• X-NAVI:ET - 'Technosis' CD

X-Navi:Et is Rafal Iwanski (Hati, Kapital,Innercity Ensemble, Voices Of The Cosmos). "Technosis" expands a clear vision of electro-acoustic music using some African and Eurasian traditional instruments. "Technosis" is a term describing an overblown attachment to, or dependency to technology... the loss of empathy and personality due to overuse of new technologies. This term can also relate to other destructive phenomena that we can observe for example in our environment all over the planet. Technological growth is currently overwhelming and so are its effects.


"If we are discussing electro-acoustic music, we need to stress that its roots are also stuck in technology but I prefer analogue devices, at least in terms of generating sounds or modulating those recorded via microphones. I don't use laptops and I don't intend to do so. Otherwise I would be forced to refrain from calling my live performances 'concerts'. I really enjoy those small mistakes that are always connected to playing real instruments... Imperfection is what makes us human".

Composed on acoustic instruments and electronic devices: bodhran (Irish frame drum), bendir (Moroccan frame drum), mbira (South African lamellophone), zummara (Egyptian double clarinet), hulusi (Chinese flute), shanti chimes, bells, metal objects, bows, spring drums, rattles, horns, voice, tone generator, effects, condenser microphone, contact microphones and more. No field recordings, samples, synths or drum machines were used. 6-panel digipak.
