MicroTones is my first iOS app – a microtonal synthesizer, allowing simultaneous playback of up to thirty sinewaves set with accuracy to one hundredth of a hertz.

You can place new sinewaves just by touching the screen, adjust volume (moving up and down) and frequency. Combination of multiple sinewaves lets you create instant drones and ambient atmospheres.

To adjust frequency range use scale displayed at the bottom of the screen – move to lower/higher frequencies, zoom in to adjust sinewaves with more accuracy, or zoom out and see the whole picture.
Remove one or more sinewaves just by dragging them to the bottom of the screen, or all at once by shaking your device.

Available on the App Store!

“Seas Of Tranquility” by FQP & PussyKrew is on tour!
Together with Stefan Wesołowski we’ll be playing in Paris on May 12th during Vision’R festival, and on 14th in Suedhain gallery in Kassel.

I’m finishing this short tour on HAT Center’s Performing Media #2 finissage – on 18th I’ll be playing in Głośna with live visuals by Marek Straszak.

Ingerencja w same ścieżki stała się konieczna jedynie przy 271011#2, zremiksowanym przez Kaliskiego, co odbiło się na starannie zrównoważonym soundzie z wysuniętymi dronami i fantastycznie brzmiącymi smyczkowymi legato niemal żywcem wyjętymi z Tired Sounds of Stars of The Lid. Perełka polskiego ambientu!

My remix of “Green Faces” for Christopher Willits Remix Project was included in special compilation released by overlap.

This compilation features almost 50 tracks selected by Christopher from many submission, and some done by his friends.

Połączenie żywego instrumentu z elektronicznym szmerem automatycznie przywodzi na myśl obrazy pełne goryczy, bezradności i pustych, pozbawionych kolorów przestrzeni.

LiveLooper is simple double mono looper with reverb and record options, made for improvising with acoustic instruments.
It was originally prepared for Stefan Wesołowski.

LiveLooper was created in Max/MSP 6, with help of Gigaverb external made by Juhana Sadeharju & Olaf Matthes.

The beautiful sounds of Wesolowski’s violin work very well together with Kaliski’s electronic background, which is quite delicate on most tracks (the exception being 281011#3 which includes quite some feedback distortion).

I’ve designed and coded new HAT Center website, have a look here.

Ewentualne podejrzenia o wyrachowanie ulegają jednak szybkiej weryfikacji, kiedy 281011 zaczyna dynamicznie oscylować między dwoma przeciwstawnymi atmosferami: beznamiętności i furii.

281011 is collaborative album recorded with Stefan Wesołowski on violin, and released by Few Quiet People. It came to life during preparations for concert at “Culture 2.0″ conference at National Audiovisual Institute. We were asked to play by PanGenerator to promote Dodecaudion – spatial audiovisual controller.

For this project I’ve created custom application in max/msp, that used OSC messages sent from Dodecaudion to control volumes and panning of prerecorded samples (drones and field recordings), as well as different effects. Sound was fed into long looper that helped me easily create layered composition. Stefan was also using this application, as his violin was recording on second, shorter looper.

Effect is densely layered, seemingly linear, but yet very interesting album with six tracks, and one special remix made afterwards by me (track no. 2).

Tracklist:

• 1. 271011#1
• 2. 271011#2
• 3. 271011#3
• 4. 271011#4
• 5. 281011#1
• 6. 281011#2
• 7. 281011#3
