"The track was influenced by both the field recording and the recording artist’s description. Tomasz describes walking with friends through the famous gardens of Schönbrunn in Vienna on a “beautiful, warm Saturday,” which immediately shaped my approach. Warm Saturday felt like a natural title, capturing both the mood and memory of the recording.
"I usually lean towards ambient or experimental when working with field recordings. But this time I wanted to create something that complemented the atmosphere rather than abstracting it too much. My goal was not just to react to the sounds but to immerse myself in their mood - to compose a track I might listen to while walking in the gardens myself (minus the field recording of course - I hope that doesn’t sound contradictory!)
"One of the most interesting aspects of working with field recordings is the way they transport you. I’ve never been to Austria, and I considered looking up the gardens online, but decided not to. Instead, I let the recording shape my perception. The flurry of voices, footsteps on gravel, and environmental sounds painted their own picture - one that existed only in my mind.
"This process ties into the themes of Sonic Heritage in how sound both preserves and transfers an experience. The act of listening becomes a way of traveling, even to places we’ve never been, inspiring a piece of music that might not have existed otherwise."
