Lineup: Miko\u0142aj Trzaska, composer, saxophonist, and clarinettist, has collaborated with director Wojciech Smarzowski for many years. His credits include soundtracks for the films <\/span><\/span>The Dark House (Dom Z\u0142y), Rose (R\u00f3\u017ca), and The Mighty Angel (Pod Mocnym Anio\u0142em), as well as the television play Cure (Kuracja).<\/p>\n In the project “Miko\u0142aj Trzaska plays Rose,” a five-piece ensemble presents pieces from Smarzowski\u2019s soundtracks, including fragments that did not make the final film cuts but were integral to the complete creative visions for Rose and The Dark House. Trzaska admits he spent a long time searching for the right artists to perform this music with him; this search led to the formation of a band featuring Wac\u0142aw Zimpel, Micha\u0142 G\u00f3rczy\u0144ski, Adam \u017buchowski, and Pawe\u0142 Szpura. <\/span><\/p>\n Trzaska is also the co-founder and saxophonist of the group Mi\u0142o\u015b\u0107, the leader of \u0141oskot, and a prolific composer for film and theatre. He has collaborated with artists such as <\/span>. Tymon Tyma\u0144ski, Marcin \u015awietlicki, Andrzej Stasiuk, Yuri Andrukhovych, Peter Br\u00f6tzmann, Ken Vandermark, and Joe McPhee. He is an artist who boldly transcends both genre and cultural boundaries. <\/span><\/p>\n Miko\u0142aj Trzaska on the Music for Rose<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Trzaska admits that while creating the music for Rose, he\u2014much like the actors\u2014experienced a spectrum of joy, depression, and fear.<\/span><\/p>\n Film music is the most intimate part of my work. I have a hidden fear of exposing these emotions and feelings in everyday life, but in music, as with most artists, they emerge. This music is like sharing the final crumbs, the last crust of bread; it matters to me that in life, we pull those crumbs from our pockets after the large bites eaten in a rush. Review: Miko\u0142aj Trzaska Plays Rose<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis was no ordinary concert. Even if the themes used in Rose are simple and easy to play, every gasp of air forced into the clarinet summoned dramatic images. Not necessarily Bosch-like, for Smarzowski\u2019s new film radiates not only violence and hatred, but also (and perhaps above all?) hope and love. One does not need to be an expert in free jazz to notice the immense effort this concert cost Miko\u0142aj Trzaska. This concert is presented as part of a showcase of the Kilogram Records catalogue.<\/p>\n This concert is presented as part of a showcase of the Kilogram Records catalogue.<\/p>\n 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\u2014one of the most interesting Polish labels of the new century, whose impact extends far beyond the sphere of music. <\/p>\n An uncompromising, original vision, a wealth of cultural contexts, and a consistent, attractive graphic design make the label a unique and significant phenomenon.<\/p>\n Kilogram Records was founded in 2000 in Gda\u0144sk by Ola and Miko\u0142aj Trzaska. They were inspired by an initiative developed by another creative couple\u2014the literary publishing house Czarne, run by Monika Sznajderman and Andrzej Stasiuk. <\/p>\n READ MORE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

However, that effort did not go to waste. In a way known only to himself, the composer poured his deepest feelings into his stage companions. I do not know if it required many shared screenings, conversations until dawn, or dozens of rehearsals (most likely a bit of everything), but it produced a truly poignant effect. Initially, the sextet clung quite tightly to the themes, only to eventually surrender to improvisation loosely based on a proven script. No one shouted \u2018Ad rem, gentlemen!\u2019, for the \u2018matter at hand\u2019 wasn\u2019t the point here. Rather, Trzaska and his colleagues tried to capture the great spirit that binds the cinematic story. And the fact that it occasionally slipped through their fingers? Well, all the better\u2014that\u2019s when we had it all to ourselves.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\nKILOGRAM RECORDS<\/h2>\n
