PREMIERE: Ola Szmidt’s Rooted Explorations (Luthor Remix) - Official Video by Andy Harper. Watch the video now, via the 🔗in bio. After making her debut on Accidental Records with the release EP3 in 2022, @olaszmidt_ curated a remix collection focusing on one of her most personal tracks, Rooted. DJ/producer Luthor (@luthordub ) delivers a hypnotic rework, where earthy rhythms and deep, low-end frequencies which wrap around Szmidt’s floating vocals for an immersive, almost primal experience. It’s a heady fusion of textures that pulls you in and doesn’t let go. From the perspective of the director Andy Harper (@isandyharper ) “the video is an attempt to reflect the journey that Ola has been on. Observing Ola’s health journey and her bold decision to uproot herself from her home country to pursue a career as a musician in the UK, I was reminded of an important truth: all of life is beautiful, fragile and fleeting yet resilient in its capacity for change. Always moving, never fixed.”

🌬️🙏🏻🧡C Tactile was a result of mentoring from Kieran. He encouraged me to take my voice and soul on a journey in a studio to experiment and challenge myself more. I spent hours exploring various ways of processing my voice and pushing myself as a producer: learning and learning and practicing for hours. It became a healthy obsession with sound art to be fair! Always and forever grateful for KH support. It gives me wings and I feel so fortunate. It is a synchronicity and serendipity all at once. I listen to @fourtetkieran playlist every month over the last couple of years and I discovered a lot of inspiring music on there. Through finding my creative voice as a composer another door opened= i got appreciated and supported by dream label for my crazy, musical endeavour : Accidental. In the meantime my intuition and inner voice got stronger so I decided to push myself as a sound therapist through reiki healing training, vibrational therapy studies and now studying acupuncture. Finished first year BSc 🥳surrounded by beautiful souls and with Ep3 launch ahead could not be more smiley 😊 I like light, vibrations and helping people, that is all! What a year! Last week I renewed my passport with the most energised soul and goofy attitude! In my element of Fire, so deserving a good summer 🔥🌞✨🌈🌊 🏊‍♂️ See you at the launch! #tothesummer #smileandcarryon😊

💐🌳Today marks 6th year anniversary of "Better Future" artwork photographed in pandemic on the carpet in our lounge, song was broadcasted first time @bbc6music @gillespeterson , recently it was celebrated and broadcasted @pawelkostrzewa on his first returned show @trojka_polskieradio "Trójkowy Ekspress" -legendary and one that inspired me through my entire late teens. The song became my first ever independent sync for tv series: Goliath on Amazon 🪽🌀🩵+ birth of beautiful friendships with wonderful Stacey and Thomas based in Los Angeles ❤️ As an artist I work through and with painful moments, behind the scenes of this song are: migraine and sore throat on 22nd of April 2019 , Earth Day. It was a birthday present for my sister Julia I did record all piano layers, vocals and wrote lyrics that afternoon and same day I went to press record and bring all the layers with the lyrics into final version shared with the rest of the world one year later. The score under our feet on the final version of the art cover is John Cage's "In a landscape" and Toby Colcombe photographed us ❤️ You can listen via @bandcamp + all streaming platforms 🪽 Here are lyrics Have a little faith in yourself Ocean is deep like your mind We can get lost in the darkness I promise to take you out from there I am gathering positive energy I follow you, you follow me even we don't have to speak I follow you, you follow me even we don't have to speak Have a little Have a little faith I am running to forest to recharge your mind I will find you if you are getting lost I will follow you I grab you from dark dark it's alright Just to let it go I follow you you follow me I follow you you follow me I follow you you follow me I follow you you follow me

On 🩺👁️👁️Earth Day 🌍🌳"Yogi" 🎧 I tried to write about this piece several times, but each attempt felt like I would intrude, as if language might disturb something that prefers to remain hidden. Perhaps some things are not meant to be explained, only encountered. This work took shape during a workshop with Daniel Lopatin @eccopn in a space where the usual boundaries of thought softened @school_of_song 💙 I followed what surfaced from beneath: deeply listening to puzzles of my reality and quiet signals from a deeper place got louder and clearer. I pressed record button staying and listening, I began to recognise my inner landscape 🏞️ I leaned towards it with eyes of the mind closed but eyes of the soul wide open 🌀 If you listen, perhaps you will meet something of your own there @bandcamp ♐️🌈 🇵🇱 Próbowałam opisać ten utwór kilka razy, ale każda próba wydawała się naruszeniem. Tak jakby język mógł zakłócić coś, co woli pozostać ukryte. Być może są rzeczy, których nie należy wyjaśniać, a jedynie doświadczać. /album/yogi Ta praca zaczęła się kształtować podczas warsztatów z Danielem Lopatinem w przestrzeni, gdzie zwykłe granice myślenia zaczęły się rozmywać 💙🪽 Podążałam za tym, co wyłaniało się z głębi: uważnie słuchając zagadek mojej rzeczywistości, ciche sygnały z głębszego miejsca stawały się coraz głośniejsze i wyraźniejsze. Nacisnęłam record button pozostając tam. Zaczęłam rozpoznawać swój wewnętrzny krajobraz. Zwróciłam się ku niemu z oczami umysłu zamkniętymi, ale oczami duszy szeroko otwartymi Jeśli posłuchasz, być może spotkasz tam coś swojego
