Waiting
Loosing
Feeling frail Closing 
every sight
Every Eye
In a city of Dismals

Oh Great! And the Dreadful!

Standing Praying
In its nest
Trembling through the night With a cry
Holding every Breath
Every sigh

Waiting
Loosing
Feeling frail Closing every sight Every Eye
In a city of Dismals

What shall we Do? 
Where shall we Go?
Have Mercy upon us

Standing Praying
In its nest
Trembling through the night
With a cry
Holding every Breath
Every sigh
Of Dismals

In the midst of Distemper 
We will find a new center

Excerpt from the sound design ambient for Nana Wolke's solo exhibition "4:28 - 5:28 am" in Vin Vin Gallery in Vienna, Austria.

“[…] Cinematic jump cuts offer windows into events hard to grasp: a lover’s quarrel or a lover’s embrace. Props play only to confuse further: masks, wigs, and hunting lights disorient. A musical backdrop inspired by TV channels aired between 4:28 and 5:28 AM, produced in collaboration with Gašper Torkar, plays softly. A banner at the entrance borrows typography from the hotel’s. Losing touch with what is real and what is mere construct, the viewer is transported into a space where fiction reigns. Fabricated and sequential, these narratives reveal the shame of both seeing and being seen as the viewer is made into a trespasser and becomes an unwilling, yet curious, participant in the act of voyeurism. […]”

Simone Movio, "Incanto XXX" (2024)

"To step into someone’s dreamscape is to step into their intimate world, a place one should enter by invitation only. And it is exactly that which creates the appeal, it piques our interest and draws us into Torkar’s corridor of mystery, stepping through the gateway he just opened for us (Passage). The barely audible breath of the dreamer (I Dream of Others) voices a sharp, repetitive warning cautioning us against the unknown – and it must be ignored if we are to continue down the rabbit-hole, beyond the ominous deed (Impersonal Again), all the way into the depths of the club underground, where the tightening of the jaws and the grinding of the teeth (Bruxism) segues into the surprisingly supple but slow minimal sounds. The old-school, yet original synth sounds lure us into the vaulted corridor, conjuring up a neon reflection of the fantastic film noir (Rib Vaulting). We rise up from this deep swamp, following a persistent, growing rhythm, leading us forward in the hopes that this dark, visceral journey will ultimately lead us back into the light."
