Whispering House is a very special track on my album which I had the pleasure to create and compose with a very special artist and human being – @olafurarnalds. Last year, during my stay in Iceland for another project I bumped into Óli in a local restaurant and we planned to meet the next evening to listen to some of my new tracks. Some time earlier I asked him if he would like to join me on one of my songs but we hadn’t really planned when and how to do it. A coincident encounter in Reykjavik was a good excuse to move it ahead. I came the next day to Ólafur’s studio and we listened to one of the tracks. He said “Hania, this sounds great already. Why don’t we make something from scratch? I would rather create something with you then add a line on top”. I was very surprised because I would never dare to ask for such a profound contribution – I suspected that this might be too much for Óli, regarding his tight schedule but apparently I was wrong. I said “Alright, I will be back in 2 weeks”. We met again in late October and spent the whole day simply improvising and jamming with each other. It felt just so good, natural and fun. We both felt easy and happy and simply enjoyed every second of creating something in such a genuine and free way. I was acting cool but inside my heart was racing like crazy – it felt unreal. We came up with a couple of ideas but it was the last song that really felt right and fresh. The main motif was intonated by Ólafur on his famous Korg synthesizer and we loved the ambiguous and quiet character of it so much that we basically started to improvise on both of the pianos simultaneously – me on the small pianola and Ólafur on the Kawai upright. Instead of staying at the keyboard for the whole time I decided to record my vocals on top which we cut and looped later on. The whispery vocals melted gently into the soft sounds of Korg and Juno, tangled with celestial passages of tiny pianola and warm chords played on his Kawai. I adored the result and felt that we managed to come up with something new for both of us which made me really excited.
On October 6th, we celebrated the release of “Ghosts” at the very special Studio 1 of Polish Radio. The film of this sold-out event will be broadcasted this Saturday evening on @gondwanarecords’ Youtube channel. I can’t wait to share it with you!

The first 2 weeks of the tour passed so quickly that it felt like 3 days. Not that it was only a smooth road and balmy sounds but just probably it was so busy and exciting. We definitely suffer from sleep deprivation and cheese overdose (due to the visit to France and Switzerland last week) but otherwise it just feels so good to be able to bring this new set on tour to such magnificent venues. Thanks to everyone who has joined us so far and looking forward to the next stops (this week Budapest, Prague, Berlin and Brussels!). 1. Wrocław, NFM by Natalia Pawłucka 2. Luzern, KKL 3. Warsaw, Studio S1 4. Poznań 5. Luzern 6. Nancy 7. Katowice, NOSPR 8. Paris, Salle Pleyel 9. Gdańsk 10. Vienna, Konzerthaus
