In The Wee Small Hours

Alice in Wonderland is my jazz arrangement for double bass, piano, and drums - here I bring together the warmth of acoustic sound and the spontaneity of improvisation. This piece is a deeply personal exploration of rhythm, harmony, and interplay between the three instruments, all performed and recorded by myself.

"Dear Old Stockholm" – my unique jazz arrangement for double bass, piano, and drums, where I give this classic tune a fresh sound and a personal touch. This is my own interpretation—blending lyrical melody, deep groove, and spontaneous improvisation.
Every instrumental part - from the warm piano chords to the pulsing walking bass and delicate brushwork on the drums - was performed and recorded by me. Inspired by legendary jazz renditions, I infused this version with both intimacy and expressive energy.

"Miasteczko Bełz" – a timeless melody reimagined in a jazz arrangement for piano, mandolin, double bass, and drums. This piece preserves the soul of tradition while embracing the freedom of improvisation, blending rich harmonies with a deep and genuine sound.

In my interpretation, I aimed to capture both the nostalgic essence of the original and the expressive possibilities of jazz. The warm sound of the piano, the resonant double bass, and the delicate brushwork on the drums create an intimate yet dynamic atmosphere. The mandolin, taking on the lead melody, brings a bright and expressive voice to the piece while also adding a shimmering texture in the background, enriching the arrangement with its unique timbre.

Music has been a part of my life since childhood - learning, experimenting, and playing various instruments along the way. I graduated from music school, and my experience in choral singing, playing in bands, and taking part in various music projects has shaped my style and creative approach. This website serves as my musical portfolio, showcasing my work and artistic vision. Every track here is fully arranged, recorded, and performed exclusively by me, born out of a deep need for self-expression and the pursuit of unique sounds. I continuously refine my craft by broadening my musical perspectives and drawing inspiration from a variety of genres and cultures. A multi-instrumentalist at heart, I am always exploring new tones, inspirations, and ways to tell stories through music.

In addition to composing and producing music, I am also passionate about photography. On my SoundCloud, each track is accompanied by a photograph that I have taken and prepared myself—carefully chosen to reflect the mood and atmosphere of the piece.
