LOUFR is a solo project by the Polish composer Piotr Bednarczyk. His work focuses on intermedial chamber and electronic music. In his sonic endeavors, he explores the spaces of sound design, seeking sounds and structures characterized by a subjective, strong physical, and emotional impact. The non-musical content woven into his compositions revolves around global changes inevitably leading to the collapse of the world.


FEARS is the third album by Piotr Bednarczyk under the pseudonym LOUFR. The compositions of the Polish artist have resonated in numerous concert halls across Europe, and this time his work finds its home in Pointless Geometry, a label showcasing the most intriguing domestic electronic music.

LOUFR occupies an exceptionally stable position between contemporary music, hyperpop, and deconstructed club sounds. FEARS is a melancholic album, distinctly human despite the high degree of vocal processing and electronic instrumentation. This contrast is palpable from the very beginning, as emotional vocals collide with an almost trap-like beat. The album is not devoid of moments of true beauty, as evident in "269," a track built around a catchy, sung phrase. The title of this composition serves as a kind of manifesto, referencing the number of a calf rescued from a dairy farm by activists.

FEARS explores the extremes of sonic spectrums, juxtaposing delicate piano strikes with industrial noise and string instruments with a creaking synthesizer. Whether shrouded in electronics or warmed by organic instrumentation, all layers resonate with each other in an incredible, engaging harmony.

FEARS is a unique auditory experience—sharp, unconventional, and avant-garde in some places, while warm, inviting, and familiar in others. Bednarczyk's voice carries this paradox, emotional yet bathed in mechanical processing. The music of the Polish artist resonates with the disintegration of the world but does not relinquish hope. If it is to assist us in anything, it is in navigating through difficult emotions. And FEARS accomplishes this with finesse.

LOUFR - 269  / POINT#55

Following the release of their joint EP, 'Accela', on Hyperdub, the Uruguay-born, Ireland-based producer Lila Tirando a Violeta teams up once again with Berlin’s Sin Maldita for a special back-to-back mix.

Here, they showcase their versatility as artists, diving into their SoundCloud likes for a joyride through different moods. The first half is built for the dancefloor; the beginning drenched in the drama and soft urgency of a dopamine-soaring trance cut. The second half features the sublime sonics of Lee Gamble and sparkling, romantic ambience layered with dialogue from James Mangold’s 'Walk the Line'. A perfect, post-Valentine's mood.
