Aqua Radio

New album "Aqua Radio" released by beautiful label "LOM" from Slovakia. The material was recorded 4 years ago, when I started to "toy" with diy underwater microphones. And, after several alpha models, I came with something more or less useful. A pair of piezos, round box from "Nivea" cream, plastidip - not so expensive elements of construction... It worked quite well, but I haven't managed to reach a sufficient level of durability, so after a pair of repairs I throwed it into trash. Anyway, the records persist and here is it. Underwater bugs singing, bubbling photosynthesis, movement of flora presented here in unprocessed way. CD or download.

Persistent listening

3 Mounds: Re-Play on Echomusic Label

“The signs on the old stone Are silent But the music of the barrows Is still heard.” (P. Panavas, poet from Utena) 3 Mounds: Re-play was recorded live in the studio, in the May 2014, using sound material (collected in April 2012) from the areas of the ancient places – mounds, which are located around Utena town. However, this is not a mapping of particular place or some kind of acoustic document. The album is free interpretation of a short time-space moment, reconstruction of details, conjuration of then and now.
