We present another literary project in Kilogram Records. We decided to continue the series of linking music with literature started by Mikołaj Trzaska and Marcin ¦wietlicki's album "Cierpienie i Wypoczynek". Then there was Andruchoid recorded together with Ukrainian writer and poet Yuri Andrukhovych. And now the time has come for Andrzej Stasiuk and "Kantry"

The first impulse to record this album was the order of the Internet radio COPERNIKUS. The broadcast had its Berlin premiere in November 2005. However the idea to prepare something like a radio drama with participation of Andrzej Stasiuk had appeared much earlier. Mikołaj was collecting materials for this project for a few years. In the beginning he liked Stasiuk's voice timbre and the way he reads. Never before has he met, as he calls it, "a phenomenon of absorbing boredom filled with tension".
At first they recorded fragments of the drama in the forest, then Stasiuk was sitting in the car where as he was reading the novel, he pressed accelerator pedal each time he came across a "rougher" part of the book. But most of these "sound scenes" dropped out in postproduction.
On the whole a lot has been changed and finally the album "Kantry" resembled the Berlin broadcast to a small extent. Dictaphone recordings caused the most confusion. They come from Stasiuk's journey in the Balkans: Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Dictaphone served the role of a camera. It recorded everything that was possible to record, starting with the sounds of streets in Sarajevo, conversations in a Balkan bar and finishing with the singing of a muezzin from a minaret in Sarajevo.
The music on the album is to a great extent inspired by Stasiuk's prose. There are compositions written by Trzaska to Andrzej's theater plays - they have never been used in them because of their autonomy.
"Kantry" is a free translation of Stasiuk to the music language of Trzaska. "Kantry" is a diary of a journey.
