Hania Rani Instagram – Hey everyone,
So happy to announce that my new album ‘Nostalgia’ will be out on 27th September on @gondwanarecords . You can already listen to its first track, “It Comes in Waves”. The album was recorded live with String Ensemble at the Ghosts album launch in Studio 1 of Polish Radio, Warsaw and in concert at the Roundhouse, London on October 6 & 26 2023.
I am extremely excited because this release is marking a new chapter in my artistic career as I decided to manifest it not only through music but also through my photographs and texts which are a result of the long term fascination with the space of Polish Radio in Warsaw, which has been serving me for many years as a safe haven for my recordings, as well as a motivation to engage in a dialogue with my own Eastern European identity.
The entire operation of creating this body of work was an absolute joy – starting from recording it, mixing, remixing and mastering a couple of months later, but also to visit the space afterwards and convey its essence through the lens of the analogue camera and my own eyes, expanding a usual means of expression with new tools and possibilities. The film rolls were meticulously developed and scanned at the Documentary and Film Studio in Warsaw, curated, orchestrated into a form of a booklet with Veil Projects & @nicola.cholewa and carefully printed.
On every page you will find my texts and ruminations about all the tracks, following each step of the creative process, dissecting it, explaining its origins and enmeshed trajectory. From Warsaw to London, from London to Warsaw.
For those of you based in London, you are invited to join a unique audio-visual experience. I will celebrate the release of this new album at ICA London on September 25th, playing it in full for the first time along with a specially commissioned film. The screening will be followed by a Q&A.
Big bow to the entire restless team who made my otherworldly dreams came true.
Thank you,
H
