Miaquirele

Miaquirele is the ambient project of Polish composer and field recordist Monika Katarzyna Supernak, whose work blends field recordings with minimalist instrumentation to create immersive organic ambient soundscapes. Drawing inspiration from forests and mountain landscapes, she crafts nature-infused ambient music where wind, water, and wildlife become essential musical elements.

Miaquirele is the ambient project of Polish composer and field-recordist Monika Katarzyna Supernak, whose music unfolds like a quiet walk through forests, riversides, and mountain paths—an intimate form of organic ambient shaped by the rhythms and textures of the natural world.

Based in Poland, Monika draws deeply from the landscapes around her. Long walks through forests and mountains, careful listening to seasonal changes, and a sensitivity to the atmosphere of place all inform her work. Under the name Miaquirele—an artistic variation of her given name—she creates nature-infused ambient music where environmental recordings are not merely decorative background elements but central expressive voices within the composition. Wind moving through leaves, distant birds, flowing water, and the subtle hum of open spaces are treated as instruments in their own right.

Her approach to composition centres on what she describes as “expressive minimalism.” Rather than dense arrangements, Miaquirele works with restraint and patience: slow-evolving structures, sparse melodic fragments, and carefully sculpted sound design that allows each sonic detail to breathe. Gentle piano figures, handpan textures, and immersive synthesizer pads gradually unfold within layered spatial environments built from field recordings. The result is ambient music with nature sounds that feels grounded and tangible, evoking both a physical landscape and an inner emotional state.

Influences on Miaquirele’s work include artists such as Emily A. Sprague, Felicia Atkinson, and Poemme, whose music similarly blurs the boundary between environmental listening and compositional form. Yet her sound remains distinctly personal—quiet, attentive, and deeply connected to the act of listening itself. Each piece functions as a sonic document of a moment: a reflection of both an external environment and an inner state of mind.

Miaquirele began releasing music in 2024 and quickly developed a recognisable voice within the emerging organic ambient scene. Her recordings resonated strongly with listeners seeking immersive, nature-connected soundscapes, leading to widespread inclusion in independent ambient playlists and communities.

She is currently signed to Signal Alchemy, an independent Canadian label specialising in organic ambient music and nature-inspired soundscapes. Within the label’s growing catalogue of international artists, Miaquirele’s work stands out for its delicate balance of minimalism, emotional resonance, and environmental presence.

At its core, Miaquirele’s music carries a quiet philosophical intention: to remind listeners of the fragility and beauty of the natural world. Through subtle compositions and attentive listening, her work invites reflection on time, stillness, and humanity’s relationship with the landscapes that surround us.
