Recorded at the picturesquely set Monochrom Studio, People from East  from the duo Diomede echoes experiences and exploits of the two artists, and projects their perspectives on music. Simple melodies and harmonies of the album are inspired by folklore and improvised music, encompassing and transcending jazz.

 

Diomede’s idea is a space-and-time oneness with listeners, a journey deep inside the music and inside the experiencing self.

People from East was published on 25 October 2017. Diomede are composed of Tomasz Markanicz (saxophones) and Grzegorz Tarwid (piano).

Currently collaborating with the pianist Grzegorz Tarwid in the Diomede music collective; they recorded their first album at the Monochrom Studio in the spring of 2017. Tomasz Markanicz’s music spans many genres, held together by his improvisational explorations. He is also a sought-after session musician, and a composer for film, theatre, and other occasions.
