Poland (boo) based musician and co-label head. Love da movies.

Label: https://oklarecords.com (accepting demos!)
Music: https://wounds.bandcamp.com
Soft sounds spread like fog through the hall where, gradually, the non-performing Philharmonic players merged with the audience.
"306" finds the connection between the musicality of an excellent saxophonist and the field recordings of a rich soundscape.

Like looking at an old photograph when dreaming; the flow of sonic vapour is at the same time familiar and new. The sound gardens sprout with new meaning every listen, their free compositions unraveling in patience and glistening with promise.

We’re happy to present two albums from our beloved (cough) Poland, an eclectic long-form drift through a horizon flattened by the immense perspective of time, and a discordant entity playing by its own rules, clashing digital precision with analogue rawness.
The albums release this Friday, the 27th.

Halo dzień dobry, jako prawdziwy białas rozpoczynam podcast. Gadamy o filmach raczej mniej znanych, zmóżdżamy się a na koniec dokładamy do tego double feature a raczej PODWÓJNE UDERZENIE.

Pierwszy odcinek jest już dostępny. Kolejne co środę.

Happy to have you on, James. I hope it finds an audience, the mood you've created through these finding tracks is truly powerful.

Batch4 on okla is out today. We've got two belters from opposite spectrums.. or are they? @mutebranches.bsky.social explores the external through post-post-rock lens and Heroarky maps a journey of healing through field recordings and synth lowercase sounds.
Cass and digital dl now. Streaming later.

“Arising Path” from “Healing Process”, a drony interlude layering warm synths, and far-away, fluttery field recordings.
March 20, 2025 at 1:55 PM
New tracks are now playing. Full batch releases next week on Friday!

“To Replace the Empty Space” from “Us Without the World” by @mutebranches.bsky.social , a moody, somber but comfortable dance between guitars, lowkey drums, and singing synths.

"A vulnerable, minimalistic voyage of an ailing body and resilient mind. Raw, imperfect, and restorative, reminding us of the fragile yet constant rhythm of life."

"Confined to bed, he dreamt of spaces. The sounds he longed for, from bustling cityscapes to quiet forests, formed a collection, the basis of an imaginary map of a healing journey."

Available on limited cassette and Bandcamp-exclusive digital download.

OA09 / Heroarky ~ Healing Process

"“Healing Process”, created between hospital visits and treatments, is an intimate soundscape filled with swirling, warm, synthesizers, and raw heartbeat recordings - capturing the pain, the hope, the stillness, and the resilience of healing."

"Nine cinematic tracks ranging from warm fuzzy drones, colourful electronica, radio-sampled audio collage, retro-futuristic daydreams, drifty slowcore, up to dark ambient meditations."

Available on limited cassette and Bandcamp-exclusive digital download.

OA08 / @mutebranches.bsky.social ~ Us Without the World

"An exercise in optimism weighed down by realism, searching the stars for hope only to find the baggage we brought with us. Synths, guitars, samples, and voice come together creating a sense of place in full, glorious stereo."

Got an all-timer of a review for my recent album "Plasticene". What a thrill to have someone really resonate and mull over one's work. Blessed.

And if you're not convinced, there's A LOT of other cooler albums mentioned in the post.
