Amazingly another Jerzy Gorka Artkiestra (masterpiece): Struktury from 2008

 



Do dreams really come true?  In this case, yes. 

My friend magically found another work from him that is almost as compelling as the earlier Drugie, posted back here as a holiday treat (amazingly, that link has still persisted after so many weeks, like a henna tattoo, despite the best efforts the AI deleter/ 'destroyer of worlds').

The first track is a 'side-long' piece of music filled with spoken passages, and it would be great to remove those to focus on the music, but no matter, it's amazing to hear something so well-composed in today's much debased / degraded / senescent Taylor Swift and The Weeknd (of whatever) world, as if we were back at the Garden of Eden selecting vegetables to pluck and cook a divine meal with. It would be nice as well to have some background regarding what this work is all about, and probably someone can enlighten us in comments below.

Tylko Spokoj, indubitably sounds like something off a late seventies progressive fusion LP:



A track translated as Thoughtlessness on Five


 


Gotta love that dissonant and meandering riff, full of energy and intriguing originality, played in quasi unison with bass, a drum, and synths!

As foretold more information from our dear knowledgeable contributor:

Jerzy Górka Artkiestra is a project from Poland founded by the former drummer of Golem, Jerzy Górka.

The original ten-piece formation (in 1998) returned with only 6 former members after the dissolution of Golem in 2004.

One year later, the album „Struktury“ (= Structures) was released.

"Struktury" is an album inspired by the book "Kalkwerk" by the famous Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard. The first track: "Świnie vel Kalkwerk“ (= Pigs aka Kalkwerk), which lasts 23 minutes, uses recitations from this novel.

Unfortunately, I cannot translate the content of the quoted passage.

Thomas Bernhard is generally considered to be a provocateur and a nest-soiler.

His literature is like a rollercoaster of emotions.

He dissected the Austrian soul without moralizing. He elevated the tirade of hatred to an art form, Bernhard could rant passionately, he saw idiots, liars and Nazis everywhere. It was upsetting, it hit the mark, it caused scandals and international attention.

It can be assumed that the text used in Struktury is "typical Bernhard".
