Maniucha & Ksawery MANIUCHA & KSAWERY (PL) Avant-garde approach to tradition The project by Maniucha and Ksawery is an extraordinarily inspiring encounter of two musical personalities. Maniucha Bikont conducts field research in the Polesie region of Ukraine, experiencing songs associated with the cycles of nature and human life, rituals and everyday existence, which she then shares with the audiences on stage. In this project, she is joined by Ksawery Wójciński, bassist, composer and improviser. Maniucha and Ksawery perform songs of spring and harvest, songs for the wedding and those sung once by vagabond beggars, carols and lullabies. The traditional female vocal converses with the improvising double bass, which offers a splendid, male counterbalance for the singing. Their music is sparing in its form, and at the same time natural and vivid, characterised by extraordinary power of expression. Concerts of the duo are a proof of the incredibly close bond between the human being and the song. The artists reflect and meditate on it, demonstrating a tremendous amount of work they have done with the musical matter as well as its profound comprehension. Selected concerts: Ethno Port 2017, Enea Spring Break Showcase Festival 2018, Ethniesy Festival 2018, MENT Ljubljana 2018 Line up: Maniucha Bikont – vocals, Ksawery Wójciński – double bass, vocals FB https://www.facebook.com/ManiuchaKsawery/ Video / Audio: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGHaJKvJm-F8TUPgRxTmJAA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbOCTHYRxbM UWOLNIONE DŹWIĘKI - RELEASED SOUNDS (PL / DE) Music inspired by Polish and European paintings Maciej Rychły began his forays into reading the musical notation in paintings by studying old works with music-related scenes, where a group of musicians gathers around the invisible phenomenon of music. Maciej is a musician, psychologist, co-founder and leader of Kwartet Jorgi, a group creating music rooted in the European traditions. Plays shepherds’ instruments, most of which he has built himself. Since 1985, he has dedicated his skill and knowledge to reconstructing instruments based on archaeological data. The several years of collaboration with the Pieśń Kozła Theatre yielded music to a number of their performances: Songs of Lear, Cherry Orchard and Return to the Voice, which was splendidly received by the audience of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2014 and many others. In 2019 he composed and recorded music for few episodes of the last season of Vikings series for History Channel. Elisabeth Seitz studied psaltery and early music in Linz, Munich and at the Royal Conservatoire in the Hague. Through her contribution in the French ensemble L'Arpeggiata, the singular instrument she plays gained crucial recognition and found a permanent place in the landscape of European art music. She has performed and recorded early, contemporary and world music. Mateusz Rychły is a guitarist playing folk, blues and Celtic music. His inspirations come mainly from the sounds of the British Isles, America, the Balkans and Poland. In 2019 the Released Sounds started to work on a new project named Music of Saint Lakes.

The band is inspired by traditional music of their region: folk songs and dance music from many different regions of Poland. The music is traditionally performed “archaic style” on a violin, a basolia (a folk instrument similar to a cello) and a drum, with a great degree of freedom, joy and improvisation – it’s not just an academic reconstruction of old melodies. Kapela Maliszow also compose their own music, inspired by Polish tradition and characterised by their distinctive style - influenced by jazz and world music. Interestingly, the violin and baraban (the drum) have been in the family for generations, handed down to Jan Malisz from his father, Jozef. Jozef also taught Jan the basics of many other instruments that could be found around the house. That’s why the band called this music “Father’s notes”. Apart from making music, the band also make instruments. In his workshop, Jan Malisz builds violins, hurdy-gurdys, nyckelharpas, pipes and many others. The group’s latest album “Village Jazz” was voted the best Polish folk CD of 2017 in the Polish Radio’s annual contest “Folk Phonogram of the year”. The very same album also scored the people’s choice award “Wirtualne Gęśle” for the best Polish folk CD of 2017. It was also voted 4th best Folk album of the past 5 years by Songlines. Kapela Maliszow has been nominated to Songlines Music Awards in "best group" category twice, in 2017 and 2015. Both of the band's albums were listed high by Transglobal Music Chart: "Village Jazz" scoring 5th place in Top 40 World Music Albums of January 2018, "Inconceivable Mazurkas" scoring 15th in Best of The World in 2015.

