You've had a major influence on how I perceive and absorb music, Mariusz. Thank you for all the beautiful music through the years and for so often finding exactly the right tone. I will happily support every track that comes available.
I got to see Riverside for the first times (twice) in Karlsruhe and Schorndorf in the last year, and it was everything I hoped it would be.

I was just looking for material to write stuff about Lunatic Soul (♥) and realized Mariusz Duda started composing songs under his name. Nice surprise.

about
Music can be experienced in many ways. Some compositions are best observed and admired like works of art. Others are like a scent you wear. Then there are those that get under your skin, fill you up and become a part of who you are. There are as many ways to find music connection and understanding as there are souls. For me, the most intimate, "subcutaneous" compositions have always been the ones with calm, subdued vocals performed with acoustic guitar or piano accompaniment. I would like to start a cycle of such songs with the one called "The Song of a Dying Memory".
"Subcutaneous songs" is a collection of compositions not connected with Riverside or Lunatic Soul. It's an opportunity to create a different music world. Yes, it will draw influences from those known worlds but it will also be the beginning of a new path, a new dimension, a new way to search for peace.
The songs will be released once in a while. Detached from the framework of an album release, they shall resemble puzzle pieces, fragments of something bigger, which will take shape later. For now, let them be, let them exist, listen to them and let them enter your consciousness. And once there are enough of them, maybe we'll put them nicely together, combining them with a different form of art.
I hope you will find a part of yourself here.

lyrics
THE SONG OF A DYING MEMORY
Started to lose bit by bit
All I had left of you
All I had cherished and adored
Got blurry
I felt the kiss of the heat
Fading on your cracked lips
Whispers that had kept me alive
I ceased to hear
Stay with me
Just for another day
For I believe I love you still
Yesterday
Eyes of the rivers dried up
Denial fell apart
And like the iceberg melted down
Burnt by the sun
Dying of hunger that night
Somehwere on the ocean shore
Admiring colours
In the sky
The dream had gone
Stay with me
Just for another day
For I believe I love you still
Yesterday
Stay with me
Just for another day
For I believe I love you still
Yesterday

Hi. Perhaps you've heard me in Riverside, maybe you know me from Lunatic Soul. Here, in this place, I'd like to create a completely different music world, connected mainly with electronic music and, occasionally, with... songs :) Welcome!

Time Flies, the centerpiece of the great album The Incident, is done acoustically here to great effect. Stripped of much of its production, the song still shines in its introspective lyrics and rhythms. mattbeth79

I absolutely LOVE Dark Matter and think it is one of PT's best early tracks that holds up to even their best work in the early 2000s, and this particular live performance is sublime! kilimajaro

I first saw them a year later at the Moonloop launch in London with Kava Kava. PT played on ground level with the audience of about 60. These early recordings are where it all started. Stoked :)) matt1098
