The music of mature Europe digested in the atonality, neo-Romanticism and minimalist experiments seems to be great support in his poetic excursions towards Europe Impossible, Europe with no Chaos, Europe of philosophers, artists and craftsmen.

About:
Rafal Gorzycki - Ecstasy Project leader, looks at music through its twentieth-century struggle. Starting with improvisation and jazz he turns his attention towards the experiences of the European chamber music of the previous century. This is where he tries to find substantial solutions for his musical experiments. The music of mature Europe digested in the atonality, neo-Romanticism and minimalist experiments seems to be great support in his poetic excursions towards Europe Impossible, Europe with no Chaos, Europe of philosophers, artists and craftsmen. And this is this vision that makes him study the rich heritage of the last century avant-gard. With his band, whose members come from the cultures of classical music, yet again does he discourse about the beauty and lyricism devoid of the pressure of the noisy commerciality. Ecstasy Project tells us how beautiful and wise Europe is with its experience. Let us listen, although so difficult it is sometimes to believe in this beauty... (Zbigniew Zielinski)
