Kryštof - Diario di Vacanza (2025) [Hi-Res]

Krystof is the nom de plume of Polish-born composer, producer and DJ Krzysztof Skonieczny. After a decade in London, Krystof relocated to the remote, serrated landscape of La Palma, in Spain’s Canary Islands. There he came into possession of a piece of land scattered with natural caves – one of which became his home and recording studio.

It was here that Krystof wrote his debut album, 𝑫𝒊𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒐 𝒅𝒊 𝑽𝒂𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒛𝒂. This record is a paean to the fertile terrain of La Palma, replete with its tangled networks of hiking paths, minas galerias (water tunnels), black sand beaches and banana groves.

Recordings of these spaces, melded with modular synthesis and electronic composition, form the basis for Krystof’s work. These are soundscapes that hum with volcanic activity, bubble, burst and chatter – cooling to reveal locations, impressions, and fragments of a shared lived experience on the island.
