The earliest forms of music were composed using found percussion; sticks, logs, rocks and animal bones. They were also made using the voice, with language being theorised to have started as rhythmic communication, the first rule of music being rhythm. Every sound in my pieces are made using field recordings, the synth-like sounds are made using vocals looped and sometimes stacked into chords. All the percussion is made from rocks and sticks with the kick drum being a log hit into the ground. This is all done with minimal additional processing, using EQ’s, filters, reverb and delay to enhance frequencies naturally occurring within the sample. 
Recontextualising the earliest forms of instruments and music into contemporary dance music, these pieces delve into our relationship with frequencies, nature and technology, the latter being a founding idea of techno, a technological utopia. Meditative, swirling, repetitive patterns induce a hypnotic trance like state, similar to those found among world religions.

( BREAKDOWN OF HOW A TRACK IS MADE)

"Hope" in the polish dictionary is defined as "expecting something desired to come true and trusting that it will come true." The recording shows all stages of the 5 Seconds Of Summer concert. Hope on my voice postcard was captured as a process, during whose fans first looked for the performance of their favorite group, and then had fun together. At the very end, during the artist's monologue, you can hear the effect of anticipation, the fulfillment of many fans' dreams. I present the hope of thousands of people realized, and then expressed in action, and I emphasize their pure joy, resulting from it
