Piotr Damasiewicz

Piotr Damasiewicz - composer, trumpeter, multi-instrumentalist, educator, traveller and curator of international music platforms. In addition to the trumpet, he also studied double bass, piano and classical singing - including Gregorian chant - choral and chamber conducting, arrangement and composition. In his work, he uses the language of jazz, 20th-century classical music, ethnic music, modern music, along with European improvised music and experiment. For over a decade, Damasiewicz has been in a constant journey, musical, among others. One could say he is characterized by being in perpetual motion. Travelling all over the world, he reacts to situations and places with which he interacts with sound, often experimenting with acoustics, objects and instruments. He has made musical trips to Africa, Asia, North America and a large part of Europe, including residences significant for the artist in the Faroe Islands, Ukraine, Serbia, Switzerland and Portugal, where he had the opportunity to deeply confront the local creative environments, co-creating or participating in various projects and music meetings. The work and play of Damasiewicz can be heard in various authorial editions. From the multiplayer ensemble „Power Of The Horns,” where he writes compositions for 8 to 18 musicians, through chamber quintets, quartets, trios, such as „Mnemotaksja,” „Into the Roots,” „Viennese Connections” or „ImproGraphic,” to orchestral works such as „Hadrons” (a symphonic quintet).
