about

Every object that surrounds us wants to speak to us. Every object has a sound when it comes into contact with the air. Some sounds do not even require human intervention, but most of the sounds we force out of objects are our own. We press the on button, or simply drop the objects, or touch them to each other, or clean them with a cloth. They don't always make a sound that is familiar, because objects can be in different states, just like people, sometimes sick, sometimes happy. Of course, objects are not sick, at most they are in a bad state, and they are not happy, at most they are in perfect factory condition. I have tried to collect the sounds of many common household objects, the sounds that are not common, but in a blind test many people will probably fail and not recognise the object by its sound. Each sonic installation is accompanied by a story from the imaginary world of the objects, so that we can understand the soul of the object, what it says to the people who have accumulated it.

This album was made over a year without me having to leave the house, all the objects were at hand with a few exceptions. The problem was mainly caused by the many different sounds of identical objects and the accumulation of many identical objects in the apartment. The idea for the album was inspired by a painter who wanted to paint objects of daily use on canvas, in his own style, and simply to paint the object without the people as they are found in the lonely everyday life. The plan was to create an exhibition of the paintings, for which visitors could listen to the accompanying sonic installations through headphones.
