ARTIST ALBUM TEXT
Tomasz Bednarczyk




Painting Sky Together Wroclaw based sound artist Tomasz Bednarczyk has a penchant for capturing the emotion in moments of stasis. It’s this acute sense of expanding fleeting moments and exploring their detail that informs the sonic palette of his latest full length recording Painting Sky Together.

Akin to his acclaimed debut edition 'Summer Feelings' (Room40), which elegantly documented a uniquely Polish experience of summer replete with distantly warm bursts of piano, and crisp glitch ridden pulses, Painting Sky Together is an considered exploration in minimalism. Bednarczyk relishes the intimacy of his sound world, taking the most restrained compositional actions and allowing them to unfold with a hazy stillness that blurs time.

It’s an album that’s both crisp and fragile, but ultimately its textures are overwhelmingly warm and generous. A statement of hushed awe – listen with care.

REVIEWS:
(for summer feelings)
"These pieces representant an "imagined narrative" based on experiences of Polish summertime, which is never quite free of the East European winter. And so "Vacation", with its simple, resonant, Harold Budd-like piano offest by a shower o fractured glitch, is like staring wistfully out of a window watching the raindrops form on the plane during an autumn shower. "Sad Man On The Train" may well be a conscious reference to the Marcel Duchamp painting (almost) the same name, and is certainly suspended in a similar light, with mobility and melancholy. The distant chatter of "Irritation" breaks up the slightly limited sound palette of the album as a whole, which in its reflectiveness and restraint shows great promise."
THE WIRE (David Stubbs)

"An engaging and enticing release from a promising young artist, working magic from an economy of means." White Line

"Summer Feelings is a beautifully quaint, cordial exercise in gorgeous melancholy and a stunning debut for Room40 by an exciting new (to me), young artist." Forest Gospel

"It's amazing the wonderful varieties of beautiful and poignant electronic music that is being released these days especially from innovative, relatively new artists. I'll have to include Tomasz Bednarczyk and his exquisitely fragile and affecting new digital-only album Summer Feelings as an exceptional paradigm of such artists and their works - 10/10" Earlabs
