Black Rain by Krzysztof Kotlinski

"Black Rain" was being created during the period 2008 to 2015, and it was a time of breakthrough in Krzysiek's musical career. This album is a record of the dark dream of an adolescent child, in which his desires and dreams mix, sadness and joy combine, including fear, and a vision of the world created by his imagination. It is also an attempt to capture all these scraps of emotions, and to recall the moments that were forever stuck in the subconsciousness. The jagged sounds of instruments, clicks and noises, distorted soundscapes and deep spaces included on the album symbolize these fragments, already blurred by the time, barely discernible at times, but still returning in many different forms.

Krzysztof Kotlinski is an artist creating music under several pseudonyms and presenting completely different musical styles. He was associated mainly with club music for many years, but in his heart there were always unusual sounds hidden. The desire to search for new musical solutions and experiments resulted in the creation of a project where he explores music from the border of ambient and postclassical presenting a large dose of emotional vibes which is the foundation of his every production. In his work he uses recordings from fields, recordings of acoustic and electronic instruments – mainly of the piano and a modular synthesizer by means of which he then creates unique, sometimes surprising rhythmic and melodic combinations. His main inspiration to start this project is contemplation on life and death, and the search for the answer to the question "who are we and what are we doing here?". Kotlinski's music is deep and emotionally intense, it will not leave the listener indifferent after listening to it and will definitely give a lot of food for thought.
