digital album released by Mille Plateaux
2020
20 abstract yet evocative miniatures of sustained sound. Influenced by Baudrillard’s notion of the end of music, it raises the question how music relates to sound in the digital age. As the separation between sound and music gets impossible, perhaps music itself dissolves in the perfection of its materiality, in sound.

2020
Four pieces that share a common compositional process exponentiating the discrepancies between sacred and pop music from four different perspectives. Both of these unique forms of music encompass their own excesses and subtleties into smooth lines in radical contrast with each other. Demonstrations presents a finely tuned focus on profoundly different yet eerily similar aesthetics.

The album Symposium Musicum is developed from field recordings, interviews, and observations collected in the villages of Podolínec, Lomnička, Levočské Vrchy, and Kolačkov – all areas of the eastern and north-eastern Slovakia with significant Romani enclaves. The pieces resulting from these interactions encourage the listener to tune in for a delicate negotiation of language, (audible) gesture, and storytelling.
