Early days

edit

When describing the origin of his interest in music, Mor says:

« As a little boy, I used to spin round and round and make noises while waving my hands back and forth in the air. Everybody called it 'explosions'. They didn’t quite understand it so they just laughed and let me continue without asking too many questions. They figured it must be a passing phase. I remember them asking: “Alon, will you still be making explosions when you’re twenty?” And I replied, “yes.” Looking for a way to retrieve the focus. I remember what those explosions were, it was my imagination expressed in the most liberated way I could come up with. I would run in circles, making sounds, as I conjured up music, stories, worlds and scenarios in my head. I would think, pretend, imagine, and let thoughts run wild. In fact, I have never stopped making explosions. The only difference is that today, everyone can hear them. »[2]

Musical career

edit

Alon Mor was initiated to music at a very young age. He began producing music by composing trance music with the in-built production software of a large piano[3]. He eventually went on to pursue an education in classical music, encouraged by Sergio Vega (A&R at Astralwerks[4] and who later became his manager) and produced classical and jazz music during his spare time.

In 2015, Alon Mor released his debut album titled Masters Of The Human Imagination.

He then released his second LP in late 2017, titled The Long Awaited Journey in both digital and CD format (a limited and signed edition of 450 copies was also made available for purchase). The Long Awaited Journey brought Mor international recognition across the electronic music's artistic spectrum. Among many artists, Rezz, artist signed to Deadmau5's record label Mau5strap, Apashe, Kill The Noise and Herobust all praised the album[5][6]. One half of Funkz, electronic music producers duo who collaborated with Prism and Dyro on Spacetunnel (Dyro Edit)[7] said of TLAJ: « Best electronic music album ever made. Hands down for maybe the most underrated producer at this moment. »[8] The Long Awaited Journey was ranked 99th on the The 100 Best Albums Of the Decade list by the WECB.fm staff and community[9].

His third album titled Lands Of Delight, was released in late 2019, in the same formats as its predecessor. Lands Of Delight was caracterized by a more tribal-sounding and melodically minimalistic approach than its predecessor, giving less room to the soft classical breakdowns for loud and aggressive distorted indigenous-sounding progressions. Sami Tauber of Fashion Industry Broadcast said of the album: « It’s rare for me to come across innovative sound design and music that I have never heard before, but Alon Mor 100% took the musical crown with his genre-bending, orchestral thrilling soundscapes! In my humble opinion, the next Hans Zimmer, meets John Williams, meets trippy Lewis Carroll artistry. »[10]

Alon Mor also released two EPs: Natural Beheres in 2015, and Associative Delusions in 2016[11].

In 2020, Canadian producer Apashe (signed to Kannibalen Records, Black Tiger Sex Machine's record label) replied to a fan on Twitter who asked for a list of artists whose music he recommended. The list included Alon Mor among a few others such as Jaykode, Thys, Labrynth, Josh Pan, Overwerk, Code Pandorum, Imanu and X&G[12].

To the few exceptions of his collaborative singles, his EPs and LPs were all self-released and made available through Bandcamp[13].

As of 2020, Alon Mor has played shows alongside Xilent, xKore, PhaseOne and more[14].

During the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2019-2020, Alon Mor announced on Twitter that he had debuted the composition, production and recording of new music[15]. As of September 2020, it has not yet been revealed if the productions are going towards a fourth LP.
