everything is
simple
simply complex

creole city lights crawl their way
illuminate
even at night – bothers
thoughts – bothers
sleep – illuminate

it could always be more hospitable
the state that is
permanent layer
it could always be more –
hesitant acceptance
cannot, will not
remove one should not

newly formed branches preach
hesitant acceptance
viole(n)t is the colour
it could always be simpler

Arabo’ is an effort to model reality in a blend of location-specific field recordings, synthesized atmospheres, classical instruments, and spoken word poetry. More specifically, it is the coping process of the individual who gets so close to having nothing that he realizes he already has everything around him, in the all-encompassing soundscape of the everydays. It is also an 18-paragraph “audio essay”, originally intended to be listened to from start to finish. The word ‘arabo’ also translates to ‘tame, gentle’ from ancient Celtic, and is also the name of Rába, a river which flows through the city of Győr, where all of the sounds have been recorded in the first half of 2024.

Chaac has existed in a superposition of classic and experimental ambient music since early 2020. Starting from the world of modular synthesizers and sound synthesis, the practice of improvisation marks (if not guides) his creative process. Through the last 4 years of his activity, he has been selected as a special mention on the 2022 SZELEKTOR competition, played several live sets in Budapest (Központ, Susuka, A38) and Szeged, and has been a resident artist at Grasahu festival since 2021. His focus on multidisciplinary projects include visual artists and also theater professionals (so far).
