notes
The titles of the compositions on this release were of course taken from Stanisław Lem. They are part of The Cyberiad subtitle. In this context, I think they complement the full album very well - both stylistically and conceptually.
Because this EP is some kind of subtitle for Future: ON. Even though the idea of releasing it was totally spontaneous. Marcin Cichy managed to cut individual fragments nicely and turn them into separate songs. Thanks to this, we have minimal DEWIACJE, IDM style SUPERFIKSACJE and organic electronic WARIACJE SERDECZNE. Each of these compositions is a different aesthetic concept. However, their common attribute is trance and beat.
It was SUPERFIKSACJE that turned out to be the piece that really promoted the album. This is the most dynamic and… the shortest song. Maciek Głowiński and I decided to create a hyperlapse videoclip for this track.
