About Me

Established 2007.

MAHAKALPA is the solo project of Einstellung guitarist, Andrew Smart.

This enrapturing combination of electric guitar and various acoustic instruments is amalgamated with heavy atmospheres & drones created by various sources, including: granular synthesis, field recordings and tape manipulation. The outcome is a monotonous, warm, transcendent vibe.

Should appeal to fans of the likes of Brian Eno’s "Music for Airports", William Basinski and Kammerflimmer Kollektief.

WARNING: MAY CAUSE DROWSINESS!

First of four phases, ’THE FIRST NOBLE TRUTH’, is currently in progress.
