hypno by YOY

"A journey into the jungle in the middle of a solar storm. There is so much life in one place, that your ears explode with sound like kaleidoscopes thrown into rainbow. Palindromes laugh at you from behind the trees – you are chasing yourself but you don’t know it isn’t you! We are in a club now. We dance slowly. Music scratches the ice off our faces. A girl pulls a frog out of her mouth. My swing flies into the sky. Confused objects involuntarily brought to life. The universe consists of imaginary creatures on fire. Like me. And you. We wake up on grass. The storm is over. The world is new. Our friends sleep next to us covered in lichens. There are so many of us here that if you put your ears against the ground you will hear an underground party made of everyone’s dreams." – D.

YOY is a personal project by Błażej Kotowski – musician, promoter and music researcher based in Barcelona.

He creates his music employing algorithmic approaches to pattern generation and synthesis with the use of his modular system and computer.
