About Me

I really appreciate those who have added me, listened, and even bought my CD! Especially all of you gorgeous women! Would one of you marry me???

Ishur Ninku began as an outlet. I needed to express the moods and textures that were swimming through my head. I thought this would be a one time thing...
In the summer of 2000, I wrote the first two Ishur Ninku songs ("The Mystic" and "Shroud"). I really had no idea then, that I would actually complete a full length CD, much less a followup!
The Self Titled first Ishur Ninku CD (S/T) was the result of painless hours spent with sequencers, guitars, and anything else I could lay a hand on. It was simply the most pleasureful recording I've ever done. Rarely does the recording process go so smoothly and offer so little stress.
With S/T, I sought to capture an Eastern vibe. I had been reading a lot of materials on the Ancients and various prophetic utterings. Inspiration would come, and I would happily pursue it.
An outlet... Well maybe not anymore. In 2003 I felt the urge to write and record another Ishur Ninku CD called Shiva (the "i" is pronounced like the word "shiver" - the word is from the Jewish funeral ritual). This disk is not another Eastern influenced record. It has it's moments... But it is darker, more brooding, and maybe a little more atmospherical than S/T. In fact, I may have been listening to too much Tangerine Dream while writing it! Shiva featured a more textured and ambient approach.
In 2005 I released S/T and Shiva on one CD called Contemplation (A Collection). This compilation contains all songs from the first two CD's as well as two brand new, previously unreleased songs.
Ishur Ninku is a means to escape the rock and roll style of Sombrance that I spend most of my time on. It is an instrumental exploration into the electronic genre and a journey through ethnic, chill, and ambient sounds.
Peace
Rick Mester
