"This album is a musical story I composed at the beginning of December, when we got a lot of snow. I was looking out of the window at the frozen landscape and reading poems by my friend Valery Kupka. I decided to set these evening moments to music and read the poems in two languages. Slovak and English together with my daughter Barbara. Each language has its own melody and dynamics. On the album there is also a piece by Ryuichi Sakamoto from the film The Revenant. Sakamoto loved the poetics of Andrei Tarkovsky as much as I did. Moreover, The Revenant is set in winter...
I wish you pleasant listening.

"Tento album je hudobnou poviedkou, ktorú som zložil začiatkom decembra, keď u nás napadlo veľa snehu. Spoza okna som pozeral na zamrznutú krajinu a čítal som si básne môjho priateľa Valerija Kupku. Rohodol som sa tieto večerné chvíle zhudobniť a básne čítať v dvoch jazykoch. Slovenskom a anglickom spolu s mojou dcérou Barborou. Každý jazyk má svoju vlastnú melodiku a dynamiku. Na albume je aj skladba Ryuichiho Sakamota z filmu The Revenant. Sakamoto miloval poetiku Andreja Tarkovského rovnako ako ja. Navyše sa film The Revenant odohráva v zime...
Prajem vám príjemné počúvanie.

I was inspired to create this album by a scene from the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona by Woodie Allen. The painter Juan Antonio suggested that they listen to the guitar in the evening.

I was inspired to create this album by a scene from the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona by Woodie Allen. The painter Juan Antonio suggested that they listen to the guitar in the evening. I thought what would I play for a painter on an acoustic guitar without a looper, Ableton live and other effects that are part of my guitar sound. I decided to visit Barcelona and find such a guitarist and get inspired. I sat by the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc and listened to a flameco guitarist. I started to think about how I would play like this on the street. I can't play classical or flamenco. I had to differentiate myself somehow. I decided to record spontaneous acoustic guitar compositions on one microphone and cable on strongly undertuned strings (In one piece is Whammy pedal).
Like I was playing on the street. You can hear me breathing and screaming on the album.

I used Lexicon reverb and Adaptiverb. The result is 13 spontaneous compositions, which I would call Soundtrack art. This is how the director of the belvedere gallery in Vienna named my music.

!!!You will have the best musical experience with headphones!!!

Dedicated to my kitty Ozzy.

ENGLISH:
I composed this album on the terrace of my house on Saturday 24. June 2023.
The specific songs carry the names of medications I take or have taken during anxiety attacks that have triggered my atrial fibrillation several times. Anxieties are a very unpleasant thing and come unexpectedly. This time they inspired me to record the music you are listening to right now. I called the album simply THE PILLS.

SLOVAK:
Tento album som skomponoval na terase mojho domu v sobotu 24. Júna 2023.
Konkrétne skladby nesú názvy liekov, ktoré beriem alebo som bral počas úzkostí, ktoré mi niekoľko krát spustili fibriláciu predsiene srdca. Úzkosti sú veľmi neprijemná vec a prichádzajú nečakane. Tento krát ma inšpirovali k nahraniu hudby, ktorú práve počúvate. Album som nazval jednoducho THE PILLS.

Thanks to all my supporters Marek Salka, Vlado Kačala, my family, my few friends and my doctors :)

“Over time David and Arve managed to create a specific sound language of their own, which is beautifully reflected in this recording. It goes way beyond just the music, and could be very well described as sound painting, sound sculpting or perhaps sound dancing, with its cross-media concept, that it creates, at least in my perception.

“Over time David and Arve managed to create a specific sound language of their own, which is beautifully reflected in this recording. It goes way beyond just the music, and could be very well described as sound painting, sound sculpting or perhaps sound dancing, with its cross-media concept, that it creates, at least in my perception.

The music flows unhurried, as if freed from the fourth dimension and rhythmic patterns, like wind, which blows gently and unpredictably. It is up to the listener to become part of the process of creation and setting the pace, by which these sound collages take shape within or between the brain cells.

The beauty of this music is like an elixir, which hopefully might cure or at least reduce the suffering, to which all of us are exposed in the world that surrounds us: loneliness, estrangement, desperation, futility… destiny? Music, after all, makes life worth living. As always, the magicians / alchemists behind this sound potion have my eternal gratitude.”
