“Blur is the second album by the Polish pianist and composer Mateusz Palka. Either his first solo recording, made in the spacious Monochrom Studio far away in mountains. It’s important to know for creating a proper canvas of associations while listening. The album contains 14 short pieces, like classical etudes or a series of impressionistic paintings, in which Mateusz put the essence of his composing approach, emotions he is dealing with and transforming them into sound. He does it sensuously, with natural noble and truthfulness, called to evoke the sense of vivid nostalgia, making listeners miss places they have never been. From the very beginning music fully captures the space and invites you to a journey through vital stories.”
