"...there was a concert in the dark—a Jazztopad tradition—by improvising musicians, cellist Adam Webster, percussionist Aleksander Olszewski and Jarosław Jachimowicz on clavinet D6. For nearly twenty minutes their minimalist soundscapes fluctuated between dreamy textures, ambient abstraction and strong rhythmic pulses.
