Krzysztof MAJCHRZAK: Vigier Electric Bass, fretless KM bass and electric guitar
DRUMMNAUT (Dawid Wojtek Lewandowski): Yamaha Maple Custom, rythm design Ableton 9, synth, ethno-electro percussion
„This is a duo album by Polish (resident in France) bassist / guitarist Krzysztof Majchrzak and drummer Drummonaut (a.k.a. Dawid Wojtek Lewandowski). It presents nine original instrumental compositions co-credited to both duo members.
The music combines Groove, Funk, Ambient, Electronic and Ethno elements with improvisation, sounding like an up to date version of Weather Report meets Tangerine Dream. The consecutive tracks create a trance like meditative state, which completely absorbs the listener, flowing naturally one into the next. The entire flow of sounds is more about atmosphere and sub-consciousness than about melody or harmony. As such, the music simply avoids clear genre classification and its abstract nature fits to the mood and orientation of the listener more than sets it.
Music fans, who are used to absorb clearly defined messages, might find this music difficult to enjoy, but free spirited listeners who are ready to let go of their preconceptions should find this music wonderfully fulfilling and spiritual. This is perhaps not for everybody, but it is highly interesting for the adventurous explorers. Personally I had a great fun listening to this eclectic and unconventional music.

„ Pomimo mnóstwa wykorzystanej w studiu elektroniki, muzyka zawarta na „H-E- K-A” wcale nie jest odhumanizowana. To przede wszystkim zasługa Majchrzaka, którego gitarowe peregrynacje – zarówno na basie, jak i gitarze solowej – grane są od serca, ba! niekiedy niosą nawet nadzieję (pierwsze minuty „Digital Gravity”). Polski basista ostatnimi laty co jakiś czas grywa w kraju, jeżeli więc w swoim mieście traficie na plakat informujący o jego koncercie – wybierzcie się, by osobiście doświadczyć mistycznego przeżycia, jakie gwarantują jego muzyczne spektakle. » ....... więcej
