Guitar is accompanying me since over 30
years, that is not representative for the quality of sounds I produce this
way. At the beginning I liked the common singing by the fire (or in the yacht
cabin), later I appreciated the recreative power of it (always ready to use,
not tireing the eyes), and finally now it is often an object of common play
with children. As far as I consider it as hobby and fully non-professionally
(as I wish it would be forever) I carry about the joy of playing music is
not disturbed by the concience of the mistakes. The repertuar of my performances
contains poetry, sea songs and hiker's songs. I do not follow radio or disk
performances.
Photography is supported by
the wish of memorize and share the reality seen from my particular viewpoint
and also is accompanying me since long years. I also consider the photography
in a non-professional way, and do not participate in exhibitions or competitions,
simply having fun with what I am doing. Certainly, I cannot imagine an excursion
without the camera. The technology of motion pictures interested me recently
- saying the througth, more than recording the reality excites me the film
post-production, mastering and sound effects with use of computer. I also
use the Surround sound that goes well using the standard stereo recording
channels.
Sometimes the world around becomes very familiar and emerges a need for a
longer trip. The essential is not
to visit the distant paces, but to discover other landscape, other people
and habits. Other aspects of the reality that enriches my viewpoint. And,
as usualy, the range of impressions is very wide. There is no ideal country,
community or so. Some things are the most beautiful... in Poland!
Music is influencing my emotions
much more than the image. Therefore never too much of good music. This notion
can be interpreted in many of ways - for me the keypoint is the intention
of the artist. I reject those whos only aim is to be exceptional or vulgar.
On my disk shelf Beethoven is close to Jarre, The Beatles are placed near
Whitney Houston and Pod Budą near Nat King Cole. All these artists (and many
others) have their five minutes of my consideration. Recently I was inspired
by the possibility of software reconstruction of the archive records. Certainly,
nothing will brig back the lost data, but it gives pleasure to listen again
to the renovated vinyl on the top at my age of schoolboy.
