about

This album contains first six unnamed pieces from an open series of exploratory pieces. Matej Sloboda composed these from 2019 - 2021 with various intentions and needs in my mind.

What you can expect, is a sonic sensation-oriented slowly progressing pieces, where you have enough time to dive deep into every small wave created by interactions of instruments and harmonic canvas - a concept of sustained, stable sound upon which other more complex processes are being produced.

"... Much in the tradition of Tenney and Nono, Matej Sloboda dedicated many of his ‘Untitled’ pieces to a diverse range of pioneers in the field of static music: Alvin Lucier, James Tenney, György Ligeti, and Phill Niblock. Furthermore, he even points to mediaeval ars antiqua music with the subtitle of his piece #6: Hoquetus.

But Sloboda has one element that is different from most of his predecessors: the harmonic canvas. This is a drone that can be performed on sine waves or ebow pianos and gives the performers a tonal ‘canvas’ to relate to and interact with. Sonically some of his pieces explore microtonal beatings and others use just intonation concepts. But in general, these pieces are about slow processes and wonderful haunting, immersive soundscapes, which invite a contemplative "deep listening" and "sonic awareness”—as Pauline Oliveros has put it."
