The concert dedicated to Niemen will be filled with songs written over the years and featured on albums such as: “Terra Deflorata” or “Spodchmurykapelusza”. It is also probably the first attempt to translate these outstanding compositions and arrangements into the language of the ensemble of instrumentalists that Natalia has formed. From the 1980s onwards, Czesław Niemen was a self-sufficient multi-instrumentalist, and he employed, as he called it, a robotestra – an advanced digital-analogue “machinery” of instruments to create and perform his music. The concert will also feature some of Czesław Niemen’s greatest “hits”: “Jednego serca”, “Dziwny jest ten świat” or “Płonąca stodoła”. Natalia Niemen invited Krzysztof Zalewski and Wojciech Waglewski to perform during Soundedit.
Before the concert, Piotr Metz will host a talk on Niemen’s life and works. Natalia, Krzysztof and Wojciech will be joined by Małgorzata Niemen. Czesław Niemen will also be posthumously honoured with the Soundedit Festival’s “Man with the Golden Ear” award in recognition of his: “visionary and pioneering solutions in music production”. This year’s festival will also be accompanied by an exhibition of photographs by Małgorzata Niemen: “Czesław Niemen in the lens of his wife”, which will be on display at the Gallery of the Łódź Photographic Society (ul. Piotrkowska 102).
The project “Niemen – known and less known” will perform on the stage of Klub Wytwórnia (Łódź, ul. Łąkowa 29) on 25 October (Friday) during the 16th edition of the Soundedit International Festival of Music Producers and Sound Designers. Tickets are PLN 149 and are available at: tickets24.pl, going.com, ticketmaster.pl, empikbilety.pl, wytwornia.pl and at the club’s box office.
