Faza C (phase C)

Pure drone, pure phase. The only one generated using nothing but synthesisers and effects. No guitars, brass, vocals or musicians. Created by Karol Schwarz during the Pure Phase Ensemble 3 ft Laetitia Sadier workshop taking place during SpaceFest.
PPE3 musicians composed 6 songs over the course of four days, while I made one sound. I set the instruments, effects and feedback to play on their own. Waves emerge and disperse. Rise and fall. On the fourth day, I turned the recorder on and went for a walk – says Karol Schwarz.

about 7faz:
Seven is a mystical number. It is a symbol of wholeness, fulfilment and perfection in many mythologies and religions of the world; it symbolises the bond between time and space. It was an attribute of gods, its figure featured in architecture, holy scripts, commandments and cosmology. There were seven virtues, seven sacraments, seven liberal arts and seven bodily “glories” of the blessed in Heaven. But we’re not done yet: there are seven days of the week, seven planets ruling the zodiac, seven rainbow colours and seven crystal systems. Not to mention Seven Samurai and the same amount of The Magnificent. And how many notes are there in music? That’s right, seven.

Now there comes another seven: 7faz – a new project by Tricity (Gdansk-Sopot-Gdynia / Poland) musicians associated with Nasiono Records. The project ideally fits the symbolism mentioned above. Why? Because 7faz is a finished wholeness and harmony but simultaneously – it constitutes a building material for something more.

Seven phases may be just listened to, but they also provide building blocks for musicians or DJs. “Phases G and E were used by Pure Phase Ensemble 5 ft Hugo Race during SpaceFest performance. You can hear Phase G in the background of “I’m Gonna Use My Claws” by Asia i Koty. Phases are also used by Projekt Poezja Kulturystyczna (Bodybuliders’ Poetry Project)” – says Karol Schwarz, the initiator and one of the creators of the project.

Seven phases create seven musical spaces recorded on seven separate discs. Each phase usually consists of two parts: tuning (a tranquil, contemplative part) and a trip (a louder part).

Individual phases constitute separate entities but they all interconnect in an unusual way, complement each other, unceasingly swirl around each other and interfere.

Seven days before The Deluge Noah heard: Take with you seven pairs of every kind of animal, a male and its mate. And also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. We do not know what Karol Schwarz heard, but the fact is that the musicians he gathered met and recorded in a wooden barn situated in the middle of Kashubian nowhere. Seven kilometres from the nearest village shop. And when it stopped raining – a rainbow of seven colours appeared in the sky…

Faza B

The starting point in composing Phase B were the notes – surprisingly found in the attic – from a secret diary of a submarine captain, who, during his six-week long winter tour, finally reached the bottom. It seemed unexpectedly vibrant: lit with the remnants of inner light, it opalesced like a nacre. The dark depths above were shot through with streaks of singing: when the captain shut his eyes tighter it seemed to him that he noticed tiny reflections of sunlight in the scales of sirens’ tails afar. Heedless of the hazard he set off in hot pursuit; for a while he thought he grabbed the gist with his greedily extended hand, but all he grasped was a sextant. He finally tried to save himself by trim to the stern, but caught on sleepwalking by the able seaman apparently attracted by the noises, he spent the rest of the voyage locked in the caboose.

Phase A
part one – drone on four guitars, an analogue synthesizer, a sitar and a saxophone; a musical mantra cleared of attack, rather swirling than flowing

part two – a flight of a ball thrown high up and falling to bounce again; the instruments playing extremely loud hit unison in an escalating tempo, to finally intertwine in a radical noise chaos scattering again – in time – into a rhythmical beat.

“(…) Part 1 is a meditative drone on four guitars, an analogue synthesizer, a sitar and a saxophone which is not unlike the more experimental/drugged out sonic adventures of Spacemen 3. It’s a musical mantra cleared of attack and more swirling than flowing, which is a total contrast to the second part of the EP. Part 2 (Basketball) is cacophonous Space Jazz that represents the flight of a ball thrown high up and falling to bounce again with the instruments playing extremely loud in unison to an escalating tempo before breaking down into chaotic noise……..think the Sun Ra Arkestra and  Spiritualized fighting over the lost chord. (…)”

“(…) The second track, “Faza A cz.2 (Basketball)” is built at close range fuzz guitar attacks in the vein of Spiritualized circa 1997. A molotov cocktail that will shake the neurons of the most demanding music lovers and especially those who miss the guitarrorists flings of Jason Pierce, today lost in gospel rock and roll. (…)”

The second album entitled “Sing” was released on 2 April 2016 on Nasiono Records label that Bielawska has been associated with from the very beginning of her career. As the title indicates, this album is about singing and vocals play a major role in it. Asia i Koty intertwines various musical inspirations here, among which one can sense the spirit of Angel Olsen, Cat Power or Julianna Barwick. The music is based on the sound of an electric guitar but Joanna Bielawska also reaches for an acoustic guitar, piano, loops her instruments or enhances them with a subtle beat. The artist states that this album is about the importance of singing songs in her life and about a constant struggle with herself, about the barriers we create for ourselves:

“Sing” is a chronicle of my battle with depression, pathologically low self-esteem and persisting lack of faith in myself. The songs were written without any prior planning – they are the result of spontaneous home recording sessions which occurred when I had a chance to turn my self-loathing into creative energy. The song “Sing” is about a constant state of self-doubt which paralyses and prevents from doing anything most of the time. “Miracle I Hate” is presenting my fascination with how the state of depression can totally distort the perception of oneself. Because how is it possible to relish the world that surrounds you and at the same time thoroughly hate yourself and your life which after all is a miracle too? “In the Morning” is about the strokes of hope and life energy – and how quickly they tend to slip through your fingers. “All I Ask Take My Hand” is about the things a depressed person expects from their loved ones. Depression destroys not only the person suffering from it but also the loved ones who tend to take responsibility for the illness. Even though they are not to blame in the slightest. In most of the cases, depression has nothing to do with whatever is happening around us. It comes and goes without any notice. In a slip of a second it can take the whole meaning of life away, but not forever. That’s why sometimes it’s enough just to hold each other’s hands and to wait for the meaning to come back.

