therainwillcome is an experimental electronic composer, poet, and cultural researcher born in Poznań, Poland (b. 1984). His practice spans ambient and cross-genre music composition, multilingual poetry, mythopoetic writings, lyrics, eco-reclaimed urban photography, and visual art, exploring themes of sacredness in silence, climate change, awareness transformation, mythopoetic anthropology, ecopsychology, and impermanence-affirming cultures.
Working across English, Polish, and Japanese, he creates what he terms "linguistic shamanism"—poetry and notation systems that use innovative typography and grammar to give the language qualities of aliveness and meaning. His musical work combines electronic and acoustic sounds with processed glitches and forest sounds to produce what he describes as "mycelial ambient," creating immersive sonic environments that reflect foundational ecological and spiritual interconnection between humans and nature. His projects include over a dozen singles and EP albums (incl. Little Boy Shadow「リトル・ボーイ・シャドウ」, a meditation on paradoxical nature of humankind in the atomic age), the ongoing zine series, and various talks and workshops on Japanese music, poetry, and impermanence-affirmation. Influenced by Japanese philosophy (particularly the concept of ma/間 (pregnant space) and mujō/無常 (impermanence)), Zen Buddhism and Daoism, and Indigenous wisdom practices, his work addresses what he identifies as Western civilization's struggle with death-acceptance. He believes art can help understand death not as an end but a new beginning, using forests and mycelia as metaphors for renewal of life.
therainwillcome maintains an extremely low-carbon artistic practice. His work has been described as "creating elicited images and feelings, thought provoking and resonating as liminal spaces [are] fundamental in spiritual development".
