Satori Duo

Fig. Maciej Krajewski

Michał Giżycki — bass clarinet, saxophones (Poland)
Piotr Dąbrowski — drums, percussionals, voice, hollow stick (Poland)

The duo is inspired and explores the spiritual side of free jazz. It goes beyond the canonical perception of the genre and reaches into its essence. It often operates with silence, focus, meditation, as well as trance energy, without shying away from ecstatic expression. Musicians take into account existing circumstances, people, place and time, thus giving expression to music the free flow of energy. Total listening, full commitment, free action, compassion.

Michał Giżycki — clarinetist, saxophonist and improviser working in the areas of free jazz, avant jazz, improvised, experimental and folk music. He draws inspiration from nature, art, introspection and the circumstances. He co-creates bands such as Czarnoziem, Drogi Krajowe, En Quartet, Satori Duo, MikrobiOM and NaDiR Trio.

Piotr Dąbrowski — drummer, multi-instrumentalist, sound traveler who plays not only with instruments, but with his whole self. He does not stick to genres, although his heart is closest to free jazz. He is inspired by rain, streams, the noise of the body and what flows beyond words. He practices music without instructions, with full presence.

GBK Trio

Susanna Gartmayer — bass clarinet (Austria)
Thomas Berghammer — trumpet, flugelhorn, alto saxhorn (Austria)
