Radosław Kurzeja in his latest album “Ogród Botaniczny w Palermo” (Palermo Botanical Garden) is continuing to explore widely understood ambient music. The process of writing the music was like long-standing collage, repetitively coming back with a new piece of sound by the author. In contrast to the previous album “Noce” (Nights), the new album do not have animposed idea. The work at “Ogród Botaniczny w Palermo” was an intuitional searching of a consistent narration with sources in private life, music(Christian Fennesz, David Sylvian, Ryūichi Sakamoto), literature (Raymond Roussel, Matteo Collura) and movies (Italian neorealism). The whole album is like a story made of memories, myths of journeys and adventure.
