FERAL CHILDREN @ MACONDO
Poetry and Spontaneous Music
On 20 October 2023, the duo Feral Children, i.e. Aleksander Olszewski (percussion instruments) and Jan Fanfare (guitar), played and recorded a concert at the MACONDO in Wrocław.
During their performance, Olga Czopinska, who was present there, wrote poems, which she later also recorded in the summer of 2024.
Jan Fanfare combined the musical recording of the concert with the recorded poems and this is how this album came into being.
The poetry you can hear here, dear listeners, is in Polish. But if you don’t speak the language, don’t let this deter you from listening. The timbre of Olga’s voice and the repetition of certain phrases of the text blend with the musical layer in a way that can abstract completely from the linguistic content itself.
The graphic designs are by Lena Czerniawska.
The album is available on Bandcamp

There are new kids on the block …
Since the ancient tales, it is well known that Feral Children cannot can like regular children. Early on, they were put on a track that led away from our structured world. They have never developed what we get for granted. They cannot human. In thier music, they deliberately refuse to human, and explore fully improvised soundscapes unknown to the human ear, as if the music has never existed. They give you a glimpse into an abstract world of the shapeless inner void of two detached outcasts, reverse learn their way back, and backtrack what they cannot can, stumbling across rhythm and sound as they know it. They pick the sounds found on their path, examine them, and mindlessly stuff them into your ears. Are they tamed, domesticated kids who were all taught how to human?
Feral Children are:
Aleksander Olszewski – percussion instruments
Jan Fanfare – string instruments
