  | WITKACY TRIBUTE ENSEMBLE ~ NIE Z SWIATA TEGO
RG 110 (Barcode: 5904873488093) ~ POLAND ~ Jazz & Poetry
Recorded: 2022 - 2023 Released: 2023
Here we are again, continuing the multi-disciplinary tribute to the iconic Polish Cultural figure of WitkacyFind albums by this artist. Several of the protagonists, who took part in creating the opening chapter of this tribute are back, headed by the project’s initiator and spiritus movens Bogusław RaatzFind albums by this artist, and some new ones join in, all united behind the idea of transforming the magic of Witkacy in time and form, a transformation as natural as the everlasting power of Culture itself.
Combining the poignant texts by Witkacy with original music, creates a vehicle, which enables the listener to enter the world of Witkacy’s mystique, simply by allowing the words and music flow freely in the conscious / subconscious mind, hopefully opening a new window / a new perspective towards Witkacy and his epic contribution to Polish Culture.
This second chapter of the tribute is by far not simply a reiteration of the opening chapter in any sense. The music is quite different, both stylistically and conceptually, the texts offer another outlook of Witkacy’s mindset, and the overall atmosphere is also significantly altered. Hopefully this is only a new and exciting chapter and not the final one, as this magnificent idea is way too good to be left lingering in space for too long, before we get another fix ;)
Side Note
The above are my liner notes included on this album's artwork.
I am honored when asked by the Artists to write liner notes for their albums, always hoping that my words reflect the true spirit of the music. This is also a symbol of our mutual respect and friendship developed over the years.
The same is also true when Record Labels ask me to write liner notes for their releases, mostly in the case of reissues of archival albums, which is a symbol of their appreciation of my knowledge and historical perspective and my recognition of their dedication to the preservation of the history of recorded music and the effort to keep human Culture and Aesthetics alive.
