about

“Quite a fine album, this one. Intense most of the times, not entirely aiming to please, but all the more reason, I would think, to lend this man your ear.” (Frans de Waard - Vital Weekly)”

"Volksmusik" is a début full length release from Wegrzyn.

Three short piano loops processed, edited and arranged into three lengthy ambient pieces. There was no other sound material used during the making of this album but those three loops.

Recorded and mixed in one week, ‘Volksmusik’ was inspired by a rather sad event in artist’s life. Eventually sadness gave way to a bunch of other feelings. Most of them very positive and uplifting. And those feelings combined with childhood memories of a number of summers spent in a beautiful place in the countryside with the most loving people, became the foundation of what would be released as ‘Volksmusik’.

Those people are no longer there. The place had changed almost beyond recognition.

Recording took place a long way from the landscapes and imagery that inspired the music. But still.. in a countryside.
Very different though.

The artist limited himself to the use of piano sounds only
which helped him to stay focused on the possibilities of manipulating that sound.
Through heavy audio processing a simple chord or even a single note would lead him to discovery of some interesting soundscapes and spaces. On the other hand, a rather short time spent on developing the pieces, made the initial feeling of nostalgia present throughout the record.

Lukasz Wegrzyn was born in 1979 in Poland. As a teenager he featured in a number of guitar oriented indie/rock/noise bands. In 2009 Wegrzyn started making music on his own as slept.. Strongly influenced by all sorts of images and sounds he now happily records under his own name.

Bokeh
by Wil Bolton

supported by 15 fans who also own “Volksmusik”

In Bokeh, Wil Bolton patiently crafted six tracks, where processed field recordings and reverberated synthesizers melodies are carefully balanced. Chimes, bar-like talks, distant traffic or whispers from the wind frame the story of this release in a very small location. We are only one step away from saying that the artist takes us in his privacy with Bokeh ; and I'll go for it. Very personal and sensitive, this album takes place behind the closed doors of Bolton's near environment. Lovely. Dotflac
