I always draw my inspiration from the narratives and metaphors of a variety of impacts from different locations and situations.
These are often quite unique experiences within a certain period of time, landscape or corner of society.
Last year during several trips, I did many different recordings in East Europa. During my research on land, I found special places with particular energies. For example : unpredictable movements, defective technology, misplaced animals, dis-punctuality, unforeseen natural sound effects or other cataclysms of nature and unforeseen cataclysms in Humans.
The idea of this release is a deep construction, cut up, manipulation and deconstruction on many layer of these recordings, decontextualized from their origin, creating an absurd and surreal landscape in codex.
The technical part is done with field recordings on tape-recorders mixed, converted on digital software for mastering.
