Bezimienny

Dariusz Jackowski’s latest EP explores the theme of anonymity. The titles of its four tracks are different equivalents of the word “nameless” in Polish, Japanese, Turkmen and Zulu, respectively. Stylistically, the release moves between film and theatre music, creating a suggestive and tension-filled soundscape. Almost orchestral passages — choral voices and bells — are contrasted with the heavy sound of distorted, droning guitar, giving the compositions a strong sense of drama. The unsettling, western-tinged track “Nanashi” also carries the spirit of Ennio Morricone’s work, subtly filtered through Jackowski’s distinctive musical language.
