“I could take a deep breath there when I needed to think of something important. “To find the balance inside my head,” he explains. It was in those forests that Duda would lose himself as a child and also as an adult.
Duda has lived in Warsaw since 2000, but he spent the first 25 years of his life in Wegorzewo, a small town in northeastern Poland nestled among forests and lakes (“Carefree, calm, quiet, touristy, beautiful, gorgeous,” is his Tripadvisor-worthy summary). So I said, ‘Okay, maybe it’s time for this medieval, woodsy, foresty stuff.’” “I decided that now it was time for green,” he says.
Putting the aesthetic cart before the horse, he settled on the colour of his next album’s sleeve before he’d even written it. Every LS album sleeve has a different colour: black (Lunatic Soul I), white ( LSII), grey ( Impressions), blue ( Walking On A Flashlight Beam) and red ( Fractured and its companion album Under The Fragmented Sky). This is far from spontaneous, as illustrated by the relationship between its cover – a ghostly green photograph of trees in a wood – and the music he’s made for it.
