TriCity saxophonist & composer Michał Jan is joined fellow Polish progressive jazz trio Immortal Onion on a brand new album, "Screens", for U Know Me Records, featuring the sharp sounds of "Digital Relations".

Michał Jan Ciesielski, a young saxophonist, composer, arranger, sound engineer from TriCity, Poland, has composed, recorded and mixed an entire album, performed by Michał himself, in collaboration with the Immortal Onion trio, proving that the fusion of jazz and electronic music can yield exciting, fresh and orginal results. 

After two well received albums (“Ocelot of Salvation” in 2017 and “XD [ExperienceDesign]” in 2020), Immortal Onion have built a strong position as one of the most interesting new jazz projects from Poland, fusing jazz with film music, minimalism, fusion, electronic music, and even progressive metal.

According to Michał, "The song is totally like digital relations. At first it seems nice and easy but then it starts getting more and more complicated until it ends sooner than you’d like".

U Know Me Records is due to  release “Screens” on digital and vinyl on April 22nd.

** PRESENTING THE FIRST OFFICIAL REISSUE PROJECT FROM MUSIC IS MY SANCTUARY ***

Born out of an era of occupied squats and DIY artist spaces, the Geneva-based “total art” collective had to cross an ocean to start finding an audience.

For us, the love affair with Black Citron’s music started when we first came in contact with two of their tracks appearing on a very obscure Montreal-based compilation titled ‘L’Album Blanc Vol. 2″.

Their music was experimental and groovy. Minimal and free. Organic and electronic. A sound which you’d have a hard time defining accurately without naming tons of different other genres and bands. One thing was for sure, it sounded cutting edge even by today’s standards.

As we started digging and investigating into the story of these two tracks we soon found out that they actually didn’t originate from our home city of Montreal, but were by a group from Switzerland who recorded them here in the late 80’s in the legendary Foufounes Electriques venue.

Black Citron were a collective of artists that had core members but also had others that would appear based on the project. Musicians, Designers, Photographers. The lead singer Evelyne Schumacher mentions the label “art total” as the best definition overall of the philosophy.

We fell in love with Black Citron, their music, story and artistic approach so much that we embarked on a project to create an anthology of all their work. An archival project we are happy to announce will get an official reissue on vinyl in full collaboration with the collective from Switzerland.

As a first taste of their music, here is “Revolution Rap” released in 1986 on a 7″ private press record under the Clinik alias. An incredible slice of experimental rap / post-punk / minimal drum machines. This track somehow gained an audience in Montreal and open up some doors for the band to travel to Canada and start the cross-Atlantic collaboration.

Although the recorded history Black Citron’s music only spans four years, they made some of most daring and revolutionary songs of that era. It has been a really incredible pleasure for us to dive deep in their catalog to gather their tracks which are spread out on vinyl and cassettes.

As a second preview, a taste of the upcoming reissue project, let’s jump forward to the last record Black Citron released officially, in 1990. Feast your ears on “Les Nouveaux Bisons.

We are in the final stages of gathering tracks, photos, prints in full collaboration with the band. We are beyond excited to bring all of this stunning music together on the definitive retrospective of Black Citron’s music.

More news very soon.
