Katov Syn(th) — Tu, kde žijem, žiješ, žijeme
Katov Syn(th) is the project of Dominik Novák, a Slovak ambient musician also known from the bands Blackwood Incident and Kúpel Mysle, who primarily works with modular synthesizers. His first solo album, „Tu, kde žijem, žiješ, žijeme“, is an ode to change, nostalgia, and the quiet fear of forgetting as our connections with home, surroundings, and loved ones shift over time. Following his live set „Skrz hory melanchólie“, which explored the transformations of his hometown—Bratislava—this release immerses listeners in dreamy analog textures and patterns, crafted from Eurorack synths, occasional tape loops, and local field recordings. It’s a journey through altered space-time, holding space for memories and hope for a vibrant, possibly more colourful future.
