This duo, Andrzej Karalow and Jérôme Noetinger, is the brainchild of Grzegorz Paluch, who had the idea of bringing together the piano, the subtle phrasing and harmonic interplay of the former with the magnetic and electronic tentacles of the latter. The piano metamorphoses in the cogs of the tape recorder, multiplying and playing with its distorted mirror. It’s a journey through imaginary landscapes haunted by a ghostly presence.

Jérôme Noetinger – Revox B77, electronics

Andrzej Karałow – piano, Roland space echo

Recorded at Andrzej Karałow’s home studio, May 2024.

Recording, mix, and mastering by Igor Szymański.

Double bassist Joëlle Léandre and pianist Andrzej Karałow and, two exceptional improvisers, introduce FLINT – an album born from raw, spontaneous expression. Like the flint it is named after, it ignites moments of warmth, intensity, and transformation. Their interplay, both subtle and explosive, allows sound to organically unfold in real time. FLINT is an open invitation to experience music at its most elemental.

The album was recorded in S4 Studio of Polish Radio in Warsaw, Poland.

Joëlle Léandre – double bass

Andrzej Karałow – piano

Igor Szymański – recording, editing, mix, master

Chamber recital with music by W. Lutosławski, G. Crumb, B. Bartók, O. Messiaen

Małgorzata Wasiucionek-Potera – violin

Andrzej Karałow – piano

The music we hear on this album, very consciously structured into a sensitive story (as evidenced by specific pieces and names), is ‘natural in its hunger’: it is simply life. When thinking about the (re)creative process of performance, we often forget that the score is a secondary record of musicit is not that music is its epilogue. Music was first, and Wasiucionek and Karałow remind us of this fact. Their performance is organic, ‘testing gravity’, as far as the virtuosity, interpretation, tone colours, and energy are concerned. However, whenever we deal with a living organism, there is, like its colourful halo, a glowing rimthe mystery of what is ‘beyond’.

Inspired by the phenomenon of landscapes, I try to discover my own musical language through penetrating and fathoming visual, multi-layered sceneries. By connecting music with synesthesia, I want to reach a unique connection of sound, its colour, and time. The best link-symbol to observe the paradox of variability and permanency of landscapes is journey. Earth, physical land, tectonic layers, colours – all of these elements connect with spiritual aspect of steadiness and unpredictability. Improvisation – which is also important for me in the context of musical creation – as musical element and technique, symbolizes in my music a wandering through internal sound landscapes, merging everything into a single, organic whole.

Landscape, space, colour, sound, light, shadow – these are the elements that inspire my imagination. The complexity of landscape – often understood symbolically or abstractly – triggers many factors related to the shaping of sound material and its colour and of the sound structure itself. The phenomenon of landscape and its dynamic variability inspires me with its unpredictability and diverse layers.
