Igor Karaca - Places of Power and Silence (2026) Hi-Res

Presented in four works, Places of Power and Silence by Bosnian-American composer, pianist and sound designer Igor Karača is a meditation on a single day spent outdoors, a quiet journey shaped by sound, space and the shifting character of nature. The music features a blending of synthesized textures with field recordings and subtle instrumental layers, resulting in an immersive, meditative soundscape. Each piece reflects a moment in this day-long arc: from the gentle awakening of the morning landscape and its pastoral calm, through episodes of tension as weather builds on the horizon, to the deep stillness that follows a passing storm. These environments become 'places of power' through their raw presence and emotional resonance; they become 'places of silence' through the spaciousness and introspection they inspire. By merging subtle electronic patterns with the unrepeatable rhythms of nature, the album seeks to create a meditative experience that feels both intimate and expansive. It is an invitation to step outside, to listen deeply, and to rediscover the grounding beauty found in the world's quiet transitions.
