PROGRAMMA
Bartek Wąsik plays Radiohead „Daydreamer”
Daydreamer is twelve original arrangements of Radiohead songs for solo piano. It is also a personal musical story by Bartek Wąsik – one of Poland’s leading pianists, composer and arranger, an artist who crosses the boundaries of sound. In his latest project, he takes on Radiohead songs to create their surprising, intimate versions.
Daydreamer was born out of a love for the dreamy, trance-like, yet constantly
experimental and always alert to the sounds of our time, music by the band of Greenwood and Yorke. „These songs have been accompanying me for years at crucial moments in my life,” says Bartek Wąsik, „they put me in a light vibration, haunt me and open up a whole world of associations that I wanted to share.”
Daydreamer is an album for those who sometimes feel like outsiders and identify with Thom Yorke singing: „I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo”. It’s also the soundtrack of dreamers perceiving hidden meanings, secret messages in the real world. From well-known songs, Bartek Wąsik brings out unobvious themes and hunches blossoming in the music. He is guided by his intuition and excellent knowledge of both Radiohead’s work and the various musical genres he has been involved in for years: from folk, through piano classics, to experimental and avant-garde ones. His music evokes the expressiveness of the originals, even if it seems to radically reverse their character.
The first track on the album, Everything In Its Right Place is a declaration: everything is as it should be. Daydreamer is also a tribute to Bartek Wąsik’s beloved instrument – the piano, whose sound in this project surprises with its intense colour palette. It is the musical autograph of this original artist.
