Nočné oscilácie pre jedného, “Nocturnal oscillations for one”, is a set of four compositions by Jonáš Gruska, recorded in the analog study of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. Works have emerged from many evening studio meditations and mainly reflect intimate topics, such as loneliness and the contrast of a human being amongst machines.
The studio was founded in the 1950s and has a large range of various (laboratory) equipment used for production, processing and recording of electronic sounds. All pieces are made in the studio with the use of analogue tape machines.

Reviews
“This time synthesist Jonáš Gruska enters the world of electronic music in its earliest, rawest and the most abstract form, full of cold, angular proto-beats and laboratory oscillations. Sounds like lost gem recorded in Cologne in the early 50’s that just got unearthed from some vast archive. Analog electronics is great electronics.”
