about

///Due to bandcamp file size limitations, this recording is split in two. If you want to have it in one piece e-mail me.///

I made this album by recording three different 10 km runs along the same route in Velenje. I was catching the sounds of the surroundings, the breathing, and the rhythm of the running that was happening. At some points, I have also improvised with breathing while running and playing with the sound of the breath.

I have added the running sound atmospheric sounds. The concept was simple. Slow shifts in tone separately in the right and left channels, where I used the YamahaYPT-210 and the Korg MS20 mini. I used two smaller synthesizers Bastl Kastland Korg volca keys to creating the noise. Sound of MS 20 mini, YPT-210 and KastlI have also manipulated with the guitar effects electro-harmonics’ Freeze,tc electronics’ Hall of fame 2, Boss’s Metal zone MT2, EarthQuaker devices’ Avalanche run and mwfx' Judder.

The album is a symbolic representation of the internal and external happening during the run and jokingly ecological, as it encourages separate waste collection. Before running, I really dumped mixed, biological and glass waste separately. In a way, running is an internal cleansing for me, and it clears my mind. It allows me to, among other things, to reflect on the concepts and approaches of my musical creation.

Thanks for the ear and attention. I will be thankful for every response, sharing, and review of the album.
