Altogether with the CD of Pinakoteka, a book "Rapujące cyfry"/ Naughty Numbers written by Joanna Jasińska, a pianist of Pinakoteka, was published (the publisher: Pani Twardowska - www.panitwardowska.com.pl). The book includes music and rythmic games based on these 14 songs and arrangements for home made percussion instruments. There is also a script for a music fairytale "Rapujące cyfry" written by Kamil Jaros, a vocalist and music instructor participating in recording the CD.
!inakoteka is relatively a new project: the band was founded in January, 2011 in Warsaw, Poland.
Pinakoteka - who are we?
In Latin this name means "an art gallery" and truly depicts the idea that accompanies the musicians: the unique bond of music, lyrics and image. Pinakoteka plays music composed by Asia Jasińska and later on arranged by the whole band; lyrics are mostly written by Marzena Kowalska, Monika Oliszewska and Agnieszka Frączek, modern Polish poetesses, however there are also lyrics of poets such as: M. Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska, L.Pasternak, L.Engelking and others.
One can trace in these pieces of music the atmosphere of French chanson, smooth jazz feeling and folk music energy. The concerts of Pinakoteka are audiovisual: there are abstract painings (colour field painting style) presented in a background rearranged by graphic designers - recently Pinakoteka concerts have been accompanied by abstract paintings of Agata Padoł Ciechanowska, a Polish painter (www.agatapadol.netgaleria.eu).
What matters most in our music is emotion, energy, rythm and colour, both in projects for mature audience - like in the CD "Fugitive songs" (Piosenki ulotne) and in recent projects for kids - "Naughty Numbers".
Just listen to our music and enjoy it! And come to our concerts. Or we may come to you...
