Raphael Meleteas: Someone Else
by Maciej Stasiowski
It is September already, and the days arrive tinted by the fallen leaves' reds and yellows. Somehow, we are thrown back to late August, finally granted enough time to enjoy a cool drink and listen to the record, just like people used to in the pre-accelerationist era. On Raphael Meleteas's very brief debut LP, musical arrangements ...
Jack Wyllie: Eternal Spring
by Maciej Stasiowski
Starling murmurations are an amazing sight and a wonder illustrating swarm intelligence. How come none of the birds collide with their peers? Decoded by computer modeling, emergent behavior in complex systems unveils patterns that go well beyond single-component contribution. It is tempting to hear out flocking behavior that transforms individual instruments into a rich tapestry--a wall ...
Voo Voo Runs the Voodoo Down
by Maciej Stasiowski
Voo Voo is the faux-phonetic transcription of how Wojciech Waglewski's initials should be pronounced in English--instead of the default “double U" times two. By no mere coincidence, it is also the name of a group he has been running since 1985. Having secured his band this way for sailing on international waters already at the outset, ...
Robert Jukič 4 + Bram De Looze: Congregation
by Maciej Stasiowski
How about approaching this one through visuals rather than sound for a change? Album covers alone do a remarkable job of transporting us into a particular state of mind, and Robert Jukic's catalog testifies to a consistently compelling visual identity. Izza's (ZKPRTVS, 2022) forsaken armchair beside a crooked telegraph pole or the disintegrating Ford Cortina in ...

Nils Berg & Norrbotten Big Band: Paid To Cry
by Maciej Stasiowski
When faced with the trauma of loss, we stifle. Tears flow when the defense shields are eventually down or the dam is allowed to overflow with emotion. Crying out loud--pardon the pun--turns into a performance that comes with its own measures of mastery in feigning the lament for the screen or--as in the case of Nils ...
Rahul Mukerji: Mridhangit
by Maciej Stasiowski
Mridhangit is a portmanteau of the instrument mridangam, employed extensively on the new record by Rahul Mukerji, and the Hindi word for song or music (git/geet). First ignited on the artist's 2017 release Ma De Re Sha (Self Produced, 2017), the project has solidified into a recognisable signature: guitar-led instrumentals anchored in Indian percussive rhythms, shaped ...
David Torn: Now I Imagine A Place Not The Same
by Maciej Stasiowski
Lacking recognizable features, yet constituting a genre of their own, John Constable's 1821-1822 cloud studies come up as an evocative metaphor for David Torn's Only Sky (ECM Records, 2015). What Constable referred to as “skying," almost two centuries later, made a comeback as an arrangement of distortions, loops, and cascaded signal processing, which Torn jokingly nicknamed ...
