Future Antiquities by Jeff Gburek (with Karolina Ossowska)
This bundle of 23 partially explainable but nevertheless anomalous sound phenomena came into this world during then final hours of December 31, 2024 and the first hours of January 1, 2025 and were either left to ripen in the moonlight and/or acquired further embellishment and elaboration in the following weeks, until this very now of release. Very loose, spontaneous, improvised but with some preparation and limitation of the sound palette. Perhaps one can sense New Year's fireworks triggering the irregular landfall style doom kicks in some other access dimension.
Created with Microfreak Synth, MC-305, Korg Volca Kick, Akai Pad, Audiomulch. Keyboard accomaniment intermittently throughout by Karolina Ossowska but it's on The Rule of Champagne where she takes the lead and sets the tone. Cover art collage by Karolina Ossowska. Editing and mastering by Jeff Gbk for Akashic Records
