 This CD is the result of a project in which musicians and sound artists were asked to create a sound piece based upon and inspired by the field recordings made in Warsaw, Poland. The collected tracks may be viewed as a sound guide to Warsaw, reflecting the artists' interpretation of the Warsaw soundscape and presenting their sonic visions of the city.
The basis for all the tracks were the recordings from places located all over Warsaw and the artists were free to process them in any way they wished.
Additionally, the tracks could be enriched with recordings of acoustic instruments so that the field recordings were not only the sound material, but also an inspiration.
The artists who took part in this project are associated with the Warsaw Electronic Festival.

Noiko - Stary Żoliborz

NOIKO - “HONEY” | ETA-CD 018

Noiko - “Honey” is a debut album with ten instrumental electroacoustic lo-fi compositions created from various samples, sounds of a clarinet, guitar, drums, glockenspiel, piano and different electronic virtual instruments. The material consists of productions created within 4 years. The author recorded most of the sounds in his own house. Some productions were recorded with the help of Łukasz Maciejewski (turntable).

The inspiration to creating this kind of sounds was the birth of the artist's daughter, who was usually nearby during the sound recording.
This album was carefully mastered by Krzysztof Orluk with his analogue equipment. One of them is the prototype tube saturator constructed by Andrzej Starzyk, a Polish engineer and designer of the recording studio gear. All analogue machines used during mastering process gave the album a unique warmth and unusual dynamics. Both of the above mentioned features are desirable especially nowadays in the century of the electronic music distribution.

Noiko - Honey to debiutancki album zawierający dziesięć instrumentalnych lo-fi kolaży utkanych z licznych sampli, dźwięków klarnetu, gitary, perkusjonaliów, cymbałków, pianina oraz przeróżnych elektronicznych wirtualnych instrumentów. Materiał składa się z utworów powstałych na przestrzeni 4 lat. Większość dźwięków autor nagrał we własnym mieszkaniu, a sporadyczne partie poza nim. W kilku utworach wystąpił Łukasz Maciejewski, który obsługuje gramofon.
Inspiracją do tworzenia tego typu dźwięków były narodziny córki artysty, która podczas nagrań
najczęściej znajdowała się nieopodal.
Album NOIKO został zmasterowany przez Krzysztofa Orluka przy użyciu różnego rodzaju sprzętu analogowego. Warto wspomnieć o prototypowym lampowym urządzeniu nasycania dźwięku, które zostało zbudowane przez Andrzeja Starzyka, twórcę studyjnego Looptrotter Monster Compressor. Dzięki procesowi zostosowanemu podczas masteringu płyta nabrała niezwykłego analogowego ciepła i dawno niesłyszanej dynamiki. Właśnie te cechy wyróżniają album “HONEY”, szczególnie dziś gdy pogoń za głośnością produkcji muzycznych stała się podstawową wartością dla wielu artystów.
