About

About MNTRA Inspired by the natural world, animism, and ancient knowledge from around the globe, we embrace the expressive (im)perfections that arise in the process. We perform and record instruments using experimental methods, and strive to capture sounds and craft effects that defy convention and evoke a sense of the unknown. Our bespoke, Extreme-Resolution recording techniques—often utilizing ultrasonics and extreme spatial resolution captures—combined with constant experimentation in workflows and sound sources, result in instruments and effects that are living manifestations of our shared exploratory journey. Each release is a universe within our sonic multiverse, created to inspire and challenge our fellow musicians and sound designers. We view the world itself as an instrument, brimming with boundless magic and sonic potential. In our own way, we strive to capture this magic and infuse it into our creations, ensuring that our instruments and effects resonate with a sense of life and spirit. Our aim is not just the development of virtual instruments and effects, but the creation of interactive soundworlds that serve as conduits for your creative inspiration and workflow enhancements. These tools are crafted to empower you, our fellow creators, to push your boundaries and explore new sonic realms together with us.
