(epic ballad from atlantic coast of ireland 2019)

important note:
this is not an ALBUM as such, but rather another bloque-like audio-diary and studies sharing my experiences, experiments and sonic adventures. majority of these are centered around LIVE recordings performed in my cave-studio here in eastern clare, ireland.

trk01: morningstar_lings

(starlings nests inside our roof and sing everyday, especially morning)

trk02: trip-drip_dribble (akvadrippian kwatarese)

(sequence centered around dripping on surface of water in outdoors rain-collecting-barrel captured with hydrophone and interplay of elekwatar = 4 string fret-less modified electric guitar with rvbs and echoes)

trk03: thoughts only*

("thoughts are floating in the front of my eyes as unwanted tabloids, pondering about unimportant things, speculating - dismissive of each other - contradicting each other. while listening to the sounds, the meaning of thoughts melts into interesting but inconsequential river of possibilities", free translation from kwatarese by MollyVienka Harrison. featuring mixed_in evolved sequence of kwiboys playing while hearing voices from sport competition running along our house in summer 2019 and recordings of insects from brazilian amazon)

trk04-09: it's raining pt1-6 (raindrops in between bubbles)

(rain seems constant theme and reality here in eastern clare, especially very present when i am attempting to tune in surrounding environment while playing with and listening via microphones eavesdropping outside of my window. the slow is "new" fast: trying to listen every singular drop, time suddenly expands and there is space to dance in between each of those drops. the elasticity of perception of time is remarkable.
all sequences were played live, some recorded memories from lacandon jungle in mexico and underwater sounds of crustaceans from tasmania were mixed in to observe interconnectedness phenomena and some parts were slightly evolved)

*MollyVienka Harrison's
poem:

only a thoughts
just a thoughts ...
floating
across
universes of
my eyes
inner impulses
in the light
of suns
imploding within
now and
then,
sometimes ...
felt
distant
tremors of
partying
amphibians.
