On 11 January at 32 Gintrowski Street (Warsaw) Marcin Łosik Trio plays a concert
in Culture House "Kadr". The promotors, due to high concert interest,
decided to move the event to the bigger Music Hall.

Wszystkie utwory zarejestrowane przez trio Marcina Łosika - zostały skomponowane
przez lidera. Tej muzyki słucham z przyjemnością i zainteresowaniem.
Kompozycje są jak kolejne rozdziały opowiadania, w którym w magiczny sposób słowa zostały
zamienione w dźwięki, nie tracąc swojej wartości narracyjnej.
Oczywiście to mój indywidualny sposób odbioru tej muzyki;
można ją przecież równie dobrze interpretować,
analizować poszczególne elementy,
zastanawiać się nad kolejnością poszczególnych części i
znaczeniem tej czy innej sekwencji dla całego odbioru.
Polecam tę płytę jako remedium na formalne traktowanie materiału muzycznego,
na banał i powtarzalność przewidywanych rozwiązań.
Można doszukać się w muzyce Łosika inspiracji romantycznej i impresjonistycznej,
ale bez jednoznacznych skojarzeń. Tam gdzie mamy do czynienia z talentem,
jesteśmy bezradni w jednoznacznej klasyfikacji stylistycznej.
Za najciekawsze uznałbym inicjujący płytę Modal Enterprise, ale też The Last Castle,
z intrygującym i zapowiadającym emocje wstępem kontrabasu,
na liście moich faworytów jest też The Portrait of Satie,
Łosik mówi językiem jazzu - ale wzbogaconym o pozagatunkowe koligacje.
Granie w jazzowym trio zazwyczaj nie skłania do szukania
różnicujących rozwiązań kolorystycznych - a jednak wrażliwy i pewny swojego warsztatu
pianista potrafi posłużyć się znacznie szerszą paletą barw,
niż moglibyśmy się spodziewać. Opisuję powyższymi słowami kolejną zaletę Łosika,
a przecież drobiazgowa analiza każdego z utworów zapisanych na płycie
pozwoliłaby na kilka kolejnych "odkryć". Tę przyjemność pozostawię jednak słuchaczom.

How to confront movment with music?
To what extent the motion world depends on the sound world?
Where does the impression come from?
Where are the limits of experience?
Or maybe the two fields are identical?
