about

We made a short demo song using the "Vagabond Crystal" NI Kontakt library by Atom Hub, and absolutely nothing else, no external effects or anything. It's actually a remake of a 20+ years old song of ours, Patchouli - you can find the original chiptune version on our first LP and EP, both titled Himette.

The Vagabond Crystal sample library was created to utilize the sounds of bells, glass, and metal objects. Various items were used and
sampled: A singing bowl, Tibetan bells, a little gong, wine glasses, a dish cover, water, rocks, a synthesizer, plus hardware and software
effectors. The idea was to pay homage to crystal, shiny sounds and soundscapes and... caves. Yes, these sounds, their long sustains and
sparkle instantly bring up images of caves, and of descent into their eerie depths, in my mind.
I wander through their stony halls, corridors and galleries, and admire the silent beauty of Mother Nature’s work of art. Stalagmites and
stalactites, like statues, guard the returning echoes of water drops dripping from wet, cold walls and ceilings. An underground river is taking
me far away from the surface. Time is standing still in the darkness, eyes don’t see. Imagination comes to life. I become a crystal who
wanders through the dark, like a vagabond without a home.

Makunouchi Bento Timișoara, Romania

The Makunouchi Bento, or traditional Japanese lunchbox, is a highly lacquered wooden box divided into quadrants, each of which contains different delicacies. It is also one of the most familiar images of Japan's domestic environment. Reading the box as both an object and a metaphor, Felix Petrescu and Valentin Toma founded this cinematic / experimental / electroacoustic project back in late 2000. ... more
