Shakali - Nivoin Viivoin (MC, 2024, Lom)

Full stream: https://shakali.bandcamp.com/album/nivoin-viivoin

Shakali is a project of Finnish, Brno-based musician Simo Hakalisto. Simo uses phonography, environmental interplay, and deep listening as an alternative way of documenting his encounters and environments. He calls it "technology-extended attention practice", to be more sensitive, present, open, and responsive through the act of listening. The tracks on this album were recorded as in situ improvisations/observations, using multiple microphones to capture the situation simultaneously. This playful exploration delves into the sonic qualities of various materials, natural rhythms, and synchronicity—observing the interaction between the recordist, objects, and their environments.
