Basalt is a duo project from 2001. There are only a few tracks which still exist of this project. Somehow I found this in my archives the last days and think it´s still worth to share. Could be possible this also has been out on a compilation back then. I have 2-3 other tracks I will share the next weeks.

Meeting By Chance AKA Skalpel’s Marcin Cichy debuts on Apollo with a gorgeous EP of soulful atmospheric electronica, suffused with aching negative space, softly ticking rhythms and dulcet piano.

Classically trained on piano since his youth and one of the youngest Polish National TV music composers ever, Marcin quickly developed a taste for electronic music, composing soundtracks for some of Poland’s influential and pioneering video artists throughout the 80s and 90s.

But it was when he founded the acclaimed jazz duo Skalpel with Igor Pudło in 1998 that things really got going. Over the course of their three albums and many EPs to date Scalpel have won huge acclaim, signing to Ninja Tune, and, winning Poland’s most prestigious cultural award Paszport POLITYKI as well as performing with Mira Calix, Clark, Kronos Quartet and AUKSO Orchestra among many others.

Following a serious skateboarding accident, Marcin backbone was broken in two places which meant a year spent between a bed and on a wheelchair. This period saw the beginning of his solo career as Meeting by Chance (the name inspired by a series of pictures by Duane Michals showing the reaction of two men crossing in an alley).

In contrast to Skalpel’s more jazz infused upbeat vibe MBC finds Marcin exploring the combination of delicate textural sound design with enveloping billowy pads and ethereal piano chords. Cichy displays an introspective lightness of touch that is quite rare in today’s bombastic modern electronica which is most welcome and perfectly fits in with Apollo Records.

Quote from cult hero @peter-power about this new @andiotto release:

"Nothing like a new album from Andi in the dropbox to perk the senses up on a long stopover in Bogota airport ...what delicious fruits are in store???
Manu Roto is such peach. Electro-magnetically hypnotised yet still feeling live and alive with lush instrumentation. Riding a rising wave of euphoric tension, It's truly a wonder how such a slow track can chug with such rippling gravity. 

What a treat to discover a piece of music that nestles so dearly with the other little peaches in ones music collection.... instantly knowing that it will have a happy home for many a moon to come....waiting patiently for those rare moments on the dance floor when the atmosphere is just right for such little peaches to come out and play...

...such love!"
