“Why are you silent, Lenka?” you ask. Well, okay, no one is actually asking. That’s one of the reasons why I’m not that active online – I don’t think anyone, except for me, really cares about Kotołak. Not that I’m crying over it. Kotołak is meant to bring joy primarily to me. I’ve grown out of linking my sense of self-worth to musical success. And I immediately started being a happier person and a better musician. I have people close to me around, so I don’t need applause from random people on the internet. Actually, I’ve realized I never needed it.
Back to the point… why am I silent? Disappearing from social media? The answer is embarrassingly simple……I’m working.I’m working on both new and old material, and at an internship. If I want to stay there, I have to put in some effort. And I do want to… I need some cash for new toys.Right now, I’m finishing writing “Patiarchat” on “Wiwat aktywizm”. Also I`ve started working on the title track of “Co ty wiesz o samotności” (pl. What Do You Know About Loneliness?) Besides that, I’m practicing regularly. The more I practice, the easier it gets to compose. On top of that, I maintain a social life and go to jam sessions.Yes… there are so many valuable things to do besides sitting on the internet.Some toys are on their way to me, and I’m already excited to see them. Soon, a package of virtual instruments will land on my computer, and that’s when the recordings will really kick off.As you can see – I’ve got stuff to do. First the material, then the fooling around online.
