Pruski - Sleeping Places (2018)

We are witnesses of constant change. Places change, people around us change, we change. Most of these changes are fluid. Unwittingly, every second we become someone new. We become blurred in time. One hair fell out. After 140 thousand repetitions we are bald. Cities, nations, ideas disappear - the natural passage of time. The steady stream of changes flows through us as well. Our internal life constantly clashes with the outside world. Memories encoded in our neurons begin to direct us towards emptiness. The places to which they refer ceased to exist - they fell asleep.

Sleeping Places the debut album of Paweł Pruski. Formerly known as Minoo, in this new endeavor he takes his listeners on a trip through the worlds of ambient and experimental electronics. The leading part of the album are synthetic sounds combined with processed field recordings. Conceptually the album is not an attempt to create a musical illustration of any place in particular. It is an interpretation of what is left only in memory, what is no longer a part of our reality. It is the end resultant of combining subjective memories, fragments that survived in the form of sounds.
