Artists:
Solo instrumental works, primarily synthesizer based.
Styles are a mixture of soundtrack, earthy and surreal electronics, new age ( not the "wallflower" new age), classical, and world music influences.
Best described as "Visual music" - close your eyes and envision your own personal visions that the music evokes.
Albums available are: Fabric of Space , idioSYNcrasies, and Synthphonies, plus a Radio Interview (featuring 30 minutes of chat and 30 minutes of Synthphonies "on the air").
Albums "in progress": Syntax, Algorithms
Rock band format, with drums, bass, keyboards, guitars (usually) and vocals (for the vocal albums, and not for the instrumental albums).
Formed in 1989, Uku Meri is the bandleader and primary instrumentalist (and vocalist). Guitarist Mark Corregan has been with the band since 1992. Some previous band projects have been backwards labeled, as they are in the same spirit of the band.
Styles vary, as do accompanyists. In the progressive rock spirit, all styles are within reason. Listeners have previously likened what they heard to ELP, Peter Gabriel (Genesis), Frank Zappa (Mothers of Invention), King Crimson, Rush, David Byrne (Talking Heads), Danny Elfman (Oingo Boingo), Yes, Jethro Tull, Mike Oldfield, etc.
Albums available: Human Sushi
Albums "in progress": Unspoken Habits, Another Take, Accolade
* More ? ...
More artists may be gracing this label in the future, but currently due to the budget constraints of this fairly new label - it may be quite a while before this gets geared up. This label is currently a "private label".
Meri Music would like to build alliances with other independent artists in any case.
Currently, Meri Music is being reorganized into "Progsters.com" - encompassing a broader spectrum of mussic.
E-mail Meri Music if you are interested, whether as an artist, an investor, for distribution, as a larger label with re$ources, and so on...
