Polaroid Notes - Snippets of Two Trees Remaining (Edition DWI)

Edition DWI is a new series of recordings from the netlabel Drone Works International. The releases focus on specific themes related to nature and its secrets, its constant change, destruction and renewal. Each album is an acoustic statement that invites the listener to listen attentively and with quiet introspection. The first release on Edition DWI is by Polaroid Notes. The album ‘Two / Trees / Remaining’ deals with the transformation and changes of our forests, whether through human intervention or natural forces. It has been scientifically proven that forests suffer particularly from global warming. A sad example of the destructive power of extreme weather events happened in October 2018 in South Tyrol/Trentino, Italy, with a storm called Vaia, which devastated and deforested entire mountain slopes within a short period of time, changing the landscape drastically. ‘Two / Trees / Remaining’ is an elegy to this dramatic event, which left deep scars on the mountain landscape and in the hearts of its inhabitants. But it also testifies to the vitality of nature and the people who live there, creating something new out of destruction and pain. The ten tracks of this album reflect this contradiction in minimalist, subtly accented piano compositions with contrasting sublime ambient soundscapes. The artist himself witnessed the changes in this wonderful mountain region over many years through repeated visits before and after the storm disaster. Tracklist: 01. Two / Trees / Remaining / 02.
