The title refers to the proximity of the story's narrator to the subject he is describing, but also to the distance between all of us, especially at this time of uncertainty and social isolation. Not unlike T. S. Eliot in his iconic “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, Salwowski depicts a world clouded in solitude and captures the current state of mankind: not only isolated within its own consciousness, but also trying to cope with the devastating effect of industrial civilization on the human spirit.

On “Distance”, Arkadiusz Salwowski, who has already published several ambient works under his name and as Amertume, ventures beyond his usual sonic zone by adding many electroacoustic elements, which significantly enrich his already impressive oeuvre.

“When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.”

All the tracks were composed and performed by me. I'm playing bass, guitar and synthesizers. I record at my home studio Mud Factory.
