Łukasz Pawlik Project is based on the sound of the 80s and 90s enriched by modern electronic possibilities. In their multilevel music arrangements you can find both complex compositional forms and spontaneous jazz improvisation. Everything is set in a fusion of different musical worlds, which merge into one, quite unpredictable, mixture. Rich instrumentation, intense loops are the ways of showing individual music personality of the outstanding soloists: Cezary Konrad, Paweł Pańta, Dawid Główczewski. The essence of the Project is the piano sound of Łukasz Pawlik, who plays both the acoustic piano and electronic keyboard instruments.
