Woven
Jarek Kapuszinaki
"A listening ritual is a practice where we focus on listening carefully. It's meant to help us become more mindful, understand deeper, and connect emotionally and spiritually.
Woven breaks down music to its basic elements, letting us appreciate the beauty and
emotion in each sound. The musicians take special care in shaping each sound, inviting
listeners to pause and pay attention to the details of every moment. Through this, I hope
to bring a sense of calm, lightness, and joy to their minds."
