Invention Aleksander Debicz

Debicz reaches for Bach's miniature masterpieces and blends them with his own compositions inspired by hip-hop. The result is a sophisticated mixture of rich aroma, which can be tasted both by connoisseurs and seekers of new experiences. "I play Bach because I like it!" - he says with laughter and nonchalance, just to pursue the details of baroque ornaments, tractates and history with excitement on his face a second later. He decided to record the complete Inventions and Symphonies of the great

master of keyboard music to show their condensed beauty, timelessness and truth enchanted in them. However, the artist would not be himself if there were no

compositions of his own on the album. The power of creation and improvisation lures him from the very beginning of his musical path. This is why we may find four toccatas inspired by the collision of hip-hop and baroque music in Invention. "Hip-hop? Pianist?" - one could ask. Why not? To Debicz there are no boundaries in art or music. He listens to everything, absorbing the whole colourful world as it is without categorization, just simply creating his own surprising combination of flavours.

After the premiere of his first album Cinematic Piano, he was compared to Einaudi and Arnalds, and he gained attention from the media. The second one, Bach Stories - a collaboration with cellist Marcin Zdunik - dazzled connoisseurs and experts with its artistry, both in baroque music interpretation, as well as its chamber improvisation.
