Monika Czyżyk & Neil Luck: Almanach (Echoes) (2024)

Almanach (Echoes) is a collaboration between visual artist and filmmaker Monika Czyżyk and composer Neil Luck, bringing together musicians who transform natural materials into sound. 

The cast features Boris Müller, a German percussionist crafting instruments from stone, shell, and organic materials; Carlos Gutiérrez Quiroga, a Bolivian composer inspired by traditional clay and wooden instruments; and Jürgen Essl, an acclaimed improvising pipe organist.

A hybrid mix of docu-fiction, music video, and experimental performance, the film interweaves staged and impromptu encounters across multiple landscapes. 

More than a film, Almanach exists as a living, evolving body of work—leading to live performances in galleries, music festivals, and studios, where musicians, filmmakers, and collaborators bring its themes into real-time expression.

At its core, Almanach (Echoes) explores how human technologies—ancient and modern—collide, resonate, and create new ways of experiencing sound, space, and presence. It is an attempt to manifest joy, connection, and transformation beyond language.
