  • All works were composed and produced by Johannes Vogel and Annamaria Kowalsky.
    The album unfolds as an alternating dialogue: Johannes sends a track, Annamaria responds, and so on — ten transmissions in a shared electronic field.

  • SIGNAL / RE:SPONSE is not a collection of isolated pieces, but a structured exchange.
    Each track listens to the one before it and answers through transformation rather than imitation.
    The result is a living system of low frequencies, pulse, interference, and recalibration — an exploration of communication rendered in sound.

  • The album is released on Soundcreation, the independent label founded by Johannes Vogel and Annamaria Kowalsky, dedicated to concept-driven contemporary and electronic works.

  • SIGNAL / RE:SPONSE is available on all major streaming platforms and digital stores, and directly via Soundcreation.

Olfactospheres for symphony orchestra, composed by Annamaria Kowalsky

OLFACTOSPHERES

  • Olfactospheres for symphony orchestra

    1. Ylang-Ylang Vapour

    2. Strong Mint

    3. Obscure Patchouli

    4. Black Pepper

    All works are published by Universal Edition.

  • It was performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra under the baton of Johannes Vogel at the renowned Abbey Road studios.

  • One of the most remarkable facets of Olfactospheres lies in its recording technique, which challenges conventions within the classical music domain. Traditionally, classical compositions are recorded with the entire ensemble playing together, preserving the organic ebb and flow of a unified performance. However, for Olfactospheres, Kowalsky boldly adopted techniques more typical of film scoring—such as using a click track and striping. This multifaceted approach not only redefines the recording process but also elevates the EP into a realm of its own.

    • Olfactospheres

    • String Quartet No. 1

  • Two pieces (Dreams of Lunacy & Archipelago) were performed by me. The other pieces were performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra under the lead of Johannes Vogel.

  • It was recorded at the iconic Studio 2 at Abbey Road Studios in London.

  • Kaleidoscope offers an extraordinary sonic journey that transcends traditional stereo formats. By harnessing the power of Dolby Atmos and binaural mixing, the music takes on a whole new dimension, immersing listeners in an intimate and immersive experience that goes beyond CDs or vinyl.

    Dolby Atmos revolutionizes sound by precisely positioning and moving sound as dynamic objects within a three-dimensional space. This meticulous control creates an immersive atmosphere where every element of the music breathes and interacts, enveloping listeners from all directions.

    In headphone listening, binaural mixing brings remarkable realism by simulating how sound interacts with the human ear. Instruments and voices materialize in their respective positions, with some seemingly floating around the listener or whispering in their ear. This technique creates an illusion of being present within the music, adding a captivating level of intimacy.
