Eta Carinae
Eta Carinae是Grzegorz Bojanek作为个人独奏计划的代号。Grzegorz Bojanek是网络厂牌www.etalabel.com的创始人,风格以ambient, experimental及electroacoustic为主。第一张个人专辑(self-titled)出版于2002年夏天。其创作灵感来自于Stanislaw Lem 与 Carl Sagan文学作品。唱片已于网站www.syntezatory.pl公布。其中一首作品还收录在Requiem 厂牌的出品”Sleep Well - chapter II"中。在2004年,Eta Carinae出版了他的第二张专辑“Movement”.一年之后专辑“::3::”随之出版. 现在听众还可以听到唱片的remix版本。这张唱片收集了Eta Carinae与来自亚洲(PEI –台湾)、北美(Andrew Duke-加拿大)和波兰的音乐家的演出合作。同时,年轻的Jazz吉他手Michal Kolasinski也与Eta Carinae有过多次的演出合作。包括连续两年,2005年和2006年的华沙电子音乐节,在华沙的Zacheta国家美术馆的合作。另外Eta Carinae也曾在波兰国家BIS电台有过多次radio live的演出。近年来,Grzegorz将精力集中于华沙电子音乐节,并在波兰为青年电子音乐家组织举办音乐会。他们将活动称为WEF ON TOUR,到现在为止,WEF的音乐家已经在波兰几个城市进行了演出,包括:Czestochowa, Poznan, Krakow,Radom and Lódz.Grzegorz还与Zen Lu(中国)创办了中国波兰实验音乐计划—ChoP. 借此让两国的艺术家通过创作新品质的声音-可被描述为organic ambient的声音-来进行文化交流。ChoP的音乐是基于交流录制于中国与波兰的声音素材,现在,已经有多位中国和波兰的音乐家被邀请参加此项交流计划。已经出版了4张专辑,8位乐手参与了创作。
第四张Eta Carinae专辑也已经在www.weplayrec.cn出版。这张专辑Grzegorz主要运用了live instruments, field recording和electronic sounds。
现在 Greg在准备一张他2008年在波兰多场演出的现场录音。另外,他也在准备一个叫做"08Deutschland"的计划。这个计划将会邀请波兰的艺术家,基于Greg在德国的短期旅居时录制的field recordings进行再次创作。所以,stay tunned。
Eta Carinae is the solo project of Grzegorz Bojanek, the founder of the net label:: www.etalabel.com. He focuses mostly on ambient, experimental as well as electroacoustic music.
The first album (self-titled) was released in summer of 2002. It was inspired by the literature of Stanislaw Lem and Carl Sagan. The record has been acknowledged by the www.syntezatory.pl website. One of his compositions was included on the "Sleep Well - chapter II" record, released by Requiem Records. In 2004 EC released its second album called "Movement…". A year later the next album "::3::" came out. Now you can listen to the compilation disc with remixes. On this album EC has collaborated with artists from Asia (PEI – Taiwan), North America (Andrew Duke – Canada) and Poland. During the concerts EC is very often supported by a jazz guitar player of the young generation, Michal Kolasinski. They played together for the first time in Zacheta National Gallery in Warsaw during WEF 2005 and again in 2006. Eta Carinae performed also several radio live acts in national BIS Polish Radio.
Nowadays Grzegorz concentrates also on the Warsaw Electronic Festival. He organizes concerts of the young Polish electronic artists in Poland. This initiative is called WEF ON TOUR and so far WEF artists have played in cities like: Czestochowa, Poznan, Radom and Lódz. (more to come...)
Grzegorz, together with Zen Lu (China) is also a founder of the Polish - Chinese project ChoP. Both musicians confront their cultures and create new quality of sound which can be described as organic ambient. The music is based on the samples recorded in China and Poland. Several other musicians from China and Poland were invited to take part in the project.

Minoo
Minoo,由波兰人Pawel Pruski创立的音乐计划,风格主要跨越实验电子与爵士乐。从2007年开始,Minoo加入了华沙电子音乐节,更多的从事组织工作。2008年,Eta Label出版了一张公开的专辑计划- Material Spirit.主要将精神性的音乐具体化并录制在这张CD上。08年初,Minoo与中国艺术家Sin:Ned共同为We Play! Records下的ChoP计划创作了专辑,并在厂牌旗下出版发行。这张专辑所有曲目全部是即席的创作与实验的声音。另外,Minoo还是Metamusica计划的制作人,一个连接实验音乐与哲学的音乐计划。

Nejmano
Nejmano个人独奏计划是由Maciej Nejman建立。他是一位来自波兰Gdansk的黑管演奏者和音乐家,并且有三年用噪音等元素来尝试即兴创做氛围音乐的经验。早年,受到德国Techno音乐的影响,他是用samples和dirty beats来创作音乐的。随后,他被外在的声音所吸引,例如field recording, sound experiments, 现场乐器与现代科技的融合—-即电脑处理与数字效果。从那时起,他的音乐已经转变成为纯氛围音乐与空间性的声音了。现在Nejmano计划的音乐可以被描述为极为巨大的黑暗和声,粗糙的声音,和失真吉他混合的声音。这是一种你每次重新聆听都会再发现全新意义的混杂之声。
Nejmano is a solo Project created by Maciej Nejman- a clarinetist and a musician from Gdansk, Poland. For three years he has been playing ambient music with noise elements saturated with electronic improvisations. Earlier, inspired by German techno, he had been composing music based on samples and rough, dirty beats. Later he became obsessed with ‘outdoor’ sounds, field recording, sound experiments, and live instruments blended with modern technologies- computer processing and digital effects. Since that time his music has been evolving into pure ambient and spatial sounds. Now Nejmano Project’s music can be described as a tremendous dose of dark harmonies, rough, dirty sounds and throbbing compressors blended with extremely distorted guitar sounds. It's a some kind of “sound gallimaufry” which can be reinterpreted every time you listen to it.