Pure Phase Ensemble 4 is an international music collective, created especially for the SpaceFest! festival of shoegaze, space-rock and psychedelia in Gdansk in 2014. Musicians from Poland and abroad gathered to take part in a special workshop. They collectively composed a concert’s worth of music, which they then presented live to the festival-goers. The programme for the workshop was curated by Ray Dickaty, a British saxophonist improviser and former member of Spiritualized (1997-2002) and Karol Schwarz (KSAS), who also manages Nasiono Records label. During the 2014 edition of SpaceFest!, Mark Gardener, the frontman of celebrated shoegaze pioneers RIDE, was a new musical director and co-curated the workshop. This unique performance was recorded live and subsequently released as an LP in 2015.

TEKSTY

“Biała sierść”

Wilgoć, śnieg i tony ziemii
Wielkie chęci, telegraf
Chciałbym tam pojechać z tobą

Jest na stacji parę rzeczy
Więc czemu badacz kryje twarz?
Miś przychodzi o północy
Biała sierść, biała śmierć
“Zawracanie z wykorzystaniem infrastruktury”

żółte znaki przejmują dosłownością
gdy używasz halogenów
otwierasz się na terror
widują coraz większe przejazdy
uciekamy przez miasto na wielka role

zawracanie z wykorzystaniem infrastruktury
uczono ciebie nasłuchiwać uchem torów
uczono ciebie…
“Szary mistyk”

Trzeci dzień to drugi dzień bo gdzieś zaginał pierwszy
Kładziesz się na boku na sofie
Czwarty dzień to jest twój dzień, to już jest to co lubisz
W drzwiach cienie od rana widują przechodniów – lubią się zabawić

Szary szary
Szary szary mistyk

Biegnie Starowiejską, biegnie biegnie i dopada was
Ja dziś stronie, dziś od miejskich mas
Ja widzę to z daleka
Jestem niewyspany

szary szary
Szary szary mistyk
“Po południu Mechowo”

Jestem
Zakasałem rękaw, drugi też podwinę, w ręku mam latarkę
Jestem czwarty znów w kolejce, boje się o wejście, bardzo chce wejść w to przejście

Gdzie spędzasz czas?
W domu twoja dziewczyna jużgtowa
Pracujesz zawodowo, po południu Mechowo

Mam to, co chciałem, utknąłem w przejściu
Wszyscy już wyszli i tak ciemno jest przy wejściu
Glina, piasek, błoto – to jest mój finalny widok
Kończy się dla mnie świat i już nie mam szans na odwrót

Gdzie spędzasz czas?
W samochodzie zostawiłeś włączone radio
Niedaleko za Krokową, po południu mechowo
Gdzie spędzasz czas?
Tam, gdzie jest sekretny tunel
Za głęboko i pechowo, przeznaczenie to Mechowo
“Bulwar / Molo”

Ten policjant chodzi wstecz
O nas w bramie nie wie nic
Czujesz jego oddech już
W zakamarkach miasta pada deszcz

Kontuzje cię nie bolą
Zapijasz wódkę colą
skaczesz przez bulwar, skaczesz przez molo

Wirujesz wciaz jak fakir
Zawijasz siebie w rollo
Skaczesz przez bulwar, skaczesz przez molo

Na podwórku pięc postaci
Jeden siedzi, czwórka tańczy
Zawsze pierwszy do ucieczki
Wstań, zrelaksuje sie, na spacer idź

Kontuzje cię nie bolą
Walka przeciw zatorom
Skaczesz przez bulwar, skaczesz przez molo
I choć pracujesz czasem
Spędzasz wieczór z atlasem
Skaczesz przez bulwar, skaczesz przez molo
“Indianin”

Wiele mówi, do domu ma blisko więc przejdzie na piechotę ten odcinek drogi
Zrobił wiele – czy najważniejszy zrobił krok w życiu
ciekawa postać

Kontakty z miastem rozległe miał, kontakty
kontakty z miastem, kontakty

A możę kiedyś zastanowi się ktoś jaka rolę miał odegrać on
Kurzu nie ma pozostała tylko kostka brukowa
ciekawa postać

Kontakty z miastem rozległe miał, kontakty
kontakty z miastem, kontakty

Za głęboko i pechowo, przeznaczenie to Mechowo
“Statek Matka”

Patrz na ten statek nie przechyla się
Masowiec z grubą burtą
Silniki kable kurs na drugi brzeg
To nie wakacje to jest Statek Matka

Dwie nadbudówki, kranów widzisz sześć
Czy jest coś co niepokoi cię?
Nie masz powodów by schodzić na ląd
Zastój powoduje chaos, lecz myśli nie sprawiają trudu
Statek Matka
“Girls from Rewa, Boys From Hel”

Girls from Rewa, Boys From Hel
They’re all handsome, looking well
Making business on the sea
In the summer, they feel free

I wish to be one of them
I wish to love and live like
Girls from Rewa, Boys from Hel
Cooking, dreaming, working, swimming
Girls from Rewa, Boys from Hel, beware of porpoise

Girls From Rewa, Boys from Hel
Now i’m finally getting well
I found peace on a seaside shore
Every girl needs a boy

I wish to be one of them
I wish to love and live like
