about
EXORCISING THE EVIL SPIRITS OF MODERN TIMES.
Ornah Mental is Dirk Schlömer's ethno-dub, Kraut- and space-rock playground, which started as Dirk's solo project in 2001, Bernhard joined in 2018.
Ornah Mental's eighth release is another true celebration of organic groove music.
Dirk Schlömer (www.xn--dirk-schlmer-djb.de) is no stranger to the German music scene. Born in Cologne, he was the guitarist of the German band "Ton Steine Scherben", one of the first and most influential German-language rock bands of the 1970s and early 1980s, a musical mouthpiece of a new leftist movement at the time, especially in their hometown of West Berlin. Schlömer also worked closely with Rio Reiser, the frontman of the same band, who later became a solo artist. Schlömer was also the mastermind behind Das Zeichen, a German gothic-ethno project, to name just a few of the many other bands and projects worth mentioning.
As Schlömer's story and background suggests, "Strong and Stable" makes a statement about current socio-cultural issues. The title "Strong and Stable" refers to a phrase used almost as an incantation by former British Prime Minister Theresa May.
The music of "Strong and Stable" is a spoof on modern narratives and their obvious misdirection, but it is not a bleak dystopia. It's like a travesty by three old white men that makes you shake your hips while laughing out loud at an unsettling situation.
“Groove is the ground, that gives orientation”
– Dirk Schlömer.

Bernhard Wöstheinrich Berlin, Germany
Bernhard Wöstheinrich elicits meaning from abstraction in electronic music and painting. He has studied graphic design and
has created an eclectic body of work in both graphics and music.

A bit a cross of Vangelis and Schulze, but more hypnotically dense and modern, as well as emotional and exciting.

This epic song is an excellent ride of sound at every unexpected turn. You never know what to expect next, except for a 35 minute song, you will never get bored. It’s thrilling. Well done to all the musicians who contributed. This must have been a task to mix, and was accomplished perfectly.
