ameliatokarska, celticharptales, composer, concerts, tour

Here we go! Together with Amelia Tokarska, Krzysztof Maciejowski and Sławek Berny, we are very pleased to announce our autumn&winter concert tour.

As the Celtic Tales Quartet, we will take you to the world of Celtic legends in completely original adaptations, but in our own way: surrounded by electric violins, piano, synthesizers and an endless number of percussion instruments. All this with a dash (or is it?) of improvisation, which will show you that folk and harp music can be not only evocative, but also difficult to pigeonhole, serving as a soundtrack to the stories behind each song. We will do our best to make these evenings unforgettable. See you there!

We will update the list with new dates on an ongoing basis – further dates are currently being arranged.

We’re excited to share that the new album “Celtic Harp Tales” is now available in an immersive Dolby Atmos and binaural mix! This groundbreaking release opens a new sonic chapter for harp music, bringing a deeply spatial and emotional experience to listeners around the world.

Paweł Biliński, producer and arranger of the album, shares: “One of the core ideas behind this album was to present it in a Dolby Atmos mix — so that anyone, even in the comfort of their own home, could be immersed in a unique sonic environment. Thanks to modern streaming services, that vision is now a reality.”

The premiere single from the upcoming album is now available on the most popular streaming platforms: „Will Ye No Come Back Again?”. Select your platform and listen now:

https://lnk.fuga.com/ameliatokarskapawebiliski_willyenocomebackagain

It’s a simple but lovely song related to Scotland’s 18th century history. Although its origin story reminds sad and painful events, it is often associated with a farewell song. Paweł Biliński has chosen this traditional song and arranged it in a minimalist approach to bring out the maximum amount of emotion from a simple but profoundly beautiful melody. Here you’ll hear Celtic harp by Amelia Tokarska, 5-string violin (sounds like viola, that’s right) by Krzysztof Maciejowski, magical additions of percussion by Sławek Berny and some of my keyboard spaces.

Mixing sessions for the new album

2024-03-12

As I already announced, this year will see the premiere of harpist Amelia Tokarska’s debut album, of which I am the producer, arranger and art director. After completing all the recording sessions – several at the The Cavatina Hall in Bielsko-Biała and a few in Studio S2 of the Polish Radio, it was time for the mixing sessions. Together with the amazing Tadeusz Mieczkowski, we are working intensively on the sound quality in his Mastersound studio – stereo and Dolby Atmos™ mixes. Setup made for recording harps, including few pairs of top-quality microphones (DPA, Neumann, Shoeps, Royer, Coles) gave incredible possibilites to make harps, percussion and whistles sound natural, wide and without cutting any important details. The fantastic experience of one of Europe’s top sound engineers gives me confidence that the album will be of the highest audio quality.

Mixing with Tadeusz Mieczkowski at Mastersound studio — Mastersound Tadeusz Mieczkowski Studio

P.S: We already know under which label the album will be published, but you’ll have to be patient for a while yet! It’s going to be a truly amazing adventure.

Stay tuned, we’re getting closer in this project but it’s not the only one I’m working on.
