"After reading about the Lech and looking at the images, my first impulse was to change or add nothing - just let the sound be - like it is... It took a while until i thought: Ok Lech - I'll "visit" you and bring some silent sounds - like the sounds that might show up in your head, when you are in nature. 

"So I layered, spoken word, singing of different melodies that did not necessary fit, a bit piano and let it meet the Lech - but so, so silent that you can hardly hear it - is there something? or not? Did I hear something else? what was that? 

"I did not change the recording of the Lech, it is exactly like it was recorded, just a bit shortened, because I wanted this piece to be an instant, like a blink of an eye.
