my small boat is full of wind and gentle light
white seabirds bring me feathers for the sails
my vessel is full of soil and salty tears
motley titmice take my hear for their nests

Sunset Wings – Lifetime As A Child At Play
Label: Wrotycz Records – WRT020
Format: CD, Album
Country:Poland
Released:29 Nov 2014
Style:Folk
We walk through our lives likening ourselves to Janus of Romans… We tend to look forward and continually open new doors, even though all the while it is our past that makes our future, our memories act like shining stepping stones on this rainbow bridge of life. The brightest ones lead us back to the most marvellous of times, our childhood, to the world of our innocence and dreams, of rapture and sweet tears, to our inception…
This album is a look deep inside through a chink in this magical door. It’s an attempt to pass this distant light through the prism of our present, and with that to see again those blazing shapes and transform them into a spectrum of variegated butterflies – letting them be strewn with neo-classical pieces, gentle songs, echoes of children voices – recollected images are nebulous but the colours stay invariably vivid. By plunging into these ethereal sounds it is hoped that you’ll find your own flitting blue moth emerging from your orchard far away from the present here and now…
Bionulor – Sacred Mushroom Chant
Label: Wrotycz Records
Format: CD, Album
Country: Poland
Released: 07 Jan 2011
Style: Experimental, Ambient
Created on the basis of author’s creative method called the “100% sound recycling” (treatment of the human voice without additional sounds or instruments).
Inspired by the work of such artists as Aube and William Basinski, Bionulor again rakes the past, looking like an alchemist for the most appropriate material for his work. “Sacred Mushroom Chant” is a record created solely on the basis of treatment of the human voice without additional sounds or instruments.
Each of the five tracks is based on a separate part of the sound source. Then the base is: an archival record of shamanic chant associated with the ceremony of taking hallucinogenic mushrooms, a Japanese traditional song extracted from a collection of old vinyl records, Neil Armstrong’s walking on the lunar surface famous phrase, a fragment of an interview with Marcel Duchamp telling about his first ready-made, and finally the voice of the artist himself denouncing the sentence attributed to Hassan ibn Sabbah (“Nothing is true”).
Over 50 minutes of pure experimental music (mix of minimal, ambient and even noisy sounds) created on the basis of author’s creative method called the “100% sound recycling.” You will be really impressed when you realize that those tracks were crafted only with scraps of samples.
Cover art by Monika Machnik, mastered by Peter Andersson. Comes in 4-panel digipack.
