when you rub your eyes, you see things you can’t describe
________________
when you rub your eyes, you see things you can’t describe is a new album by Polish, Cologne-based composer Szymon Wójcik.
Out on 16 January 2026 via Sawyer Editions, the record emerges from an exploration of liminal zones of harmony—spaces where the traditional Western divide between major and minor becomes blurred or disappears entirely.
Working with just intonation as a structural anchor, Wójcik creates sound worlds that merge contemporary composition with the expressive contours of left-field pop. This approach is shaped through close collaboration with vocalist Sara Flindt, whose intuitive, open-ended practice allows the precisely tuned harmonies to expand into more expressive and unpredictable territories.
The album features five compositions, in which wind and string instruments, voice, guitars, pipe organ, and the ARP 2500 synthesizer blend to form a unified, complex sonic world.
...
