I’m proud to announce new EP coming up on December 06, 2025. Here is the official press note.

The debut EP by Paweł Biliński (piano) and Krzysztof Maciejowski (five-string electric violin) captures the meeting of two musical worlds in a fully improvised live performance. Their dialogue balances between film music, minimalist classical influences, and free improvisation, creating soundscapes that resist easy categorization. It is music of intuition and tension, where silence is as significant as sound – an open story that evokes images and emotions in the listener’s imagination.

Each of the four tracks is a musical impression inspired by the inner worlds and creative visions of great historical figures – Van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and Antoni Gaudí. Rather than depicting their works, the artists immerse themselves in the aura of their imagination. “Van Gogh’s Impression” vibrates with color and emotional energy, “Da Vinci’s Mind” unfolds like a precise sketch in motion, “Saint-Exupéry’s Dream” takes flight in a poetic reverie, and the brief “Gaudi’s Eyes” resembles an architectural miniature built from sound itself.

The album was recorded live in a home studio in an old tenement house in Bielsko-Biała, Poland, where the natural acoustics and atmosphere of the space became part of the performance. It’s music without repetition – born from gestures, glances, and mutual trust – from the tension between two individual voices. Despite its intimacy, the recording gains remarkable depth and dimension thanks to the mix and mastering by Tadeusz Mieczkowski, especially in the Dolby Atmos / Binaural versions available on compatible streaming platforms.

This record is less a „project” and more a meeting of imaginations – an attempt to capture the fleeting moment when music becomes the language of images. In an age of digital perfection, Biliński and Maciejowski return to spontaneity and the art of listening to one another. Their improvisations unfold like a conversation where sound paints what words cannot express.

The EP heralds a longplay album planned for release in 2026. Album will be available on all streaming platforms and in CD format at Bandcamp – PRE-order is available now.

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.

Another album underway

2024-05-06

arranger, composer, dolbyatmos, krzysztofmaciejowski, newalbum, producer, tadeuszmieczkowski

Definitely shorter this time, but lots of specifics to share with you. As I wrote a few months ago, together with my friend, the excellent violinist and arranger Krzysztof Maciejowski, we recorded a concept album. The recording sessions took place in August last year. The sound engineer was Tadeusz Mieczkowski, who realised the recording in full Dolby Atmos™ standard ready for Binaural listening as well, using a dozen DPA microphones and more. What we were aiming for was to bring out a warm homemade sound, so the recordings took place in a flat in a 100-year-old building. The main instruments on the album are a 70-year-old piano and a 5-string violin.

The album is meant to be a collection of stories about longing for a carefree childhood as seen from an adult’s perspective. It is a journey between warm and cold colours, between joy and sadness, between the sunrises and sunsets of passing days.

We’ll be sharing the next stages of production soon, but for now, keep your fingers crossed for the mixes to close.

Stay tuned!

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.
