Dreamy cinema is characterized by fragmentariness, references to historical aesthetics discarded long time ago and what’s more, by plenty of psychoanalysis. “Wendy” – a project of the Grupa Etyka Kurpina / Etyka Kurpina Group – is a soundtrack to this precisely image. The narrativity and assembly composition of the music are united here with the oneiric imprecision. The new cassette by Pawlacz Perski allows the listener to immerse oneself in dense nebula woven from coils of tape of unknown content. One by one, mediated audio quotes emerge out of this dark ambient matter. They are a kind of guideposts allowing to find a fleeting sense in the twisted logic of a dream vision.
