"Smoking Cigarettes with God"

Mindmix began in 1998 at a military unit in Poznań, where teenage rehearsals sparked a psychedelic journey. Though never properly recorded, Adam kept creating—duos, solo tapes, cosmic jams. Inspired by krautrock and noise legends, he built an underground legacy. In 2025, he revived Mindmix on Soundcloud. We remember when others forgot.

Adam Majdecki-Janicki (ur. 1985) – poeta, autor tekstów i niezależny muzyk związany z nurtem freak-folku oraz eksperymentalnej piosenki autorskiej. Od końca lat 90. prowadzi intensywną działalność artystyczną, koncentrując się na tworzeniu utworów opartych na żywym instrumentarium, głównie gitarowym, oraz na eksploracji form narracyjnych i lirycznych. Jego twórczość charakteryzuje się połączeniem prostoty folkowej pieśni z elementami psychodelii, ironii i mistycyzmu. W warstwie tekstowej operuje językiem pełnym symboli, odniesień kulturowych i osobistych mitologii, często nawiązując do tradycji kontrkulturowej. Wydał szereg albumów w Polsce i za granicą (m.in. Stoned Gypsy Wanderer, Demoludy, Eimi), które stanowią świadectwo jego konsekwentnego poszukiwania autentycznej, niezależnej formy wypowiedzi artystycznej.

"No elevators to Eden".

Composer, lyricist, published poet, sound artist, improviser, recording artist. Since 1998.

Also known as @ajkaufmann.

My first encounter with ambient music was a happy accident in 2001. At the time, I was working for a company that managed the SNEP catalog: the French National Union of Photographic Publishers. We received entire boxes of new music on CD from most of the country's record labels. One of my colleagues was a music fanatic and had a keen ear for finding interesting works. One day, he put on Recoloured - The Remix Album by Nils Petter Molvaer.
I was expecting electro-jazz, but one track on the album really touched me. I'd never heard music like it before: "Kakonita" by Deathprod Mix, aka Helge Sten, a Norwegian musician. That's how I discovered ambient music.

Alongside my musicology studies at the University of Paris 8
I played bass and guitar in small clubs and cafes in the Paris région. Interested in ambient for a long time, I started to really compose it since 2023
in my small home studio.
My next goal is to be able to practice and create ambient in the street, to do featuring and improvise;
