Marysia Osu is a Polish-born, London-based harpist, producer, and composer known for her innovative blend of classical, ambient, and jazz music. Her debut album, harp, beats & dreams, explores themes of philosophy, dreams, and the interplay between the conscious and unconscious mind. The album is an intimate journey into her inner world, composed as a series of diary-like entries that served her as a means of self-soothing and reflection. Fully self-produced, it documents her evolution as a solo composer and producer.
The Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos) is a small, brown, unremarkable-looking bird, but they possess one of nature’s finest singing voices. The English population winters in Sub-Saharan Africa in the western countries like Sierra Leon and Senegal, returning to the very same thicket they were born in arriving in early to mid-April. They spend April to the end of May mating and nesting where we can encounter the extraordinary display of the males’ courtship song, famous for his all-night broadcast.
