Retrospect 079 | Somnolent Works (@somnolent_works)

-

Józef Flakus, also known as Somnolent Works, is a producer, DJ and music explorer based in Upper Silesia. He is passionate about breakbeat/jungle rhythms, old school electro, and techno music, often with robotic and strong elements. He loves to break conventions and explore new musical directions taken from different genres of music. The gritty and atmospheric landscape of factories, mines, and steelworks of his hometown region has had a significant impact on his music, particularly in its darker and more experimental elements. Somnolent Works sound often reflects the mechanical rhythms and metallic textures of the industrial world.

He is a regular member of the CEL club in Katowice, where he can be heard playing his eclectic selections from behind the decks. His latest releases include his debut EP titled "Surface Noise" which was self-released at the end of 2021. The EP showcases his distinctive style of noisy breakbeat rhythms, while also exploring new musical directions. In late 2022, he released the "Paperclip" single on the SKAN Records (@skan-rec) compilation, which further demonstrated his ability to craft intricate and immersive soundscapes within the electro genre. On March 23rd, 2023, he released another, four-track EP, called "Elephant On Drugs" on the POTOP Records (@potoprecords) in Katowice.

In 2021, Pauza presented A Mountain Oddity, an experimental short film about the Buzludzha monument, an icon ic Bulgarian landmark forgotten shortly after its construction. A symbol of the Communist regime – nicknamed "The Saucer"–, today it divides the Bulgarian population, some of whom would like to see it disappear altogether or, ironically, take flight into the cosmos. By filming singer and performance artist Valentina Traïanova's encounter with its heritage, we question the meaning of this monument and, generally speaking, the place of ruins in our societies, especially recent ones. Ideological, religious, industrial, ancient, medieval and contemporary, they are part of our cultural landscape. Could we imagine constellations that bring them together to help us find our bearings for the future?

These three musical works were composed by three musicians from the ambient, experimental and techno electronic scene, using sounds recorded during the filming. The last sound vestiges of a monument that we wanted to see and hear before the first preservation work was undertaken by a Bulgarian foundation, they resonate today in the creations of Roman Delore, Metshka and Myles Dillon brought together in the form of this digital EP, the third musical production by Pauza association.
