I have always loved playing percussion instruments. When I was 16 years old I went through a serious infection, as a result of which I partially lost my hearing, and a quiet noise became a permanent part of my ear. However, I didn't stop playing, and my sensitivity to sounds even increased somewhat. This also had other sides - when I felt that someone was talking rubbish, I listened to them with my damaged ear. 

I met musician Patryk Zakrocki during the Flow/Przepływ artist residency, which takes place on a river barge. We improvised together in wild exultation, and that's how the idea for Polski Piach (Polish Sand) – playing minimalist experimental blues – was born.  The excellent saxophonist Piotr Mełech joined us and together we recorded our first album, Południe (South).
