experimental dub techno
Mastered by the same label which mastered Skalpel, Hexstatic. W gęstej otulinie nieumytego brzmienia low-fidelity ponownie rozkoszuję się dźwiękami sonicznie niedalekiego kuzyna Ursuli Bogner - Artura Śleziaka. Magnetofon podświetla kasetę konstruując erotyczny efekt. Sięgam rękoma po zrodzone z zamiłowania minimalem, wywijające wraz z dubem laboratoryjne eksperymenty. Głowa Villalobosa po transplantacji czarnej skóry zanurzona w formalinie. Głowa do wycierania śladów palców z szyb miejskiej dżungli.
Duy Gebord - Kelp

guitar, glitch, avant-garde
Another connection can then be made to Kelp, which continues the watery theme. Duy Gebord’s work isn’t typical ocean or beach fare; it’s thick and troubled, cluttered with sonic debris. Listening is a lot like swimming through kelp. Tendrils constrict the arms and legs. Panic ensues. The pretty cover hides the fact that the work “echoes a story of an imaginary sea garbage patch (that) travels through cold seeps, encounters ghost snails and green anemones (and) mixes kelps with magnetic tape”. The artist’s lovely description is matched by intricate sonics. “Suncup” offers cars, conversation and carnivorous electronics, while “Diopside” is nearly industrial, filled with peeps and clanks. Water floods the far side of the song, submerging small surges of melody.
More sea and brine continues to enter throughout the cassette, until the entire tape is waterlogged. Little noises float on this sonic ocean: meows, cymbal taps, flips and ejections of the cassette itself. A richness of sound is crushed into a floating entity, reflecting its subject matter. We begin to cheer for this mass of garbage as it continues its journey. The only irony is that the collection makes one eager to make more garbage, not less, and to throw it into the sea. That’s the power of a great recording: it leads one to unexpected thoughts and desires. As for the tape itself, as well as the Nienartowicz / Wolski split: no one is going to toss these. They are buoys on a turbulent sea. (Richard Allen)

electroacoustic
Taśma „Luty” to dwie dwudziestominutowe improwizacje na syntezator modularny, gitarę, perkusjonalia i obiekty. Bartek Kalinka i Wojciech Kwapisiński proponują nam muzykę pełną subtelnych rozstrojeń i efemerycznych zdarzeń dźwiękowych, powoli oscylujących między wyciszeniem a intensywnością.
