O TYM ODCINKU
Piece based on Rakim's microphone by Borys Kossakowski.
"A piece inspired by the Item Number 61 - Cordless microphone used by Rakim to record The 18th Letter.
I dare to say that we are friends with Rakim now. For the last couple of weeks, we spent a lot of time together. Although we never met or talk.
Rakim was walking around the room, talking about his life. I was listening, noting, recording his words. We listened to the music. I showed him some old sketches of mine - ideas, improvisations, live sessions. Finally, he said: this one. What’s that? ‘Lately’ by Love Loopers - a live-at-home session recorded by my wife and me - said I.
"Suddenly everything started to match and fit - just like in a puzzle game.
"That’s a Rakim’s Loop. Meet Rakim.
"Rakim - William Michael Griffin Jr. (born January 28, 1968), better known by his stage name Rakim. American rapper, one half of golden age hip hop duo Eric B. & Rakim. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential and most skilled MCs of all time.

Birds fill the space, with only a distant sense of the urban world behind them. It shows another side of the capital: quieter, greener, more open. The recording feels lik…
This piece was inspired by a recording of a klaxon in Patton, PA that seemed to warn of nothing on a spring morning but the arrival of migrant birds.
Patton klaxon sound reimagined by Xanthra DuFrane.
A few old men play a game of dice at the outskirts of the sprawling Osh Bazaar. They slap down small bills before rolling the dice on a wooden board and chain smoke cheap cigarettes. The smoke drifts into the pharmacy next door. They seemingly sell flooring at some point too. While bustling, the …
The original recording conjures a restful yet lively ambience that brings to life what early morning in this part of Chisinau must feel like.
As the recordist Rafa notes, there is 'a distant sense of the urban world behind them' in the original recording, which in this composition is brought to t…
"A mix of the casual tumbling dice in their cup and the majestically remote mountains that cover the land outside of Bishkek."
