Session 1 - tracks 1,2.
For this session I improvised the "Motorock" song and improvised music to my old set of lyrics, "Capsule 1". I utilized the "old and classic" (2014-2017) Via Kosmische sound that was made possible thanks to Kacper Wojaczek who equipped my home studio in 2013.

Session 2 - tracks 3,4.
"Inside" and "Silver Man" are originally improvised around riffs found on my home cassettes solo or with Mateusz Nowicki, 2002-2004. The lyrics were improvised, and the raw demo quality is what I intended for those two tracks.

Session 3 - track 5.
For this session I was joined by my good friend Tim Williams on vocals. The lyrics are a poem his mother, Faith Williams, wrote. I loved working with Tim again and I hope this is not our last collaboration.

Session 4 - tracks 6-10.
For this session I utilized a new drum machine I bought this year. It felt like starting over with new software, hardware, the only known instrument remaining my old trusted Gibson SG '61. When polished, this will become the new Via Kosmische sound for 2024.
