Listen to the mix
STM 001 is a mixed compilation that consists of twelve separate compositions created between 2010 and 2011 by Bartosz Dziadosz, known as Pleq, and his colleagues from Japan, Canada, Spain and the United Kingdom.
The author of the mix Bartosz Dziadosz – Pleq is an electro-acoustic artist, based in Warsaw, Poland. By connecting ambient, glitch and modern classical musical elements, Pleq extracts his sincere individuality. After releasing thirteen albums and being represented on more than thirteen record labels he now can be called a major figure in the academic music scene.
In the records
STM 001 is a coherent and thoughtful one-hour musical line that definitely proves Bartosz’s complete musical feeling. Extensive piercing atmospheres are drifting through the whole work and gently changing their shapes by assimilating even rustling sounds. Melancholic, wide-ranging melodies submerge in the field of contemporary sound while occasionally emerging sublime cello entries and suddenly varying piano chords bring vitality into the selection. These delaying field recordings and subtle effects create a perfect fulfillment to the whole.
Pleq creates a significant journey inside your mind and soul where time does not exist. This is an imperishable monument of intelligent sound from one of Poland’s most promising musicians.
