Olga Mysłowska / Michał Pepol / Patryk Zakrocki - Leggerezza

Poland, 2023, chamber folk / avant-folk Polish trio interprets Italian text with improvised vocals inspired by the unexpected and delightful tones of a prepared guitar, the kind of music that stokes the imagination within the cavernous vault of musical possibility. The restraint these artists show is refreshing, confidence in sparseness.

A foreign body lives its own life. You're not able to get rid of it, it's always with you, you need it. Caress that odd part of yours, don't try to shave its long tousled fur. This is a story about something that's considered to be strange at first but turns out to be the dearest thing to us. About the transformation of inside and outside. directing, script and animation: Marta Magnuska Editing: Ewa Golis sound: Anna Nowak music: Patryk Zakrocki Film School in Łódź 2016

Polski Piach - P​ó​ł​noc - instrumental chamber blues from Poland; a very woody sound from the trio of guitar, bass clarinet, & basolia

The band Polski Piach (Polish Sands) was formed by musician and composer Patryk Zakrocki. The group draws deep on the traditions of original blues, contemporary classic and desert trance to formulate their own musical language. A language which echoes their native landscape, the nature of Polish rivers and cloudy skies. The musicians hail from the Warsaw improvisation scene and are associated with the label Lado abc. The Polish Sands Project delves into the spiritual bonds which bind the sands of the Mississippi Delta, the Sahara Desert and the Wisla River.
