Paul Hares - The Magic of Awareness (2019)

"Honestly, I have no idea what I need to write about myself and this release... Let me try a little... I am Russian, I was born in the province of Balakovo, in the city of Balakovo, and I am here until now. I was growing up listening to actual jungle and break beat cassettes at that time, trying to knock rhythms with sticks on books. My friend made cassette recordings of everyday moments with humor, forging the film by pressing the buttons of the stop and playback, apparently from there came my love for the aesthetics of film distortion. Now I am actively involved in experimental dance, I do not limit myself in musical genres when I create something from music. I love analogue effects pedals, live instruments, hatha yoga practice, throat singing, I love to talk and talk about esoteric themes. Also there is interest in video editing as another means of self-expression. There is little to say about this particular album - it's just another mix, a collection of my improvisations and experiments without any special meanings and messages - I think it's more a matter of perception of the listeners. I am a supporter of the fact that all creativity flows through us, and not done by us and the whole thing as a guide." - Paul Hares
