Spojky Čiary by Daniel Kordík

Spojky Čiary is the new album by London-based Slovak musician Daniel Kordík. Over the years, he's been involved in several projects, including the hardware noise duo Jamka and his solo and collaboration ventures, which span improv and field recording (check out his [Sy][ria] release on LOM, for instance). His Baba Vanga venture is devoted to the dance - dance for dance's sake, without its social function or manipulation.

Seven compositions represent one dance each, and embody sound through the movement of the body while dancing. He does so with precision and elaboration, each step carefully thought out and developed into abstraction. When making the album, Daniel wasn't sure where the dancing would lead to, there are several culminations, ebbs and flows, in each track. Spojky Čiary is a metaphor of the discreetness of the continuum: how does a conjunction arise from a certain continuum and how does it dissolve, only to transform into a new one.

Started in 2013, by the Easterndaze crew, Baba Vanga is named in honour of the famed Bulgarian oracle. The imprint specializes in anything that catches its fancy.
