drone2805 With its mixture of natural sounds and human artifacts, the artist leaves us a dark but very beautiful work with dazzling clinkings accompanied by serious drones. Listening brings me to a paradoxical terrain, while my comfort zone is assured by human landmarks, and my fear of seeing this beautiful nature crumble in these same landmarks destabilizes me. Nature or humanity? Both, with this album. But we will have to choose ... Favorite track: Klaipėda - Part2.

about

Klaipėda is located in the west of Lithuania, right on the shores of the Baltic Sea. I lived there from September 2011 until July 2012 and during those months I was regularly recording in the city and the surrounding rural areas. I got very fond of these locations and all the sounds I recorded are very significant and dear in my memory. Throughout the changes of the seasons, varying between human-made and industrial to “natural” sounds caused by birds, water, wind or plants, the acoustic environment never ceased to inspire me.
Klaipėda offered an amazing diversity of sonic material, from echoing train whistles, factory machines’ drones and hammering sounds, to the far hiss sound of the sea, the thumps of thunders and the rustling of the leaves on the trees. The album, however, is not a documentation of Klaipėda’s soundscape nor does it intend to realistically reconstruct my acoustic experiences. As a two part composition, it aims to engage the listener with a profound sonic world in which each one can connect with its own memories and create new subconscious thoughts.
