Otwock

from Once Upon A Train by Oranżada

/

about

Get ready for an psycho rock electric sound journey, by train from
Otwock. Oranżada is a group of musicians from Otwock and Radość near
Warsaw. The group, set up in 2001 has issued 4 albums and played
several hundred gigs, including major festivals: psychedelic Klangbad,
or last year Open'er in Gdynia. Influences of German kraut rock,
melancholy psychedelia and post punk are clearly perceived both in
recordings and live performances of this very interesting band. Thanks
to "Samsara" album, issued in spring 2010 the group gained wider
publicity. Their new aspect was very well received by public and
critics. The last concerto on the album is "Impro-Miron", based upon a
poem by Miron Białoszewski, entitled "The ride to Otwock".
Off-handedly it became the key to new activities, recordings and
concerts. Preparations of a new musical material for a theatrical
performance of PKP Falenica club resulted in establishing new album
"Once Upon A Train". This time the group created a musical story,
taking place in the realities of railway leading from Otwock to Wawer.
The direct inspiration were modernistic station buildings built in
1934-1936, as well as their surroundings. 10 stations and 10 different
musical pictures, in which kraut rock concoction of rhythm and
Slavonic psychedelia is wrapped in western guitars. Charming
melancholic melodies, inspired by the folklore of pre-war Jewish
diaspora, as well as exposed Slavonic instruments, take us for an
ecletic travel in time and space, pulsating with rhythm. The original
sound of Once Upon A Train is obtained not only by exposing emotions
of five musicians, but also by playing with emotions of erstwhile
passengers. With the untypical orchestra, including cajon, trumpet, or
harmonica Oranżada annex new spaces. The musical material was
registered in in Analogowe Rogalowo and keep analog character by
mastering in Golden Mastering-Ventura CA

Oranzada Otwock, Poland

Oranżada let themselves explore a more deep, experimental, music. Music scores like Szalony Paź, Hipnoza are an example of pure avant-garde, reaching compositional levels ala John Cage and maestro Penderecki. Musical intuition swings from one extreme to another, showing how every band member is open to various divergences made of intuitive improvisation reaching theatrical prog jazz climaxes. ... more
