On Selva Oscura, cellist Julia Bilat pushes the instrument into dark and unstable terrain, drawing out splintered harmonics, rough bow textures, and resonant drones with striking physical intensity. The solo recording unfolds like a passage through shadow, intimate, tense, and deeply immersive, revealing Bilat’s ability to balance fragile detail with sudden bursts of force.
Julia Biłat - Cello, voice, improvised compositions.
