Michał Górczyński graduated from the Music Academy in
Warsaw (diploma in clarinet, 2003). In 1998 the Michał Górczyński Trio
received an honourable mention at the 1st ‘New Tradition’ Folk
Music Festival, which gave the group the possibility to make recordings for
Polish Radio, the organizer of the event. Since 1999 he has collaborated
with a wide range of artists from the world of theatre (Lech Jankowski,
Magdalena Smalara, Artur Lis and his ‘Makata’ Visual Arts
Theatre, Paweł Mykietyn) and music. He performed at the ‘Warsaw
Autumn’ Festival as a member of a youth orchestra conducted by Jacek
Kaspszyk and as a soloist with ‘de Ereprijs’ and the Polish
Chamber Orchestra under Jerzy Maksymiuk. In the field of avant-garde music
and performance, he has collaborated with such artists as Peter Kowald,
dj Scanner, Andrzej Izdebski, Zdzisław Piernik, John Edwards, and Anna
Baumgard. His discography includes three cds: Boys Band Trio Curvatura
Grande (2000), Pink Freud Zawijasy (2000) oraz Górczyński/Piernik Energa
one (2001). In 2001 and 2002 he toured Russia with Boys Band Trio, giving
concerts in Jaroslav on the Volga, Moscow and St Petersburg.
In 1998 he started to work on his own concept of survival performance, based
on ‘Energistic Manifesto’. He develops this idea through his
performances (at the festivals: Gdynia Summer Jazz Days, ‘The Sting’,
‘Fortalicje’, the festival-performance in Szentedre, Hungary and
in the galleries: ‘Spiż 7’, ‘Eufemia’, ‘Dom
Plastyka’, ‘Kotłownia’), as well as in lectures promoting
the Manifesto and the idea of improvisation. In 2002
he took up wide-ranging activities connected with poetry (music to texts by
Anna Akhmatova, Itzing Manger, Lejb Najdus, William Blake, St John of the
Cross, Japanese poetry, contemporary Polish poetry), ethnic music (combinations
of folk and classical instruments), performance (project at the Department
of Mechatronics of the Warsaw University of Technology) and contemporary
music (as a member of Kwartludium Ensemble).
