Come To An End

Promises of ruination

systematic structural instability is a process piece involving algorithmic digital transformation based on the frequency spectra of acoustically recorded sounds played in real time. this version for electric guitar and violin. 

Systematic Structural Instability, IV (2014) (Jeff Gburek & Karolina Ossowska))

Centred

This song comes from a collaboration between Valkiria Synth and Lestat Von Mondlicht (singer of Drop Beat Empire) that combines a much darker atmosphere with Valkiria's synthpop sounds.

The lyrics deal with a deep and important theme, such as depression and the desire to come out of darkness to positively rediscover a new day of light.

Another Day (ft. Lestat Von Mondlicht - DBE)

The night slowly surrenders (At the gates of dawn)

This is the closing track off of "Hyphae", a collection of tracks I made with fellow ambient guitarist Wodwo (Ray Robinson -- https://soundcloud.com/user-364196783-552705040). 

It all started with discovering each other’s work on Soundcloud and grew into a lively exchange of ideas and sketches. With both being on a quest to take the less obvious sonic route, always searching for the uncommon guitar sound, and their fondness for spacious and slightly unsettling ambient compositions, the sessions were kickstarted with the appropriately titled "Germ", which gestated into what became the first completed track of this long-distance collaboration between Munich and Derby. 

The title for the second track, "Hyphae" came to mind after reading Merlin Sheldrake’s fascinating “Entangled Life”. It seems apt to draw parallels between the massive mycorrhizal fungi hyphae networks (the "Wood Wide Web") that connect different species of plants and transport substances and information between them, and the to and fro of abstract layers of sonic matter that passed between the two musicians. 

The collection closes with "Simulacrum", probing the terrain where a bright major key tonality coalesces with a bit-crushed low-end undercurrent. And despite what your ears might lead you to believe, no keyboards or synths were used in any of this music! 

Hyphae is also available from Wodwo's Bandcamp page: rayrobinson.bandcamp.com/album/hyphae

Audible Frontiers Excerpt

Sounds from Lottie Sebes' Sonic Ice Sculpture, 2018.
Field recordings created on the frozen marshy landscape in Stole, Germany are amplified through a body of ice as it melts. The sculpture is presented months later back at the location where the recordings were made, linking the spring countryside back to its previous states of being. The sounds of the ice are slowed to mirror the landscape's long natural history, including cycles of frost and thaw which have continued and evolved over millennia.

Visitations I, Preview, Gburek/Ossowska

violin, bass recorder, electric guitar, live computer processing, production by "the house that thinks it's me". as invariance. the kind stabilizing entropy. numbers and alpabeta letters in phase relations. preserving to infinity unstable potential entry. wordlessness and/or musicality of this. feedback loops as overdriven determinants. the tendency of logic signs to envelope or be enveloped by a design to incorporate them. and all the opposites