The project set out from a collection of archival recordings of folk songs and compositions from the Greater Poland regions, contained on a unique set of shellac gramophone records from the turn of the 20th century. The artists invited to contribute in the project speak quite distinct musical idioms, while their sensibilities and temperaments differ as well. Their task was to come forward with contemporary interpretations of folk music from the areas of Śrem, Pleszew and Poznań. The musicians decided to draw on the nature of archival recordings and the manner of music-making from a century ago, creating open and unrestrained, quasi-jazz compositions with a large dose of primeval improvisation, ritual trance and a narrative based on Greater Polish folk motifs. In 2018 POLMUZ won 1st prize and Special Award of the Polish Radio 2 competition „Nowa Tradycja/New Tradition ”. They performed also at Ethno Port 2017, Spring Break Festival 2019, Off Festival 2019, Solidarity of Arts 2019, Polish Radio Concert Studio, Line up: Michał Fetler - alto sax, baritone sax, bass sax Rafał Zapała - Polivoks soviet synthesizer, programming Ksawery Wójciński - double bass Rafał Igiel - drums and percussions FB: www.facebook.com/polmuzyka Links: https://polmuz.bandcamp.com/ https://youtu.be/SVTl2fH198Y https://youtu.be/Fo44SsjNSvc https://youtu.be/F_gEsWjMsuE www.michalfetler.com Jacek Hałas & NOISEBAND (PL) Family Folk Orchestra and Theater Jacek Hałas and Alicja Choromańska-Hałas - couple of artists who have been researching the most interesting traditional forms of Eastern European music, dance and craft.

  • OFF Festival Katowice 2018 Announcing the First Artists We’Re Pleased to Announce the First Artists That Are Confirmed to Perform at the Next OFF Festival
    OFF Festival Katowice 2018 Announcing the First Artists We’re pleased to announce the first artists that are confirmed to perform at the next OFF Festival. They’re original, they’re psychedelic and they’re kaleidoscopic: Grizzly Bear, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah performing Some Loud Thunder, John Maus and Marlon Williams are coming to Katowice in August. Get your OFF Festival passes now at a special early- bird prices. There’s no better Christmas gift than that! Grizzly Bear If there’s one band on the US indie scene today that can blaze new trails in American folk music while remaining faithful to the lessons of the Beach Boys, and that can be as catchy as they are challenging, blending jazz and art rock with pop, then that band is, without a doubt, Grizzly Bear. But it would be unfair to brand this Brooklyn quartet as a group of savvy counterfeiters: their music — a dense web of gripping and at times slightly psychedelic sonic ideas — is a purely original invention. It’s also one that’s garnered rave reviews from audiences and critics alike since their debut Horn of Plenty (2004). Grizzly Bear’s follow-up Yellow House (ranked among the top albums of 2006 by The New York Times and Pitchfork) secured their spot in the top echelons of alternative rock, while later efforts, including this year’s Painted Ruins, only reinforced their status. But as we’ll all see on a warm summer night this August, this bear’s natural habitat is the stage. John Maus His music has been described as a mash-up of punk, catchy soundtracks to ‘80s blockbusters, the unremitting poppiness of Moroder, and the spiritual qualities of Medieval and Baroque music.

