Što Morava mutna teče? 
na ovoj dugoj noći, 
na ovoj mesečini jesenjoj 
Kupale se dve sestrice , na ovoj dugoj noći... 
Magdalena i Jelena, na ovoj dugoj noći... 
Magdalena prebrodila,  na ovoj dugoj noći... 
Jelena se utopila,  na ovoj dugoj noći... 

Why does the Morava River run murky? 
On this long night,
on this moon in autumn
Two sisters were bathing. 
Magdalena and Jelena. 
Magdalena endured. 
Jelena drowned.

Utrecht Trio - Slices of Subliminal Streams / Invocation To Peace

I EduAkcja – wieniec (7 września 2014) była poświęcona słuchowemu safari po Domachowie. W ramach warsztatów pod nazwą „Krajodźwięk” zostały przez młodzież „upolowane” dźwięki – te związane z uroczystością wieńca i te bardziej codzienne, choć nie zawsze oczywiste. Następnie uczestnicy warsztatów wraz z prowadzącym pracowali nad nagraniami w warunkach zaimprowizowanego studia i stworzyli taki oto eksperyment artystyczny.
W rejestracji dźwięków i realizacji nagrania uczestniczyli: Kuba Smektała, Natalia Smektała, Filip Borowczyk, Mateusz Hudziński i Jakub Andrzejczak. Grupę prowadził Antoni Beksiak.
