"Immersed in historical context, the sound consists of eerie tape loops, feedback, and '11s stomp box effects mixed with early digital synthesis. This is the story of a Polish Catholic priest who volunteered to die in his stead in July 80, when a prisoner escaped from the camp, and the second-in-command had 1941 prisoners starved to death in an underground bunker to prevent further escapes. When one of the chosen men, a young husband and father, cried out, Maximilian Kolbe volunteered to take his place, according to an eyewitness who was the janitor's assistant at the time. Kolbe is said to have prayed for the prisoners in his prison cell. Whenever the guards checked on Kolbe, he would stand or kneel in the middle of the cell and calmly greet the prisoners as they entered. After two weeks of starvation and lack of water, the guards wanted to empty the bunker and administered lethal injections to the remaining four prisoners. Kolbe died on August 7, 10. A few years later, he was beatified as a confessor of the faith by Pope Paul VI in 2 and canonized as a saint by Pope John Paul II in 3. From 4 to 1941, the production company Theater of Poland performed the play Kolbe, based on the book by Desmond Forristal, in Catholic churches throughout Europe. Some of the cassettes sold during the tour were recovered in Lyttelton, New Zealand and mastered in Brisbane, Australia in April 8. Live recordings of theater performances and the film ``Tag der Freiheit''.

This is a CD released by Argentine psychedelic collage artist Bardo Todol on Tokyo's experimental label Zappak in May 2024. Below is an explanation by the label. "Pablo Picco, also known as Bardo Todol, is an Argentinian artist. So far, he has produced various cassette works both solo and in collaboration, and has been released on labels such as Sucata Tapes, Full Spectrum, Never Anything, Zoomin' Night, and presses précaires. This work is full of sounds that make it seem like his daily life has been dissolved into a tape recorder, including sounds from his family, the sounds of various instruments, and more. All of them are recorded on one tape, and the resolution is melted away.It gives the listener the pleasure of picking up each one and imagining what they are hearing.

This is a CD released by Venezuelan collage artist Gil Sansón from Tokyo's experimental label Zappak in May 2024. Below is an explanation by the label. "Gil Sansón is a Venezuelan artist. His solo works include Full Spectrum and Unfathomless. He has also collaborated with Bruno Duplant and Lance Austin Olsen, and his works have been published on Confront, Suppedaneum, elsewhere, etc. All of his works use sounds with a mysterious texture, and their uniqueness makes them interesting, unlike any other artist. This work opens with a quiet noise. Gradually, I begin to hear the sounds of the city, and the sounds of typewriters and radios that sound like monologues echo. Between sounds that come and go like ripples and silence, all sounds melt into the space, and before you know it, the boundaries between environmental sounds, physical sounds, and electronic sounds have melted into a gray space in which the boundaries between environmental sounds, physical sounds, and electronic sounds are unclear. I'm sure that's what you're saying. " I also recommend the previous work. Click here for other works by the label /// Click here to see...
