LLYN Y CWN 'Du Y Moroedd' CD (CSR302CD)

"Du Y Moroedd" (Welsh - the black of the sea) is an album of abyssal dark ambient - environmental soundscapes and atmospheres from above, below and beside the ocean; field recordings made onboard vessels at sea; sounds from submerged recording devices deep underwater; recordings from the coasts of North Wales to Greenland and the Arctic Ocean. 

"The tracks were created onboard the RV Prince Madog whilst conducting research using multibeam sonar to locate, survey and identify shipwrecks from WW1. The multibeam sonar creates images of the seabed using acoustic reflections. It is quite an experience to watch the sonar reveal an unsurveyed wreck and be the first person to "see" the ship for over 100 years; the vessel sitting at the bottom of the ocean waiting in the dark to be discovered. 

Research into the history of each wreck uncovers stories of boats torn in half by torpedoes and mines, U- boats hunted by destroyers and pummelled with depth charges. Many of these sites aren't just wrecks; they are mass war graves. The vital shipping channel to Liverpool passes the North Wales coast, the U boats would sit and wait; listening. When heard from under the water, each ship has its own unique acoustic signature based on the size of the engine, shape of the propeller, curve of the hull, these acoustic tell-tales were used by the U-boats to identify targets. The shipping lane became a shooting gallery of easy pickings and the submarines were able to slip away undetected into the black of the sea. 

The album features recordings from the hull of RRS James Clark Ross whilst ploughing through ice fields off Greenland, from a "sound trap" attached to an anchor as it descended through 80m of water to the seabed, and sounds from onboard the RV Prince Madog with its pitched engine drone. There is also a recording of the bell at Trwyn Du lighthouse, Anglesey, that was made in August 2020, days before the bell was removed to be replaced with a modern fog horn - prior to this, the bell had rung every 30 seconds since 1922" (Benjamin Ian Powell).

LLYN Y CWN Trwyn Du

When I met the music of this musician! THEN I realized that his thinking is not standard, he sees the world with a different look from a different angle!
I am very pleased to work with such people! In his music there is a whole range of feelings from sadness to sadness to joy and love!

Laying out work that has been widely garnered from a long soft chain of a long-awaited path with a different spatial dimension than before.The repetition expanded and went slightly further as the waves slowly covered in forms of collaborating. Dulcet voices threaten to disintegrate the pieces into upheaval and transmitt into the dynamic participation of mellifluous strims.

Format: CD, Digital

"Oblio" (italian for "oblivion") is a collection of 7 tracks, of which one doesn’t exist. The album is a short
study on abandonment, sweetness and melancholy associated with the progressive disintegration of
memory, the loss and irreversible modification of the mind: an album about the sense of the end of
things, up to the fulfillment of oblivion. Symbolically therefore the last track (the titletrack) is an empty
space, it's missing as if it never existed, or as if it was composed in the past who knows by whom ... but
forgotten.
"Oblio" is based on classical piano music loops (Ravel, Debussy, Bartok), taken, internalized, reimagined
and made "other", in an attempt to forget them: an almost Zen testbed for the abandonment of the self.

Music project created by Olga Anna Markowska and Wojciech Wilk.
The sound created by the duo comes from harmonies of an antic zither and cello accompanied by the drone phrases made with the analog synthesiser LYRA-8.
The extensive sound landscapes evolved from nostalgic harmonies, memories of places, the existence of which are vague and uncertain.

teufelsberg (pl)
Projekt muzyczny Olgi Anny Markowskiej i Wojciecha Wilka.
Brzmienie duetu opiera się na połączeniu melodii wykonywanych na cytrze i wiolonczeli z dronowymi frazami tworzonymi na analogowym syntezatorze organizmicznym LYRA-8.
Rozległe pejzaże dźwiękowe bazujące na nostalgicznych harmoniach, wspomnienia z miejsc których istnienia nikt nie jest pewien.
