A Soul Not All of Wood

October 2019

Multikulti Records, PL

The forest longs for silence. This is its deep spiritual need, interrupted by the wind’s humming, bird song, insect bites and racing animals. When entering such space remember to nurture within you this noble prohibition: I forbid you to produce sound! There are no sounds on this record, only the pure consequence of being in the forest. Any sonic articulation is a violent act against silence. Any movement is heresy and any step means devastation of the green shrine which wants to exist forever. One can only say: “I am sorry, Forest. Forgive me.”

H.D.Thoreau lived in this world covered by trees. Let us praise him for all the thoughts that he put on paper - also from the forest- because those thoughts now return via this record, as an echo of what was a green wave, an outburst of freshness and concluding in the grandest of fade outs.
