kaosskid I really can't stand any form of electronic music that lacks real effort and creativity. The artists I listen to must put forth a real desire to create something unique, interesting and hopefully beautiful. This album has all of these qualities. It is well thought out, very creative and quite beautiful. I throughly enjoy listening to it day or night. A must have for ambient heads. Favorite track: In Search Of Miraculous.

magoski I remember sitting at the piano
in the hotel lobby
and playing
for you
echoing through the atrium
of the Embassy Suites
I'd ride the line of guests calling security
trying to keep the intensity down
just be the prelude to a good
dream
Prelude to a Good Dream
That's all I ever wanted to be
something that would make you
smile
somehting to make you think
about just how great
it is
to be alive
Favorite track: In Search Of Miraculous.

___________________________________________________

Tomáš Knoflíček is a musician, sound artist and curator. His compositions consist of a combination of glitch structures, computer deconstruction, soundscaping, field recordings and acoustic instruments, including historical psaltery or guitar. Rather than composing, working with sound is a way for him to develop his own sensitivity to the world around him and the phenomena or situations that surround him. His compositions have the character of time cans in which he stores specific stimuli and experiences. However, they also serve as a means of fixing and concentrating his distracted mind. Tomáš Knoflíček is a member of the visionary quartet Gurun Gurun (Home Normal, Silver Rocket, Buh Records) or the audiovisual project LyrArkestra+, which focuses on the interpretation of graphic scores by prominent Czech and Slovak visual artists (Milan Adamčiak, Jan Steklík, etc.). He is also the organiser of the Cuckoo festival of art in public space (kukacka.org).

Serendipity is an abstract record straddling the line between silence and verbosity. It responds to external stimuli, but at the same time it is also intrinsically introspective. The form of the recording - like the steps of the flaneur - was influenced primarily by chance. It is shaped by an associative yarn of sounds, so it is actually waiting for a suitable constellation, a dialogue between artificial and natural, everyday and festive.
