Description

“What matters is the journey, not the destination.” — Constantine P. Cavafy

Guilty Paradise is an almost 30-minute, fascinating glimpse into Michał Fundowicz’s journey to Japan. There, in the city of Kobe, he met Tim Olive, and over the course of three days they recorded the material that eventually took shape as Guilty Paradise.

Both artists engage in improvisation: Tim Olive works with magnetic pickups, oscillator and tuning forks, while Michał Fundowicz manipulates cassette tapes.

What can one expect from this collaboration? The two extended pieces that emerged (GP-1 & GP-2) navigate a wide spectrum of sounds—noise, fragments, and textures—woven together with remarkable finesse. The result unfolds like a slow-moving, sci-fi dystopian landscape: immersive, exploratory, and quietly adventurous.
