Immersed Sensibilities- Deluxe CD version – Available Now

Available Now!

We at TRS are very excited to bringing you this first album from Polish composer and musician, Antonina Car, entitled Immersed Sensibilities. In the words of Car herself:

“While working on this album I decided to limit interaction with other people as much as I could. I spent 6 months in a pretty isolated state, almost every day working on music. I wanted to avoid any outside influence on my music, just internal thoughts and true space for limitless experiments. I wanted to create a small sonic universe containing structures and its own impression of time. What inspired me most was my idea of nature being the ultimate source of metaphors for the human condition. It perfectly shows its strength and vulnerability. It's flawless in its beauty and ferocity. I spent a lot of time reflecting on the idea that every event occurring in nature it's a poetic form on its own and I wanted to try transcribing my feelings to stories and events I imagined could take place. I would say that throughout the album songs introduce the listener to the peculiar sonic "biosphere" where organisms are fully synthetic, made up by the imagination. Then the voice appears, being the reference for the imagination as the words bring more context. Besides the acoustic instruments and recorded voice, sounds are highly processed, and recordings in the background that could appear as field recordings (wind, thunders, rustles) are in fact designed completely digitally. Then the last track is a form of a manifest. It's the only track where I don't play the instruments. I'm focusing on the narrative and the field recording appears this time in the track - subtle steps on forest leaves. The track correlates with my journey throughout the album and thoughts on the present. I imagine it framing the disordered and uncertain beginning with an expressive yet appeased ending.”
