1) What sound makes you feel most connected - to another person, a place, or the world itself? (please not only give a short answer, you can tell us why it is so and anything that comes to your mind. A story perhaps?) I really would like to sing together with someone. It would be an abstract conversation. Like loud breathing toghether, and also saying/singing long vowels. We should concentrate on authenticity, not even on performing a masterpiece. Although it doesn't have to be about mistakes. Mistakes would be tolerated, but we would remember the beauty, and the connection. 2) Please send a photograph of anything you choose that you want to share (a person - it can be you, an object, landscape, instrument, abstract detail, your sourrounding) and tell us about the place/thing/person/picture. There is a lake, famous (among other things) for being a place where poet Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński wrote some of his poems. He was interested in humour, but also in ancient mythological ...

1) What sound makes you feel most connected - to another person, a place, or the world itself? Electronic music that is calm and somehow carries the feeling of morning makes me feel most connected to the world. I often imagine a city skyline while listening: mostly empty streets, windows beginning to catch the light, and the sense that the day has not yet accumulated demands. Music like that makes me feel anchored without making me feel confined. I am nearing the end of an academic period that has lasted about seven and a half years and is on track to result in three degrees and a regulated profession. At this stage, perhaps the final ten or fifteen percent, I often need to return mentally to the person I was at the beginning: hopeful, setting intentions, gathering energy and still able to imagine completion rather than only the remaining work. A piece that reliably does this for me is “Birdman” by Solar Fields ( https://youtu.be/cq6t2-uAOcw ). It is short and understated, but somethin...

This is {AN} EeL and while there's a number of sounds that make me very happy, I think the ones that supply me with the most " Connective Tissue " are the sounds I make and if circumstances allow, create with others in particular in a live setting - An example, a photo from 2026 DRONE DAY event where I was able to have a first time IRL duet with Toad Doctor, who'd seen me at last year's event & invited me to collaborate . I love these circumstances , creating & engaging community in a tangible, IRL Way. AKA " Sounds Good To Me " Photo Credit = Sunny Malik

I live in the outskirts of my hometown, only a short walk to a large forest – like in my childhood, but also close to a busstation, so it is easy to go downtown...for concerts or exhibitons or my doctors or shopping   3) Where would you like to go? I do not travel much anymore these days, but going where I can play music is always good   4) What would you say are the main features of your creative process(s)?

I would want the audience to feel that my music is authentic and coming s...
