Prologue

It could be Chernobyl, Chicago, or a dystopian near future; and it could be a world more wolf than lion, more hyena than either.
"Prologue," a video poem, based on an excerpt from book The Circus of Trust by Mark Tardi.

Director Biography - Adam Mańkowski

Ambient & experimental musician, multimedia artist, and photographer Adam Mańkowski works as Limited Liability Sounds (http://www.llsnoise.pl/). The project began in 2006 with the first official CD-R release entitled “So Hysterical!” The name "Limited Liability Sounds" is a kind of protest against the treatment of noise as a phenomenon that does not deserve the term as a musical genre. Mańkowski has always claimed that noise is something natural, which has always accompanied man and has the same rights as silence. Music from the sign LLS is a mixture of drones, experimental electronics, ambient, sometimes noise and field recordings.
 Mańkowski is also a cultural & music journalist from his years associated with different magazines and websites. In this activity, he describes himself as an insightful observer of constantly appearing avant-garde music projects.
