The album is a part of the ongoing "Biosignatures" series of compositions and performances exploring sonic boundaries or interconnections between human-made soundscapes and receding or adapting nature within the climate crisis context. Field recordings collected along the banks and bridges of Wisła river in Warsaw, including utilizing electromagnetic or seismographic sensors and hydrophones, serve as the foundation for this performance. It spans from presentation of modestly altered recordings to highly processed audio or data-driven sound synthesis and everything in between. From far-away urban soundscapes to micro-sounds produced by flowing water, from ice and vegetation to birds, amphibians, and insects, all the way up to electromagnetic noise of city infrastructure and heavy bridge resonances.
The project was carried out under the artistic scholarship of city of Warsaw.
Paweł Kulczyński is both a musician and sound artist who specializes in creating sound installations, building instruments, and working with field recordings. He employs multichannel sound synthesis, projection, and composing strategies in his work and is particularly interested in the social and spatial contexts of music, the phenomenology of the audiosphere, acoustics, random events, and conceptualism. Recently, his compositions have featured motifs of mass extinction and planetary mourning. He has performed at prominent festivals in Europe and overseas, including CTM Berlin, Unsound in Kraków, New York, Toronto, and Bishkek, as well as Primavera Sound and recently at Gwangju Biennale.

A recording that touches something ancient in us and brings a shift to places not yet discovered. It's hard to describe in any sensible way something that definitely mixes the spirit of Palestrina with the legacy of minimalism, reductionism and improvisation, although that's not really important here. A deeply emotional thing that doesn't talk about humanity, but speaks directly to it. jiristepan

This is the last thing the caterpillar hears after the final thread of the cocoon is woven into place when everything except the soul is dissolved, a time before butterfly wings... gobbaloon
