Acclaimed Swedish composer, producer, and live artist Sebastian Mullaert, and Georgian electronic artist Tamarma (Tamara Davitashvili), are set to release the deeply personal and genre-fluid album 'Holds the Sky' via Awesome Soundwave, the label curated by Christopher Coe and Carl Cox. Spanning ambient, experimental, and alternative electronic forms, at it's core, the album is the result of an unusual artistic convergence that traces back to 2020. Tamarma entered Mullaert's successful In Bloom mentorship program on a scholarship, and over a year-long deep exploration of album creation, her work revealed a rare clarity and emotional depth.One piece in particular became the catalyst. Developed further through Mullaert's 4 step studio process, it unfolded into a full-length album collaboration. What began as a single composition has since grown into an album that documents an organic and intuitive exchange between two distinct artistic voices.The result is less a collection of tracks than a continuous unfolding; a dialog shaped by trust, listening, and shared curiosity. Rather than aiming for a fixed genre position, the album operates as a living process: a meeting point between tradition and experimentation, between voice and synthesis, between two artists allowing something larger to emerge through their collaboration.With compositions such as the chiming 'Being Colours' and hypnotic 'Holds The Sky,' Mullaert and Tamarma have created a body of work that resists easy categorization. The album moves through intimate, meditative passages and more rhythmically driven moments, always anchored in a sense of presence and emotional immediacy. The flickering beats of 'Winnow' and ambient manifestations of 'Lost in Dimension' and 'Field of Us' add a sense of tranquility, stillness, and convergence.Tamarma's voice carries both a personal and cultural depth throughout the album, while remaining fluid and responsive to the moment. The result is a sound that feels both intimate and spatial, where voice, texture, and atmosphere are closely connected. Her Georgian musical heritage combined with Mullaert's open-ended electronic exploration, allows something beautiful to emerge, shaped by listening, space, and a sense of something larger than either artist alone.Widely celebrated in the electronic music community, Mullaert has spent the last three decades moving beyond the boundaries of electronic music, from shaping the sound of cult duo Minilogue to creating the fully improvised global platform Circle of Live, which has seen him perform and collaborate with artists such as Mathew Jonson, Âme, Amp Fiddler, Aurora Halal, Speedy J, Sam Barker, Dorisburg, Move D, Sleep D, Kuniyuki, Pantha du Prince, Leafar Legov, Wayne Snow, Laurence Guy, VRIL, Neel, and Erika.Initially making a name for himself in the world of techno, his performances have moved fluidly between environments, from underground spaces including Berghain's Panorama Bar to festivals around the world, and venues including the Barbican, London, where he has appeared alongside artists including Joep Beving, Laura Misch, and JakoJako. Platforms such as ARTE have featured his performances, placing his work within a broader European cultural context, while support from Resident Advisor and Boiler Room reflect his continued presence within the core of electronic music culture. He has received a Swedish Grammy and the P3 Guld award from Swedish National Radio.His 2020 album 'Natthall,' developed in collaboration with Tonhalle Orchestra Zürich and performed with Subchamber Ensemble, saw Mullaert enter the world of contemporary composition, and merged electronics with chamber music and improvisation. The album was later named among the top post classical releases of the year by BBC Music Magazine.A new documentary film by Ableton, set for release this summer, captures Mullaert's Circle of Live project through a performance at Brighton Dome in the UK, featuring Mullaert and electronic artists Clark and Rival Consoles. The film offers a rare insight into the inner workings of collective improvisation at a high artistic level, further cementing Mullaert's role as a leading voice in contemporary live electronic practice.Tamara's background is rooted in the landscapes and traditions of Georgia. Raised near the Caucasus Mountains, classically trained in piano, and shaped by years as a jazz vocalist, her work carries traces of Georgian polyphonic singing and a strong connection to nature and place. Her transition into electronic music is not stylistic, but transformational; a recontextualization of heritage into new sonic forms.
