Zbigniew Chojnacki is an accordion/live electronics/multitasking player, improviser who can also compose. "With his accordion and heaps of live electronics, Zbigniew Chojnacki is out for musical risks without a safety net. His improvisations pulsate back and forth between ambient, noise, drone and ... blasphemy? In any case, each encounter between artist, audience, space and instrument is completely unlike any previous and all subsequent ones. At times relaxed, at times in a flurry but always on the way to new melodic connections.''
