Vocalist and sound artist using the voice as a primary instrument and sound building block. She is interested in alternative forms of voice use, extended vocal techniques, folk and eastern culture, and especially their influence on vocal practices and deep forms of sound processing and synthesis. Graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Scholarship holder of the Indonesian Ministry of Culture in musicology. Student of Hindustani classical music under the tutelage of vocalist Shashwati Mandal. She is a co-founder of the multidisciplinary group WIDT and the music duo Mentos Gulgendo. Last year saw the release of her solo album “Lamunan,” recorded for voice and its echoes resonating in the Modlin Fortress tunnel as a result of many hours spent practicing vocals in Javanese caves. “Lamunan” was very warmly received by critics, making it to the list of the 100 best albums of 2020 compiled by the British portal Quietus, among others. A follow-up of sorts, the album was released this year with vocal sketches recorded in deserted provincial churches in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico.

About Us
Running since 2018, this initiative is dedicated to theories and practices of experimental music focused on concepts of spatialising sound compositions created for multi-channel sound reinforcement. It combines the idea of presenting new music projects with enabling artists to develop the spatial aspects of sound composition and creating a platform for collaboration between young musicians, composers and sound artists.
This service is a streaming platform for listening to spatialised tracks by artists invited to participate in our events. Each track is available in two versions – binaural and multichannel. The binaural version best captures the effects of surround sound in headphone listening, but will also listen well on regular stereo speakers (2 speakers). The multi-channel version is designed for surround systems, commonly known as home cinema, – that is, 5.1 and 7.1 speaker systems, as well as soundbars.

Soundwalks
A series of audio walks created on an augmented reality (XR) platform, designed to be experienced independently with a smartphone and headphones (you can also listen on a speaker, but it’s best to avoid excessive noise in the places we invite you to). To take the walk, install the Echoes app on your smartphone, then click the link for the chosen walk and press “STREAM WALK.”

Irrigation Fields
Katarzyna Roj invited us to the Irrigation Fields in 2021. As part of the preparations for the exhibition, the ŚWIT radio play was created. In 2022, we began continuous listening to the audiosphere of irrigation fields and examining the impact on the natural environment of noise pollution from the nearby fields of the Wrocław Motorway Bypass, the S5 expressway, Szymanów airport, and railway lines. We present a selection of automatic field recordings conducted 24/7 throughout the calendar year 2022.
