pan y rosas release weeping, by last king of poland

pan y rosas is happy to present weeping, the newest work from experimental/noise artist last king of poland. it’s a two track, half hour work of release recorded after hours in the fantastic acoustic environment of a racquetball court. tomasz used two vocal contact mics to capture the sound vibrations of his voice and body and run them through a series of pedals and oscillators. the result is a minimal world of motion where raw electricity buzzes and howls, feedback hums and drones and tension fills the silences. check it out here.

pan y rosas release last king of poland – hymn

hey everyone! we at pyr are excited to release an album from right here in chicago – hymn by last king of poland, aka tomasz jurczak.

tomasz began making music within the 8-bit/chiptune genre before moving into the world of harsh noise and ambient in 2007. he primarily uses a large pedalboard to manipulate feedback and voice as well as various noisemakers and synths. he tries to create a noise music that produces an emotional response in contrast to what he feels is the modern paradigm of drinking beer and turning a knob.

to this end his new album hymn is a quiet piece of time-lag minimalism for voice and two pedals. pulsing tones that drift in and out of phase and noises that float over drones of wordless vocalizations. meditative, introspective, and pretty. challenging without damaging your ears. get it here.
