About Me

Mahri Autumn is the conduit for the songs of multiinstrumentalist, singer song writer and composer Marianthe Loucataris.After being holed up in an unassuming suburban house, perched under the astounding Mt Keira, surrounded by exotic percussive instruments and permanently plugged into her Mac Laptop for 12 months.....(or is it longer???) Mahri Autumn is on the precipice of completing her first release. It is currently up to mixing stage and in the hands of New York based multi instrumentalist/artist/producer Brian Siskind The recordings are mostly done solo but also include wonderful contributions from guitarist Michael-John Azzopardi. Henry Lauer (bass) and various sounds from Brian Siskind. She is currently performing live solo as well as with a talented collective of musicians including Yani Socratous (sniffer dogs, national pornographic, the drop) Matt Bourne (percussion junction, obrobini) and Noah Hampson.Marianthe Loucataris has performed her way through the indie rock scene (including national and international touring with machine translations (1998- 2001) the folk scene and has provided music for theatre, film, dance and multimedia work ........... She also teaches Egyptian Style drumming and has worked extensively as a Community Cultural Development worker with culturally diverse groups of young people and adults, people with disabilities and the general community.
