Otwinowski / Sikorski / Witkowski
Spalona Ziemia
The trio is a perfect composition for broadly understood improvised music, sufficient in terms of minimum and generally reflecting to the maximum what the musicians want to convey to the listener. In the case of the Wroclaw-based trio Marek Otwinowski, Michal Sikorski and Marcin Witkowski, this "width" of understanding improvisation is particularly visible. This is not a classic free-jazz band or even free-improv, because the musicians go far beyond these frames, touching noise, avant-garde, industrial or even metal. The music here is a metaphorical sediment on the filter that stops genre stereotypes, codes and clichs. It is a triple improvisational sieve, in which, among the remnants, you can find traces of noise, metal, avant-garde, futuristic electronics, collage soundscapes as well as scraps of dreamlike ambients or narrative animations that make you smile. Music extracted from ruins and ashes? Yes.