  • OFF Festival Katowice 2018 Widzimy Przyszłość, Słyszymy Głosy
    OFF Festival Katowice 2018 Widzimy przyszłość, słyszymy głosy Legendarne pieśniarki z Bułgarii, charyzmatyczna Zola Jesus i Skalpel w towarzystwie jazzowego big bandu – to tylko część wykonawców, których udział w naszym święcie muzyki mamy przyjemność dziś potwierdzić. Zola Jesus „Ten album jest głęboko osobistym portretem straty, pogodzenia się i współczucia dla łańcuchów, którymi przykuto nas do bezwzględnych praw natury” – tak Zola Jesus zapowiadała wydaną w ubiegłym roku, swoją piątą płytę „Okovi”. W tytule rzeczywiście chodzi o okowy – swojsko brzmiące słowo to nawiązanie do słowiańskiego pochodzenia amerykańskiej artystki. Materiał nagrywała w małej chatce, w lesie, walcząc z depresją i wewnętrznymi demonami. Wyszła jej rzecz równie intymna, co uniwersalna. Mroczna, hipnotyczna, ale też uwodząca za pierwszym przesłuchaniem. Gotycki pop, dark wave, art pop – muzykę Zola Jesus można określać wieloma różnymi szyldami, za to jej głos trudno opisać słowami. Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares (The Mystery of Bulgarian Voices) Zespół znany wcześniej jako Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares, czyli bułgarskie pieśniarki równie tajemnicze, co wspaniałe. Chór kobiecy, którego korzenie sięgają lat 50. i nagrań tradycyjnych pieśni na potrzeby państwowej telewizji. Ich pierwszy krok poza granice kraju sprowokowało zainteresowanie ze strony szwajcarskiego producenta Marcela Celliera, zafascynowanego kulturą muzyczną Europy Wschodniej. To on zebrał pieśni chóru na serii płyt „Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares”, które dały zespołowi nową nazwę i popularność na całym globie, a Cellierowi nagrodę Grammy. Od tamtej pory The Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices podróżują po świecie i zadziwiają wielobarwną paletą głosów wszystkich, którzy chcą słuchać. My chcemy. Skalpel Big Band Nie trzeba ich przedstawiać fanom dobrej muzyki – płytami wydanymi w Ninja Tune duet Skalpel przyczynił się do renesansu polskiego jazzu, wpisując go w nowy kontekst elektronicznej muzyki klubowej.

In city tourism, focus is being increasingly shifted towards direct and authentic experience of urban space through spontaneous contact with the space itself and the inhabitants who create it. The authors, on the basis of three Polish cities being known as tourist destinations, analyzes the role of backyards and lanes in building up the identity of a city and the way their image as a tourist attraction is created. Keywords: backyards, lanes, identity of a city, image of a city, tourist attraction Streszczenie Zmęczeni turystyką masową turyści poszukują odmienności i autentyzmu miejsc oraz doświadczeń z nimi związanych. W turystyce miejskiej coraz więcej uwagi zwraca się na bezpośredniość i prawdziwość do- świadczania przestrzeni miejskiej poprzez spontaniczny kontakt zarówno z nią samą, jak i jej wytwórcami − mieszkańcami miasta. Autorzy artykułu na przykładzie trzech turystycznych miast Polski analizują rolę podwórzy i zaułków w budowaniu tożsamości miasta, konfrontując jednocześnie wykorzystanie ich poten- cjału z kształtowaniem turystycznego wizerunku miasta.

At the festival, we see games that reimagine the act of gaming–what can it do? What can it mean? We see games that think critically about learning, teaching, playing, and storytelling.” – Jordan Shapiro, Forbes.com “Since 2004, the conference has pushed at the limits of what's possible in a video game, helping bring the field into the mainstream. Recent keynote speakers have included retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who in 2008 oversaw development of the popular iCivics games, and former Vice President Al Gore, who in 2011 told festival attendees, ‘Games are the new norm.’” – Greg Toppo, USA Today “Far removed from the military battles, zombie attacks and alien uprisings that dominate the multibillion-dollar video game industry, Games for Change is focused on lesser-known titles that treat the medium as something more than entertainment. The organization’s festival has become a platform to introduce video games with altruistic goals.” – Laura Parker, New York Times “This year's Games for Change Festival teams up with the Tribeca Film Festival to broaden its scope and approach to the discussion and examination of games dedicated to social change.

Information about Poland For students from outside the European Union who come to study in Poland, this may well be the beginning of a fascinat- ing adventure of discovering Europe. Being invited to study in Poland means that you are invited to the European Union, of which Poland is an active member state. We encourage you to discover the European Union, which offers not only varied and interesting cultures and the opportunities associated with strong, innovative economies, but it also provides the very best conditions for successful higher education study in a challenging and friendly atmosphere. With top-quality, internationally recognised degrees, almost no other region in the world can set your career off to such a promising start. If you live in Europe but you have never had the oppor- tunity to get to know Poland better, you will certainly not be bored.
