Windowsills, keys, synths – there are many terms for keyboard instruments, and their capabilities will be showcased by three creative pianists and keyboardists, united by a passion for synthesizers, experimentation, and sonic freedom. Marcel Baliński He is a Fryderyk Award-winning pianist, composer, improviser, co-founder of the ensembles Entropia Ensemble, RASP Lovers, Jerry and the Pelican System, and founder of the Współgłosy choir. Grzegorz Tarwid He gained experience with Wojciech Kamiński, Andrzej Jagodziński and Michał Tokaj, co-creates Sundial, Diomede Alfons Slik, and Franciszek Pospieszalski's sextet. Piotr Zabrodzki It combines jazz improvisation with sonicism, heavy metal with electronics, and he is the creator of bands such as LXMP, Efekt Moozgu, Trylobit, 60 Minut Projekt, and Semafor Combo. Together, the three of them form a unique trio, where each member contributes their distinct musical language, based on keyboards. In July, their debut album „Portale” will be released by UJAZZ ME.
