artist: Dawid Szczesny

title: Snow Beetroot / Stapes I-III

Dawid Szczesny offers up the first in a series of unlimited edition 3" CDR releases with limited hand made packaging.

Dawid Szczesny is a sound artist located in Wroclaw, Poland.

Dawid's works are mostly created through processing old vinyl LPs, tapes, and field recordings.

Dawid's sound is both digital and warm/natural with an underling melodic sensibility.

Snow Beetroot includes guitar sounds by Dawid Bargenda, which is worthy of explanation; Duo Bargenda/Szczesny is a suspended-in-time project, recently heard live on Polish tour with September Collective. Snow Beetroot is mostly based on sounds of guitar, played by Dawid Bargenda during a rehearsal in april 2005. None of these sounds were supposed to be used on Bargenda/Szczesny recordings. Snow Beetroot may however, be considered to be a result of this collaboration.

Stapes I-III are part of a bigger project. There is lot more Stapes pieces. They are all never-ending loops, created to be played live, with different timing, in different configurations. Each of them might be listened either as a never ending loop or a finished piece itself. The whole idea of using long, apparently simple loops, is to make a listener perceive each sound's repeatability and principle, which is different at every performance, depending - in some way - on accident.
