Performers
MICHAŁ GÓRCZYŃSKI
He graduated in clarinet from Warsaw’s Chopin Academy (now University) of Music. He composes classical, theatre and film music, as well as works inspired by various languages of the world. The artist has set out to expand the clarinet’s sound palette with original performance techniques, which he presented, among others, at the Darmstadt International Summer Courses for New Music. The contrabass clarinet has been his specialty for several years.
Górczyński has performed classical, ethnic, improvised, and contemporary music, with, among others, Orkest de Ereprijs, Polish philharmonic orchestras, OMN New Music Orchestra, the Silesian String Quartet, and AUKSO. He co-founded Kwartludium ensemble. He has collaborated with such outstanding artists as Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Ken Vandermark, Butch Morris, Mark Sanders, Marcin Masecki, Joe McPhee, Lê Quan Ninh, bands such as Cukunft, Pink Freud, Profesjonalizm, Details in the Air, and many others. He is a permanent member of Ircha Pneumatic wind quartet and Bastarda (both focusing on early music re-interpretations), Polonka trio (which draws on the folk music of Africa, Europe, and the Americas) as well as William’s Things; he plays with Buba Badjie Kuyateh and ensemble Laar Farobiansah Gamelan.
He is the author of robot-and-musician collaboration projects, including the 2023 Warsaw Robots – Duos, which presented the possibilities of machines performing in duos with musicians. With William’s Things he recorded the album Robots Are Coming.
