____________________
GRZEGORZ TARWID - pianist and composer. He gained experience from masters of Polish piano: first from the veteran traditional jazz musician Wojciech Kamiński, then Andrzej Jagodziński and Michał Tokaj, before moving to Copenhagen to study and drawing inspiration from the Danish school of improvisation. He has performed with artists such as Zbigniew Namysłowski, Maciej Obara, Marcin Masecki, and Jan Młynarski. He is a co-founder of the Sundial trio with Wojciech Jachna and Krzysztof Szmańda, the Diomede duo with Tomasz Markanicz, the SPRZEDAM project with Maciej Moretti and Jędrzej Łagodziński, and the Alfons Slik duo with Szymon Gąsiorek. In January 2019, he curated the Piano Room festival at Warsaw's SPATiF club.

Molar (Fetler / Prościński / Weber) performs material based on Weber's compositions, with creative input from the other musicians, representing a blend of electronica rooted in the 1990s and an avant-garde approach to jazz, with a touch of trance inspired by the best European models.
