Solna Jama to niewielka jaskinia w masywie Czerńca, w Górach Bystrzyckich. Według źródeł, ma około 50m. Jest to wystarczająca długość, żeby potrzebować latarki do dojścia na jej koniec, ale nie dość daleko, żeby nie słyszeć śpiewających na zewnątrz ptaków. Wszedłem do jaskini i narobiłem pewnie strasznie dużo hałasu, żeby po chwili rozstawić sprzęt i spróbować przywrócić ciszę. Słychać parę razy moje wiercenie się w pobliżu mikrofonu. Poza tym jest cicho i tylko kapie woda z sufitu i śpiewają ptaki na zewnątrz. Na co dzień żyją tu w ciemności i ciszy endemiczne bezskrzydłe owady Onychiyrus paxi i ślepe skorupiaka Nimphargus puteanus.

Solna Jama ("Salt Pit") is a small cave in the Czerniec massif, in the Bystrzyckie Mountains. According to sources, it is about 50m long. This is long enough to need a flashlight to reach the end, but not far enough to not hear the birds singing outside. I entered the cave and probably made a lot of noise, so after a while I had to set up my equipment and try to restore silence. You can hear me fidgeting a few times near the microphone. Apart from that, it is quiet, with only water dripping from the ceiling and the birds outside. Endemic wingless insects Onychiyrus paxi and blind crustaceans Nimphargus puteanus live here in darkness and silence on a daily basis.

jaskinia Solna Jama / Salt Pit cave

This 30-minute ambient live set is the first sonic story from a series about encounters with water and its inhabitants. The sounds of the sea, waterfalls, mountain rivers, and frog croaks, recorded in different corners of Georgia, intertwine with synthesizers and bass — sometimes misty and enveloping, sometimes piercing. The music balances between melody and abstraction, creating an atmosphere where water cools, scares, sings, awakens, and engages in a dialogue with the surrounding world.
