I decided to record the album Son in the beginning of this year, when my son David was waiting for a second surgery. It was a very difficult and painful period, which I also took as a challenge to move somewhere else.
I recorded the feelings that were inside me and around me. I wanted to conceive the album differently than I did before. I used only electric guitar on which I made all the noises and sounds; mandoline, which I play with bow, Gamelan, a voice of Lenka Dusilová and India Czajkowska.
The compositions are based on improvisations, which I recorded in Warsaw in a studio of Tadeusz Sudnik and later in my studio in Slovakia.
The final material was longer than three hours. From that I chose what is on the album.
David Kollar - guitars, bowed mandoline, effects, gamelan, vocal
Lenka Dusilova - vocals
India CZajkowska - vocals
