Sound Island | POL
ABOUT
Line-up
Mikołaj Trzaska – saxophones, clarinets
Ido Bukelman – guitars
Nadav Masel – double bass
Haggai Fershtman – drums
A new project born from the collaboration between Mikołaj Trzaska and the most prominent figures of the Israeli free-improvisation scene: guitarist Ido Bukelman, double bassist Nadav Masel, and drummer Haggai Fershtman.
Saxophonist Mikołaj Trzaska is a frequent guest in Israel, where he seeks inspiration and fosters new musical relationships.
The Sound Island project premiered in October 2013 during a concert at the Hanut club in Tel Aviv. During that time, the ensemble made its first recording, which will serve as the starting point for their debut CD.
The music of the Sound Island project is rooted primarily in the free jazz tradition, bearing a strong mark of Israel’s multicultural musical heritage.
This concert is presented as part of a showcase of the Kilogram Records catalogue.
KILOGRAM RECORDS
This concert is presented as part of a showcase of the Kilogram Records catalogue.
Starting with this year’s edition, a permanent fixture of the Different Sounds festival will be the presentation of domestic independent record labels. First up is Kilogram Records—one of the most interesting Polish labels of the new century, whose impact extends far beyond the sphere of music.
An uncompromising, original vision, a wealth of cultural contexts, and a consistent, attractive graphic design make the label a unique and significant phenomenon.
Kilogram Records was founded in 2000 in Gdańsk by Ola and Mikołaj Trzaska. They were inspired by an initiative developed by another creative couple—the literary publishing house Czarne, run by Monika Sznajderman and Andrzej Stasiuk.
