About the album: Bathyscaphe
“Bathyscaphe” is a musical and psychological journey through underwater and near-water distant spaces. The 8 compositions that make up the album are divided into:
– Purely electronic: “Bathyscaphe”, “Abbys” and “Vortex”
– Electronic with concrete sounds: „Bronchi”, „Amphibians”, „Icebreaker”
– Electronic with instrumental recordings: „Inflow” and “Tunnel (Trumpet and piccolo trumpet : Grzegorz Cioczek)”
Each of the works takes the listener to a quasi-cinematic reality where, in a specific atmosphere, the sense of time slowly fades and the color and shape of the sound gains delicate dominance over the narrative. Electronic sounds are made with the Wavetable synthesis, concrete sounds consist of frog, asthma attack and ice recordings, and instruments used in the album are classical guitar, trumpet and piccolo trumpet (performed by Grzegorz Cioczek).
