Bionulor

Bionulor is a one-man music project established in 2006 by Sebastian Banaszczyk. Belonging to the area of experimental music, the project is founded on the author’s own creating method called “100% sound recycling”. This means that every track is created without any instruments (whether real or virtual), solely on the basis of processing only one short fragment of a previously recorded sound material.  This material is by no means random, as it is selected according to a strictly determined conceptual key. It is mostly derived from already existing recordings which are present in the culture and constitute a sound documentation of humanity. These fragments have been discovered on old tapes, vinyl records, archives – they are sound ‘rubbish’ of the civilization.

The debut album, “Bionulor”, released in January 2009, was an attempt to rediscover early music, especially music of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, in an entirely new context. It was based solely and exclusively on the processing of sounds of classical instruments derived from already existing recordings. However, this was not meant as a reinterpretation of the works of old masters, but rather a peculiar sound archaeology, whose effects oscillated from melancholic, ascetic sound landscapes to some more abstract forms without much to do with the source material.
