LAVA Lukas Lonski

We don’t quite know at what point the Earth’s molten interior becomes “LAVA”. Lukas Lonski doesn’t (anymore) either. But he is fascinated by the glowing, liquid state of rock. It’s a metaphor - a simple analogy for what he seeks in sound: warmth, space, gravity, flow. An arrangement of different forces. Dark light. A hot core within a cold environment.

Staring into the fire. Watching the last remnants of organic matter release their final flames and slowly — always too slowly - fade into embers. In 2026, ambient music offers us an option to respond to the world with a soundtrack. Not animation for action, but pause, gather, glow.

From the sounds of an old Korg PolySix, an analog Moog delay, a Tanzbär drum machine, a touch of spring reverb, one or two cymbals, a guitar, an old double bass, fragments of his voice and other devices - these are the ingredients for Lukas Lonski’s five pieces, LAVA. Flow and omnipotence; destruction and the preparation of ground for something new.
