about

The album "ECHOM" was completed today. It is very fresh.

In the first track, "Echom", I had the pleasure to work with Christian Moll from Turin, Italy. I tried adding a Cosmic Jokers / Ash Ra vibe to his electronics using voice and electric guitar. "Echoes floating by
Past is reemerging
From the margin horizon
Glowing fast and changing
Flowers have been dead, honey
A long time ago
And I don't think it's that sunny
On this side of the world"

The second track, "Brat Transformacji, Siostra Kosmosu" was inspired by the Polish cosmonaut, Mirosław Hermaszewski.

"Kräuter Yoda's Solo Trip" was inspired by my jam sessions with TALL YODAS (tallyodas.bandcamp.com) and the ADII performance at Niklashauser Fart.

"Sticks and Strings" is about the Stonehenge Free Festivals.

"Office Girls in Ballet Heels" is inspired by Hawkwind, Roxy Music, and soft porn.

"Blues in Dub Jam" is just a raw lo-fi jam in dub, where my friend Hugo Kowicki (drums in Tall Yodas) plays acoustic bass. In comes complete with the acoustic bass hum which we couldn't (or wouldn't) remove.

"Forget the Moon, Forget the Sun" is a short poem about life. It was inspired by Jim Morrison. "I’ve heard the song of a million years
I picked the road of a million miles
And I’ve been traveling with the night of pearls
I never stopped and I never lied
Faithful down to the very last drop
Yearning for the summer to come
Forget the moon, forget the sun"

"One Too Many Blues" is one of my longest blues lyrics, here it was set to noise blues repetitive music, as I was recently enjoying Pussy Galore and their inspiration with industrial music. "Now somebody, say it’s over
I can’t stand it anymore
Angels fighting with the devil
Over remnants of my soul"

"Kitty Groove Jam" is a funny jam for which the initial idea came from Bo Diddley - his awesome rhythm and lyrics.

"Siren Singers" closes the album, and it's a very intimate psychedelic ballad about a solar lady. "So never forever wrong
She'll sing
When the planets easy out
Everything"
