{"product_id":"innercity-ensemble-ii-2cd","title":"Innercity Ensemble - II 2CD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"II\" is a second album from Poland's improvising supergroup Innercity Ensemble consisting of members of the following bands: HATI, Stara Rzeka, Alameda 3, Dwutysięczny, Contemporary Noise Sextet. \"II\" is double album and will come out in a limited run of only 500 copies courtesy of Instant Classic label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInnercity Ensemble came into public attention thanks to \"Katahdin\" - a debut album released two years ago. - Since then almost everything changed, mostly the fact that we finally got to know each other - says Kuba Ziołek (of Stara Rzeka, Alameda 3 fame). - We're constantly in touch, we meet at the concerts. Thanks to that album we even started some musical collaborations leading to different musical directions. \"Katahdin\" was created on a strange basis of being very focused. The recordings of \"II\" were quite different and felt more natural, liberating - he adds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"II\" is divided into two cd's - \"white\" and \"black\" covered with artwork by Kuba Sokólski (Merkabah). - Black and white are the most radical opposites. Between them there is everything else. And I guess \"everything else\" is what we find most interesting - explains Ziołek.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInnercity Ensemble's debut was recorded on a course of three days in Mózg club in Bydgoszcz. This time they decided to hold the recording session in a beautiful Palace in Ostromecko. Engineered by Jarek Hejmann, mixed by Ziołek and mastered by Michał Kupicz, the album is still largely based in improvisation. - We had only one track composed before the recording but even this one on the cd sounds different than it was supposed to - says Ziołek. - Improsation that productive and leading to such interesting compositions wouldn't be possible if we didn't carry the music in ourselves - those rythms, melodies and sounds - adds Rafał Iwański (HATI, X-NaVI:et).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"II\" is promoted by the single \"White 1\" with an accompanying video by Danuta Kiewłen: youtu.be\/Didb1mFwaj8.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Instant Classic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56922812350846,"sku":"CLASSIC019CD","price":57.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/4161\/5230\/files\/INNERCITY_II.jpg?v=1771619494","url":"https:\/\/8merch.shop\/products\/innercity-ensemble-ii-2cd","provider":"8Merch Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
