Biography
Ols is a one-woman project, entirely created by the author, who composes, arranges, writes lyrics, sings and plays instruments, which makes the music created by her very personal and full of authentic feelings and emotions.
The origins of the project go back to the late 2015. Then, the first musical and lyrical ideas appeared, the first arrangements have been created and the initial home recordings’ been made.
Finally, the complete material was recorded in “NS Studio” in Nowy Sącz between April and July 2016.
The easiest way to describe Ols’ songs would be to call it a neofolk, but in the compositions and arrangements many elements of ambient or alternative music could also be found. Even some very distant echoes of atmospheric black metal appear there, which makes its particular genre difficult to define.
Particular songs are based on complex, multi-part vocal harmonies, partly inspired by, among others, Orthodox church music. They are complemented by sparingly used, but distinctive instrumental parts uplifting their ritual and hypnotic character.
The lyrics written entirely in Polish are based on issues related to nature, sadness, loneliness, love and death.
The main inspiration behind the creation of this project is nature in all its manifestations and human feelings, conceived as its integral part.
The project was developed in response to the need to appeal to the roots and to discover the sources of one’s sensibility. When there is no way to find them in reality, all that remains is to create one’s own vision of tradition, individual ideas of antiquity and authenticity.
