today. in order to understand what surrounds us day by day, one has to see things from the perspective of creation. as more progress is made, more questions arise. to put it simply: how does a tune get created, what is its meaning and what is its sound there for? in order to understand, one has to go and live through the decades of a wide musical spectrum. klangstabil continues to give an acoustic answer to the question: "what's next?"

Eure wunderbare Musik passt absolut zum Inhalt meines Buches >>Die Spuren der Alten<< ! Technologie und Elektronik gibt es nicht erst seit heute... bereits vor Jahrtausenden existierten hochentwickelte Zivilisationen... Wir waren nicht die Ersten...! Vielleicht gibt es eine Verbindung....
Vielen Dank für den Auftritt in Riga! Es war sehr sehr stark und einfach wunderbar. Euch kennen zu lernen war sehr angenehm! Ich hoffe, dass ihr unbedingt noch irgendwann nach Lettland kommt!
The Mortusae double cd album is an epic sound release created by Nicolas Van Meirhaeghe aka Sal-Ocin (This Morn' Omina, Tzolk'in). It includes new and rare long deleted track and is a journey through time, regions and atmospheres. Mortusae is a restrospective of different periods of Empusae from almost a decade. A collection from early releases to more recent collaborations with friends & musical family. Containing tracks from the legendary maschinenfest 10 year jubileum, comic-book soundtrack and other never forgotten but very rare tracks of his first albums which were not released on hands. All tracks were mastered by Mika Goedrijk (This Morn' Omina, Pow(d)er Pussy). The red line through Mortusae and also Empusae's essence is dark, melodic, danceable and atmospheric electronic music based on the human gift >fantasy<. Merge yourself with beauty and decay, darkness and melancholy, tribal ceremonies and unearthly misery... enter into oblivion!
