Sounds of silence

Quite recently I had an opportunity to meet one of my best friends. As it was the holiday season, there were also opportunities for small gifts. My friend has always been an absolute fan of music and theater, especially the combination of these two forms - the musical. There is probably no artist he wouldn't know. He's also a fan of Polish music and often finds exquisite songs and performers that almost nobody knows about. For him, culture is to be not a primitive chatter, but a very deep and important experience. Wojtek shared the album of Tęskno, 'Mi', with me. Of course, the CD impressed me a lot. The album is the work of two young Polish women, the vocalist Joanna Longić and the pianist Hania Raniszewska. The girls write almost poetic texts. Their music is full of delicacy, but also individual strength.

In the photos, the girls don't smile, they are serious, thoughtful, as if they were in a completely different world. They have no artificial smile or artificial make-up, they are natural and simple. They almost look like sisters. However, their music combines different acoustic and modern sounds, escaping standard classifications.

To sum up, the duo's album consists on delicate and subtle sounds. The lyrics are evocative, sentimental, lyrical and not obvious. There are sounds full of peace and harmony in the album that require careful listening, and at the same time there are stimuli that remind us of our longings.
