Dulaxi has published an in-depth interview with Hidden Shoal artist Markus Mehr about his new single ‘Day 15’, the first release from his forthcoming WATERSHED EP.

In the interview, Mehr discusses the origins of ‘Day 15’, his use of found sounds and field recordings, and the process of transforming material captured during the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine into an experimental sound work. He also reflects on listening, artistic responsibility, and the role of art in responding to moments of profound historical change.

“Art is indispensable for the resilience of social coexistence – an indispensable luxury, so to speak.” – Markus Mehr

Markus Mehr’s WATERSHED EP will be released on 23 October via Hidden Shoal. Markus Mehr’s music is available for licensing through Hidden Shoal.
