Jana Komaritsa presents the new album of her project Darkrad – Heart Murmur, released on German label audiophob. With this album she continues the theme of inner blackness and disturbances of mind, weaving the canvas of ominous world. Heart Murmur is a medical condition, when the sound of blood flowing can be heard in between regular heartbeat cycle. Darkrad creates swishing rumbling sounds of the tortured heart, sounds from the reality not seen, from the world not known, sounds from the dread, both inner and outer. Merging melancholic dark ambient passages, bitter melodies, disturbed vocals and raw noisy sounds, rhythms and basslines, she opens the door to the infinite dark and offers the listener to dive into the world beyond. Pure unrestrained emotion interweaves with once suppressed memories and fears, merging into one flow of hypnotic soundscape. Listen to her grim heart murmur, pulsating and vibrating in between the regular healthy heartbeat, frightful signals sent from the other side, penetrating the normal reality and spreading into our world. The album also includes bonus tracks: compilation contributions and former tape releases, partially in new versions, as well as remixes from Flint Glass and Mortaja.

Darkrad returns to audiophob with a celebration release for the project’s 13th anniversary. The box set “13 Years of Melancholia” contains a CD with new material, concert lives and remixes from Mandelbrot, Aphexia, Chaotalion, Anatoly Grinberg and Alarmen, as well as a joint track with Flint Glass. Furthermore you’ll find a 7” single with two additional brand new tracks and a set of photo prints. Jana Komaritsa, the mastermind behind Darkrad, is a multidisciplinary artist, who wears many hats in the creative world – from visual arts to music, curation and event promotion, to videography and performance. The new release is a subtle mix of various electronic music genres, with focus being kept on the realm of dark ambient, where Darkrad continues experiments with voice and soundscapes, creating a murky atmosphere of her dark and intimate universe, where pure unrestrained emotions are brought to the surface. “13 Years of Melancholia” is welcoming you to join Darkrad’s sophisticated artistic journey, where you might either find or lose yourself, while wandering in the gloomy and melancholic passageways of the artist’s mystery. “Melancholy is one of the most profound feelings. It offers your soul the comfort, while at the same time drowns you into anguish, being quiet, pervasive and emotional at the same time.” – Jana Komaritsa.

Darkrad is a dark-industrial music project of multidisciplinary musician an visual artist 
Jana Komaritsa, existing from 2009, based between USA and Europe. She has been 
involved in the alternative art scene for many years, participating in and organizing 
various events worldwide (USA, Germany, Russia, France, Netherlands, Finland, Argentina, 
Spain, Canada and more), from major festivals (Maschinenfest, Summer Darkness, 
Wroclaw Industrial Festival, DarkMad, Elektroanschlag among others) to experimental 
shows. 
The artist realizes her deepest feelings, emotions and inner thoughts, weaving the sound 
and visual canvas of obscure and surreal, yet beautiful worlds. Mystery and melancholy, 
dreams and dark beauty, spirituality and metaphysics are strongly piercing her creations. 
Her performance is an ocean of feelings from the somber corners of the subconsciousness, 
which doesn’t suppress and turn off the emotions, but sharpens them to a sometimes 
frightening peak. She often incorporates visual and expressive elements in her show, 
such as creating paintings, painting on herself, canvases, audience and more. 
Released on labels: Cold Meat Industry (Sweden), Audiophob (Germany), Mrakmur (USA).
