The track Solitune was released as a single on the 26th of February, 2021 but will also be part of an EP. 

Tell us something about your track Solituned!
At the start of 2020 I shut myself up in an old house deep in the woods, where I had a chance to live and compose for 3 months. This is how ‘Solituned’ was born. The word ‘Solituned’ did not exist in any language, but when it first came to me I was amazed how well it accompanies the EP. My experiment taught me to experience solitude and get attuned to it. Solituned is when you see the space between you and everything else getting bigger, to the point where you are consumed by it, and there is just you drifting in the middle of dark, empty, chill space. After some time you find this state comforting. I hope my music will bring you this same kind of comfort. The track I share with you is the single promoting three-track-EP that will come on 19th of March.

Thank you very much for this Piotr!

I really like to improvise on piano, many of my music were born from sudden inspiration and from moments of life lived in my past and in my present; life is like an “infinite soundtrack”, and for me every mood, every memory must be caught to turn it into notes, just listen to yourself inside.
