George Cristian Vilela Pereira writes: Here's a journey to the center of your mind... but in a cosmic archeology of sounds that comes from very engaging musicians. One of the best meeting between violin and synthesizers you may find...! Favorite track: cetacean audiology.
Rudy Carrera (Miscelanny of Tasteful Music) writes: The album has four compositions which are about as gentle and pleasing as anything I’ve heard in the past few years. It’s farther out than, say, Kosmische Musik, yet elegantly restrained. This is music for taking an inner journey and finding what terrain lies inside of yourself. Favorite track: beacons of the blood (cri du sang)
This is our Ariadne's Thread. Taken as metaphor for a trace, a trail, a mnemonic trick, a memory palace. I set out to let the sound of the violin play the role of the thread in the matrix (maze, the labyrinth of the synthesizer). I take the lead in following. I follow the lead by listening. The relation is fluid, morphean. You will have your own take on it all.
Enjoy the soulful playing of Karolina Ossowska on violin.
Seeing the thread metaphorically or symbolically, archetypally, I've
articulated through the titles various imaginary realms of mapping.
ουρανογραφια: sky maps, heaven-ward and or celestial cartography -- connecting drifting photonic clusters of autonomous elementals in relation to one another in the course of one's life, finding one's self -- a miracle thread from ariadne -- the mother of the mother of god -- coil'd in the genome-- a miracle thread from ariadnean arachne spider-lady in the labyrinth -- a echolocating land mammal re-writing it's destiny by evolving into the oceans and sounding submarinely -- our themes...
you may develop or evolve your own while listenin...

P.S. Further commentary by George Christian Vilela Pereiera arrives:
"Ariadne's Thread", new album by Jeff Gburek and Karolina Ossowska, is a brilliant demonstration of fulfilled unity between the sounds of Gburek's modular synthesizer and Ossowska's violin. To say that it's "cosmic" might be redundant. I'd say that the drones created by the synth work are of real highly imaginative sensibility towards the textural and tone qualities that’s increasingly complex on spectral exploration (as he says, a “maze”). The “thread” of the violin increases the sense of a challenging existence, with a melancholy that’s prevalent in every piece, as much as a melodic sensibility that blends Eastern and Western worlds. That’s not a “new-agey” and “fluffy” meditative music, though. “Ariadne’s Thread” is an orphic meditation made in a world that at a stake. Though it’s not a long album (in fact, it feels more like an EP) and not a very much challenging listening, it’s not weak music at all. As the poetic titles infers, it’s a trance-inducing listening, but with real soulful qualities, speaking lots for the mind, the heart, and the soul. A demonstration of strength."
