MASK Featuring Sonja Kristina (Curved Air) and Marvin Ayres To Release Second Album

Much to the anticipation of the music press and fans worldwide, MASK are releasing their second album 'Technopia 'on r.a.r.e (Repertoire) Jan 2010 and will be performing in UK and Europe in April - May 2010. This is MASK's first release since their UK Top 20 Club hit single 'Waking The Dream'.

MASK are actress/singer Sonja Kristina (Curved Air) and modern classical composer/producer/Cellist Marvin Ayres . Both established innovators in music and performance. Marvin Ayres's album Cellosphere (Mille Plateaux) established him as a groundbreaking composer/producer.

Sonja Kristina has been touring with the reformed Curved Air in support of the band's recent CD release Reborn (featuring two of Marvin's productions) and incorporating music from the first three classic Warner Bros Curved Air Top 20 albums, Air Conditioning, Second Album and Phantasmagoria.

In the summer of 2010 Marvin Ayres will be performing/touring his latest composition 'Harmogram' using 3D sound design, in association with Martyn Ware (Heaven 17/Human League), at major international festivals.

Accompanied by their band, this will be a rare opportunity for audiences to enjoy MASK's Technopia tour on their first European dates since 2005, playing London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Stockholm and Moscow along with other towns in the UK, France, Germany and Italy.

Imagine a post apocalyptic futurustic barren terrain, in which the MASK protaganists Jack and Virginia (from MASK's 1st album 'Heavy Petal') are ghostly lovers who reunite to revisit their darkly passionate relationship from the last volatile years of their past lives. Combining a musical sensibility of Bjork/Elbow/Sigur Ros/Bat For Lashes/Massive Attack, with the macabre darkness of Tim Burton, this theatrical and dramatic performance of MASK's music laced with stunning visual (Quadratura) and sonic effects will bring to life the land and love that is...'Technopia'
