Grzegorz Karnas Trio feat. Miklós Lukács Audio Beads

BMCCD199 2012

Grzegorz Karnas’s project in concert is a quartet concept that is far removed from the classical paradigm. His group likes drawing on the trance-like nature of ostinatos and the abstraction of modal playing, developed on the basis of simple and catchy melodic themes.

Grzegorz Karnas’s project in concert is a quartet concept that is far removed from the classical paradigm. His group likes drawing on the trance-like nature of ostinatos and the abstraction of modal playing, developed on the basis of simple and catchy melodic themes.

A brief, general outline of Grzegorz Karnas’s music in concert would be: energy-filled, groovy, acoustic music-making with a hefty dose of improvisation.
