SIBERIAN BLUES IS THE SOUNDTRACK OF MY LIFE . . . MUSIC


With her "Siberian Blues" Maria Marachowska has created an entirely new music style. Its strength lies precisely in the alternation between two opposite and equally stirring ways of expression: on the one hand the deliberate slowness that leaves room to the tones and allows them to linger on in the silent pauses, and on the other hand the always increasing ecstatic speed amounting to a trance-like, almost shamanic outburst. In her music and the soft timbre of her deep singing voice, this blue haze, that is Blues, takes on the shape of figures and moods, forms poetic words either from her own pen or inspired by world literature, and seems almost meditative. Whoever gets into this unique experience of "Siberian Blues" submerges far under the surface and comes across long lost feelings and emotions. This particular energy is transferred to the listener and has a cathartic effect.
The melody speaks, we believe to hear a continuous echo to her singing voice on her guitar, she is capable of a playing technique that in a wondrous way conveys the acoustic illusion of hearing several instruments out of one. In the general effect, there is no need of any other instrument but this single guitar, to produce the drive of a band. It is as if the tones were falling from a distant star, as William S.Burroughs described the divine power of music in his “Cities of the Red Night“.
Maria Marachowska, born on July 21st, 1980 in Omsk/ Siberia (Russia), spent her early childhood in Estergom/ Hungary (1980-1985) and in 1985 she moved with her family to the historic metropolis Kaliningrad/Königsberg (1985-1998), where she attended the E.T.A. Hoffmann music school for highly gifted children/ instrument: piano/1989-1993. In 1998, she returned to her native city Omsk/ Siberia (1998-2000) for a period of 2 years to complete her studies of fine arts. Since 2000 she has been living in Germany, since 2004 in Berlin, where she has also newly discovered music for herself in addition to her work as a fine artist and has created her personal, innovative music style of SIBERIAN BLUES. In 2007 she recorded her 1st album with 1st songs. In 2012 she released Album "HEART" (12 Songs). Although a convinced solo artist, she has also collaborated and performed with renowed musicians in the course of her professional career, i.a. with German music producer, film composer and bassist Micki Meuser (Micki Meuser is a German bass player, studio musician (Charlie Mariano) and music producer for bands such as Die Ärzte, Ideal, Ina Deter, Lemonbabies, among others) who has recorded and mixed her solo albums "EMOTIONS" (2015) and "STRANGER" (2016) and from 2016 - 2017 she recorded album "SILENCE" (2017) with British music producer, film composer and exceptional Hammond player Alan Reeves (Alan Reeves is a British film composer, music producer, and Hammond B3 virtuoso. In the course of his career he has received 35 international awards, including a Goldene Schallplatte. He became known for his work with the bands The Showtimers and Clinic as well as for the music for the films To Walk with Lions, The Call of the Wild: Dog of the Yukon, and Kill Bill Vol. 2. He has appeared with, among others, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry, The Animals, The Who, Jimmy Page, David Bowie and The Beatles).
Since 2017 she is a member of GEMA and has submitted more than 200 songs and 300 instrumental compositions. In 2017 she released her solo album "MELANCHOLY". In 2018 she recorded by herself solo album "ABSTRACT DADA". Driven by an untiring creative energy, she constantly continues to develop and share her new musical work on various music and social media platforms both as carefully edited sound recordings and live transmissions and in the form of artistic music videos & albums created by herself.
Also from 2015 she recorded instrumental albums by herself: "WATER" (2015), "MATERIA" (2015), "9" (2015), "NIGHT" (2015), "SUMMER" (2015), "WINTER" (2015), "BLUE"(2016), "MEMORY" (2016), "HYPERICUM PERFORATUM" (2016), "FOREST" (2016), "THE ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY" (2016), "ICE" (2016), "HORROR COMES IN THE END"(2016), "LOST IN THE OCEAN" (2016), "TIME OF EXPECTATION" (2016), "GREY MATTER" (2016), "THOUGHTS OF 21​.​12​.​2016" (2016), "DARK BLUE" (2017), "GLASS" (2017), "SICKNESS" (2018).
In 2020 she released her solo album "WHY" (2020) & instrumental album "HORRONA" (2020). In 2021 she recorded & mixed 3 instrumental albums: "VISION", "DRIVE" & "GHOSTS".
She is fully aware of the fact, that she has the charism of a solo artist, she convinces with her personality and proves in a time, tending towards musical group pressure, that it is something special and outstanding to celebrate this art of minimalism and set a clear, precise and courageous statement against this band consonance. In her own hands, the diamond is polished best and reaches the utmost brilliance. Text: Iris Weirich

DEUTSCH Mit ihrem “Sibirischen Blues“ hat Maria Marachowska eine völlig neue Musikform geschaffen, deren Kraft sich in der bewussten Langsamkeit offenbart, mit der sie den Tönen Raum gibt und sie auch in der Stille der Pausen nachklingen lässt. Dieser blaue Dunst, der Blues ist, formt sich in ihrer Musik und dem weichen Timbre ihrer außergewöhnlich tiefen Gesangsstimme zu Figuren, zu Stimmungen, nimmt die Gestalt poetischer Worte an, die sowohl aus eigener Feder als auch aus dem Repertoire der klassischen Weltliteratur stammen, wirkt beinahe meditativ. Wer sich auf dieses einzigartige Erlebnis des “Sibirischen Blues“ einlässt, dringt weit unter die Oberfläche und stößt auf lange verschüttete Gefühle und Emotionen. Diese besondere Energie geht auf den Zuhörer über und versetzt in einen befreienden Zustand der Katharsis. 

Es ist ihr bewusst, dass sie das Charisma für eine Solo-Künstlerin besitzt, sie überzeugt mit ihrer Persönlichkeit und beweist in einer Zeit, die zum musikalischen Gruppenzwang tendiert, dass es etwas Besonderes und Herausragendes ist, diese Kunst des Minimalismus zu zelebrieren und dem allgegenwärtigen Band-Gleichklang etwas Klares, Präzises und Mutiges entgegenzusetzen. In ihren eigenen Händen wird der Diamant am besten geschliffen und erreicht die größtmögliche Strahlkraft.

Die Melodie spricht, auf Maria Marachowskas Gitarre glauben wir immer auch ein Echo ihrer Gesangs-Stimme zu hören, sie beherrscht eine Technik des Spiels, die uns auf wundersame Weise die akustische Illusion vermittelt, mehrere Instrumente aus dem einen heraus zu hören. In der Gesamtwirkung bedarf es nicht mehr als diese eine Gitarre, um den Drive einer Band entstehen zu lassen. Es ist, als würden die Töne ihr von einem fernen Stern zufallen, wie William S. Burroughs die überirdische Kraft der Musik in seinen “Cities of the Red Night“ beschrieben hat.

RUSSIAN Сибирский блюз - совершенно новое музыкальное открытие Марии Мараховской. Некоторые характерные черты выделяют его из ряда многих музыкальных стилей. Это и нарочитая медлительность, протяжность звучания, это и многочисленные паузы, умолчания. Исполнительское мастерство Марии Мараховской гармонично сочетается с глубиной ее текстов и высокохудожественных текстов классиков мировой литературы. Мягким тембром низкого голоса исполнительница описывает то формы различных фигур,  то переключается на свое внутреннее состояние, все это создает ощущение медитации. Тот кто впервые сталкивается с Сибирским Блюзом погружается в глубину давно забытых чувств и эмоций.Слушатели словно завороженные получают заряд необыкновенной энергии,  вот именно такое состояние души и называется Катарсис.
