Hailing from the depths of the underground music scene, The Allegorist is a visionary, enigmatic, transmedia, and boundary-pushing artist known for crafting deep, immersive, and intricate sonic tales. Embracing a wide array of influences, weaving together the mysteries, art, philosophy, symbolism, and spirituality, The Allegorist defies categorisation. Inspired by her childhood dream of becoming an archaeologist, she embarks on a perpetual quest to discover the secrets and meanings of the world. Her innate lifelong passion for critical thinking, creation, and discovery laid the foundation for her unique approach, resonating with those who seek the unconventional.
Centered around dark art and speculative fiction, including sci-fi and fantasy, The Allegorist sculpts experimental, cinematic, electronic music, visual art, and metaphorical narratives. Embracing the dualism of light and darkness, past and future, life and death, the art project adopted a holistic mindset, seeking to sail into the unknown, preserve the secret wisdom and timeless teachings, while honouring the ancient values of Earth, human responsibility, and the cycle of life. For an inclusive expression, she crafted her fictional language Mondoneoh, employing symbolism as a method of universal communication, in line with her chosen name The Allegorist, which derives from the word allegory in literature.
With a background as a painter spanning over a decade before venturing into the realm of music, the Hungarian-born, Berlin-based artist Anna Jordan is her own creative director, producer, sound designer, singer, engineer, visual artist, and live performer for her art project The Allegorist. Appreciating the significance of artistic autonomy, she works independently, self-releasing her output primarily via her own imprint Awaken Chronicles. Simultaneously she fosters a diverse collective spirit with like-minded people from all backgrounds and sectors.
Her 5th album TEKHENU (for the seekers) was self-released on the 5th May 2023 via Awaken Chronicles.
Holistic, soundscape storyteller The Allegorist takes inspiration from the ancient world for her fifth studio album, set for release on her label Awaken Chronicles. A sonic fable titled TEKHENU, it continues the trajectory that the Berlin-based electronic producer and sound-designer has been following since the beginning – conceptualising narrative-heavy LPs centered around mythical lands. Her new works depict a lost protagonist and her spiritual, inward search across ten enrapturing chapters.
As with her previous works, The Allegorist spins a poignant tale around the LP. The 10-chapter album comes with a short story, The Tale of TEKHENU, and every single will be accompanied by a cinematic trailer by Anna Jordan (The Allegorist). TEKHENU will be released both on vinyl and digitally on 05 May 2023 on The Allegorist’s label, Awaken Chronicles.
The title of the LP is a nod to the towering monoliths by the ancient Egyptians. Known to most by their Greek-given name “obelisk”, they stand tall around the world and it’s their global dispersion that inspired The Allegorist for the title of the album, seeing it as an allegory of a common bond, a point of connection.
