Tajnosty by holé baby

Tajnosty is the first release by Slovakian composer & documentarist Eva Sajanová aka holé baby. A 5 Track EP collaged from layers of voice and acoustic instruments, combined with hard cut digital electronics and a bricolage of phone and personal archival recordings. The music traverses themes of adolescence and navigating oneself, made in a domestic studio, absorbing and engulfing its environment from in and out. Much like Sajanová’s films the work features moments of field documents, recordings of her hometown, mourners at church, friends and collaborators. It materialises the ways in which her 'self', is cut into the music and breaks up moments of detailed production with relatable intimacies and relationships, troubled and tense, fictional and familiar. Captured largely through phone recordings Sajanová exploits the immediacy of modern technologies to record in ways that generate excitement and interruption, tipping a hat to improvisation and musique concrete. These technologies are further exploited in the composition of the pieces, experimenting with mismatched sample rates, in built compression and digital processing, accidents appear, are accepted, and then woven in. It makes for a volatile and convincing, whilst abstracted, document of the hostilities of growing up. "ako by som mohla chodiť po špičkách keď zem je láva"
