reset algorithm by Michał Milczarek

Initially, this music was meant to be a kind of meditation on the end of the world as we know it. On "the burning of the world," as Achille Mbembe might put it. By giving titles to the tracks, I wanted to create an additional narrative focused on how this reflection takes place today. For me and many people my age, it happens online. That's why "reset algorithm," in my view, is a sonic note on the everyday life of a digital activist.

In the titles, I quote Donald Trump's tweets, refer to meme language, and ask questions. I allude to what digital climate activists encounter daily. To what I observe on the internet myself, wanting to change it even a little, wanting to reset the algorithm. I hope that, despite everything, a hint of hope shines through these sounds and this narrative.

I am a musician and composer. I create multi-genre music with a strong focus on ambient. In my creative process I most often use guitar soundscapes, field recordings and my computer.
