{"product_id":"tomasz-sroczynski_symphony-n2-highlander-vinyl_2021_lad","title":"SYMPHONY N°2 \/ HIGHLANDER (vinyl)","description":"A newcomer to the Mind Travel series, Tomasz Sroczynski, a young Polish composer and violinist, offers us an exhilarating and profoundly audacious work. Born on December 25, 1987, in Radomsko, and now residing in the Polish mountains near Babia Góra, his work, based on improvisation, oscillates between contemporary music and electronic music. Still little known in France, he has already collaborated with numerous talented Polish artists: Jerzy Mazzoll, clarinettist, with whom Tomasz Sroczynski worked on an improvised version of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. Marek Pospieszalski, saxophonist with whom he recorded the album \"Bareness\". And especially Jacek Sienkiewicz, a key figure in Polish electronic music, he is also the founder of Recognition Records, a label that has also produced two albums by Tomasz Sroczynski. 'Symphony No. 2 - Highlander' is a dazzling work, music that powerfully breaks our daily routine and inevitably permeates us. From the first movement, \"Adagio Pastorale\", the vibrations of the violin, through their repetitions and amplifications, irresistibly draw us into the heart of a whirlwind from which it will be difficult to escape. We immediately perceive the spontaneity and sincerity of this promising artist. Using a sampler and a harmonizer, Tomasz Sroczynski creates numerous loops that he organizes and superimposes, making his work unexpected and innovative: a masterful art of improvisation that makes his creation unique and original. Like nature, alternately peaceful and impetuous, Tomasz Sroczynski passionately alternates phases of serenity and agitation. Tomasz Sroczynski is a whole symphony in himself. Far from traditional composition methods, his album surprises with its vitality and authenticity. His influences are manifold; one naturally thinks of the great Polish composers of the 20th century: Szymanowski, Lutosławski, Penderecki, Górecki, Kilar. But Tomasz Sroczynski also seems to genuinely revere the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt and also mentions finding inspiration in techno, that of Detroit, and more recently, German minimalist techno.","brand":"Tomasz Sroczyński","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55310273544536,"sku":null,"price":20210820.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3521381566192_7b7a99d7-a64a-4c8c-addf-3b8554d359ec.jpg?v=1760318116","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/tomasz-sroczynski_symphony-n2-highlander-vinyl_2021_lad","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
