The multi-instrumentalist, virtuoso and
music composer known as Łukasz Adamczyk has released his latest EP
record, “After Ego.” The track has been proudly published as an
independent release on the artist's own, self-titled music label
without the participation of the corporate music industry. Eclectic,
cool, extremely imaginative and more stylish than any other fusion
record this year, “After Ego' by Łukasz Adamczyk is a collection
of compositions any music fan can appreciate.
Asked to cite main artistic influences
for his “After Ego” album, Adamczyk concisely lists: “My own
experience, [Spanish surrealist painter] Salvador Dali, [acclaimed
jazz and flamenco bassist] Carles Benavent, and [Apple, Inc.
co-founder] Steve Jobs.”
His music on “After Ego” sounds –
perhaps surprisingly – not unlike a collaboration of these four
creative minds might sound on a record. It has the iconoclastic and
revolutionary thinking of Jobs, the instrumental precision of
Benavent, the dreamlike and unpredictable nature of Dali, and the
underlying philosophies of the artist, himself, Łukasz Adamczyk.
Pigeonholing the record in a genre is
not only difficult, but belittling to it in a way. It has been
described as electronica, jazz, free jazz, fusion jazz, and
“miscellaneous” variously, and it also contains integral elements
of rock and alternative music.
Speaking of the themes of “After Ego”
(the title of which is chiefly telling) Adamczyk writes, “It's
mainly instrumental music so far, so any message is between the
notes. For me, it's deepening my aesthetic roots, seeking new tastes
when combining ingredients that seem far away from each other at
first glance. The process is very intuitive, and I would like to take
the listener for an inner trip just as I'm taken.”
The experience of his record is very
much like traveling an unknown road. Its movements are sometimes
uncanny, often novel, and uniformly eye-opening. Even the stylistic
variations from track to track act as milestones which describe the
listener's progress through the sonic landscape described by
Adamczyk's music.
Polish-born Łukasz Adamczyk has been
playing music since the age of six. He began on violin, then added
piano to his repertoire, which was followed by drums, double bass,
and bass guitar. He works as a session bass player accompanying
mainly pop, world, and rock artists.
“I decided to work on my own music
and aesthetics two years ago,” the artist writes, “and this EP is
the fruit of that work. Seeking my own language in music and my own
way in life became very important to me. As a session player I did
not care too much about having a recognizable name outside, but
having something to say as a solo artist makes me want to share my
music worldwide, reaching out to all.”
“After Ego” by Łukasz Adamczyk is
available online worldwide. Get in early. Very early.
