Aspiring Prague’s dark horse of a producer Ursula Sereghy & Warsaw’s very own romantic badboy Julek Ploski finally have a big pleasure to release their collaborative track 'Řeřicha'. Named after cress the plant, 'Řeřicha' has slowly grown next to the road heading towards Ursula’s debut album 'OK Box', released via Gin&Platonic - also home to Julek’s eponymous longplay opus 'spie'.

Hubert Kostkiewicz - guitar and a modest kit consisting of two effects and a looper.

This album is dedicated  to Bemma Bar as much as to any place we create to play and learn about new music, nurture community ties and host each other. Without a club infrastructure, there is no live music and without live music, an important aspect of social life disappears. We need a new cultural policy that responds to the problem of the vanishing of non-commercial spaces. We need somewhere to create and cultivate our culture.

Track "Pomylono Wklęsłość Z Wypukłością" composed for Canti Spazializzati #15 in Wrocław on October 2023, originally performed in octophony.

Strzał w kolano is a solo project that began with a concert in Lisbon back in 2017 and has recently been revived. The foundation of this project is a classical guitar (tuned quarter-tone) connected via a piezo microphone to separate guitar amplifiers. The signals emanating from the amplifiers are given distinct identities through horizontal and vertical processing or static manipulation within the texture of the sounds themselves.

Conceptually, Majchrzak is captivated by grappling with structures that are unstable, necessary, and unattainable—both controllable and beyond control. For him, composing serves as a method for pinpointing the paradoxes within composition, while improvisation tests the resilience of those paradoxes. It is a way of shaking the structure, acts of self-vandalism performed on the evolving grammar of the piece over time. All this in defense of the digressive nature of musical flow.

“It’s nothing else but a Chicago-style oberek!’ – that was my first thought when I heard the compilation ‘Bangs & Works’, an album that introduced the footwork style to a global audience. At first I was drawn by the triple, syncopated rhythm, based on the iconic sounds of the Roland TR-808 drum machine. My musical explorations have long been centering around triple rhythms of rural Poland. The clash of this archaic, distinctly Polish form with the freedom of the underground, electronic sound from the Black suburbs of Chicago seemed to aesthetically hit the perfect spot. As an anthropologist - dreamer, I also imagined that the presence of a triple rhythm in Chicago – the largest hub of the Polish diaspora in the USA – was not a coincidence. It was a result of a meeting between our native musical tradition and the musical sensitivity of the Black community in the United States. I must admit that this hypothesis was, and still is, purely my musical dream, unsupported by any scientific evidence. However, regardless of the actual roots of this fascinating phenomenon known as footwork, it is hard not to notice certain correlations between footwork and the Polish oberek tradition. This is in both cases music rather meant for dancing than for listening. It’s supposed to present a certain musical and rhythmic challenge to dancers, who can test themselves in a fun-oriented setting, where competition is an integral part. In Polish villages, these are traditional battles of village bands, while in Chicago, they are footwork battles in underground clubs. Both in the oberek and footwork, the most important are a sense of community, energy, and excitement built around dance, accompanied by a characteristic triple pulse.
Therefore, the footberk suite “Far, far in Chicago”, is intended as an imagined musical journey through time and space, where the Polish oberek and Chicago footwork find a common ground in dynamic, triple rhythms. I aim to show that the syncopated rhythm of the mazurka (or of the oberek) can sound just as contemporary and bold as the beats created for Chicago dancers. The composition is meant to be an auditory tribute to both cultures’ dance spirit and their sense of community. It is an attempt to capture the emotions that accompany both footwork dancers and participants of rural dance parties – spaces where music and dance become tools of self-expression.
To connect these two seemingly distant worlds I use a specially designed rhythmic machine. At its heart lies a rural jaz, with build-on Lem-esque pads packed with samples from the TR-808 and TR-909, as well as other electronic sounds."
