There Is Silence

SEIZURES - Framed

Death By Design

Thanks, Tobias & Marc, for this fun assignment!

My process in a nutshell: Using two instances of Ableton's Sampler loaded with my guitar recordings, I sequenced the provided "John Cage" chord, using the first version of Marc's MIDI file, so it's actually the wrong Cage chord --- hence the title "noncage". 
With some pushing around of this source material, a slow-morphing, overlapping atmospheric track fell into place. 
To top it all off, I just flipped the whole thing, turning it into a lovely background echoey backwards guitar concoction. 
So as to make things more listenable, I provided a little bit of supplementary fodder and smoothed out some of the rougher edges in Cubase.

Enjoy!

Cats of Dust "Sabazjos"

I would like to start this year with this album.

I have been making music alone for almost 20 years now. I would like to thank everyone who has ever purchased or listened to my music, my subscribers, my collaborators, everyone who has criticized as well as praised me, the equipment and electricity I have used to make music, my room, my time, my friends, my family, everything. Thank you so much.

As a token of my appreciation, I would like to release this album for free. Please enjoy it.

I have only one request. For once, for about 40 minutes listening to this album, please do nothing and think about nothing and just be in a daze. We are too busy. We need time to intentionally give our heads and hearts a rest. Once you get into that habit, you will inevitably feel yourself becoming energized again.

I wish you all a very happy new year.

PL:

Wiersz Bolesława Leśmiana, który stanowił inspirację dla tego wydawnictwa towarzyszył mi przez kilka miesięcy stając się punktem wyjścia dla stworzenia muzyki mogącej stanowić soundtrack dla podróży przez bór, który opuszcza dziwaczne zwierzę powołane do życia przez poetę, jak również dźwiękową interpretację uczuć znajomych współczesnemu człowiekowi: chaosu, bezradności, prób zrozumienia otaczającej rzeczywistości - niezwykle złożonej i dynamicznie się zmieniającej - i odnalezienia się w niej na wielu płaszczyznach.

Od strony muzycznej wszystkie utwory powstały na drodze eksperymentu i improwizacji z użyciem cyfrowego, analogowego i akustycznego instrumentarium.

EN:

The poem by Bolesław Leśmian, which inspired this album, accompanied me for several months, becoming the starting point for creating music that could become a soundtrack for traveling through the forest, which is being left behind by the bizarre animal brought to life by the poet, as well as a sound interpretation of the feelings familiar to modern people: chaos , helplessness, attempts of understanding the surrounding reality - extremely complex and dynamically changing - and finding our place in it in many aspects.

On the strictly musical side, all tracks were created through experimentation and improvisation using digital, analog and acoustic instruments.
