MEANDERTALE by Jacek Chmiel & Lara Süß

Meandertale feels like the aural equivalent of looking through a microscope—the details you don’t hear with the naked ear, suddenly stark and in focus. Or like setting foot on an alien planet and taking the first few cautious steps into an unrecognizable landscape. The sound world that Jacek and Lara inhabit is fascinating, fearless, intrepid—it can feel equally like the beginning or the end of time, the first chapter or the last. From this point of view it’s also disconcerting, since it up-ends whatever sense we may have nurtured about narrative, and steers us remorselessly into a kind of non-dramatic continuous present. And yet we know something remarkable is going on, something we will want to re-visit, re-experience, re-consider. Unique and compelling. Chapeau!
