Ariadne's Thread

by Karolina Ossowska & Jeff Gburek

supported by

adammajdeckijanicki A brilliant meditative album, beautifully played and recorded. Love the interplay here. A stellar adventure. Favorite track: arachne-dea (the spider's thread).

Rudy Carrera The album has four compositions which are about as gentle and pleasing as anything I’ve heard in the past few years. It’s farther out than, say, Kosmische Musik, yet elegantly restrained. This is music for taking an inner journey and finding what terrain lies inside of yourself. Favorite track: beacons of the blood (cri du sang).

George Cristian Vilela Pereira Here's a journey to the center of your mind... but in a cosmic archeology of sounds that comes from very engaging musicians. One of the best meeting between violin and synthesizers you may find...! Favorite track: cetacean audiology.

about

This is our Ariadne's Thread. Taken as metaphor for a trace, a trail, a mnemonic trick, a memory palace. I set out to let the sound of the violin play the role of the thread in the matrix (maze, the labyrinth of the synthesizer). I take the lead in following. I follow the lead by listening. The relation is fluid, morphean. You will have your own take on it all.
Enjoy the soulful playing of Karolina Ossowska on violin.
Seeing the thread metaphorically or symbolically, archetypally, I've articulated through the titles various imaginary realms of mapping.
ουρανογραφια: sky maps, heaven-ward and or celestial cartography -- connecting drifting photonic clusters of autonomous elementals in relation to one another in the course of one's life, finding one's self -- a miracle thread from ariadne -- the mother of the mother of god -- coil'd in the genome-- a miracle thread from ariadnean arachne spider-lady in the labyrinth -- a echolocating land mammal re-writing it's destiny by evolving into the oceans and sounding submarinely -- our themes... you may develop or evolve your own while listening thanks! -- JG

C’est pour moi un bel objet sonore/album, c'est exactement les sons que je ne sais pas faire. C'est génial d'écouter ce que les autres se permettent de faire. Cela me pousse dans mes recherches. Et puis le travail de sons saturés est fin et précis et évoque en moi une imagination très sauvage et étrange. Merci pour votre beau travail. castormorseflw
