[ponapisach]

Długo czytałem "Wybór", bo to nie jest komiks na moje nerwy. Zdaję sobie sprawę, że wydarzenia opisują 1972 rok, ale naprawdę, daleko nie trzeba szukać, by spotkać się z podobną narracją i dzisiaj od osób, które nie mają za grosz empatii, albo po prostu nie znajdują się choćby w podobnym położeniu, a bardzo chciałyby ułożyć życie innym.

Istota powstania "Wyboru" jest jasna. Komiks opisuje sprawę sądową Marie-Claire Chevalier. W następstwie tej sprawy napisano we Francji nową ustawę, zniesiono restrykcyjne prawo, które karało kobiety więzieniem za przerwanie ciąży.

Cierpienie w komiksie autorstwa Carole Maurel (rysunki) i Marie Bardiaux-Vaïente (scenariusz) jest namacalne. Treść jest bolesna, kipiało we mnie. I niezmiennie wprawiają mnie w konsternację te same sytuacje, tutaj w komiksie, codziennie w życiu. Jak choćby to zdziwienie prokuratora (na kartach "Wyboru"), że 15-letnia dziewczyna nie zgłosiła gwałtu, bo się bała. Później usunęła ciążę. Naprawdę? Tak trudno wczuć się w jej dramatyczną sytuację? Wiemy jednak, że tu nie chodzi o to czy komuś trudno to zrozumieć. Tu raczej chodzi o to, że ktoś nie chce tego zrozumieć. I komiks tego nie zmieni, niestety. Jak ktoś ma fundamenty zalane nienawiścią, to trudno rozkruszyć taką zaprawę. Ten sam komiks, być może najważniejszy tytuł w tym roku, przedstawi kilka sytuacji, które mogą kogoś uwrażliwić. Oby. Jestem może egoistą, bo myślę głównie o najbliższej rodzinie i o tym, że w razie czego poradzimy sobie. Nie będzie łatwo, obciążenie psychiczne stanowi tu główny problem, ale i z tego można wyjść na prostą. Tak myślę. Zrobimy wszystko, żeby proces przebiegł gładko, żeby dać wybór, koszta nie mają znaczenia. Jestem egoistą, bo wciąż myślę przez pryzmat ewentualnego bólu w najbliższym otoczeniu. A co z tymi wszystkimi dziewczynami, które wyboru nie mają? Koszmar.

Koszmar przeżywają od pierwszych stron komiksu bohaterki. Córka, matka, siostry dziewczyny. Wsparcie jest ogromne, ale groza rzeczywiście autentyczna. Dobrze jest jednak przeczytać tę historię. Ona dotyka, przypomina, wskazuje, że prawdziwe cierpienie jednej osoby może (musi!) przyczynić się do godnego życia wielu innych. Tak jest zawsze, tak jest skonstruowany świat. Tragedia, niezgoda na krzywdę, ból i horror przecierają oczy polityków, sądów. Widocznie inaczej się nie da. Jako powieść graficzna, "Wybór" to koronkowa robota. Samo wydanie zwraca uwagę swoją jakością. Papier, rozdziały z retrospekcjami na kartach w innym kolorze, większa niż zwykle gramatura. Nie dziwi taki ruch wydawcy (nie mogę pominąć pięknie narysowanych postaci - chwytają za serce). "Wybór" musi przetrwać, musi być przypominany, ciągle wskazywany.

Olga Mysłowska / Michał Pepol / Patryk Zakrocki - Leggerezza

Poland, 2023, chamber folk / avant-folk Polish trio interprets Italian text with improvised vocals inspired by the unexpected and delightful tones of a prepared guitar, the kind of music that stokes the imagination within the cavernous vault of musical possibility. The restraint these artists show is refreshing, confidence in sparseness.

Preview First Track 'God Drugs' from Pure Phase Ensemble 6 feat. Anton Newcombe 'Live at SpaceFest!' - First Single revealed from Pure Phase Ensemble 6 with Brian Jonestown Massacre's Anton Newcombe

Nasiono Records has announced it will release Pure Phase Ensemble 6 feat. Anton Newcombe 'Live at SpaceFest!' in late September. This album is preceded by the first single 'God Drugs'.

Pure Phase Ensemble is an eclectic rotating group of musicians, who come together every year in December during Gdansk’s illustrious  SpaceFest!,. The group’s makeup constantly changes, guided by the artistic vision of a new curator every year and directed by Anna Szynwelska and Karol Schwarz of Nasiono Records , who has been responsible for its musical cohesion from the very outset.

This current incarnation was led by a true legend: Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, along with with Emil Nikolaisen of Scandinavian rock band Serena Maneesh. The six other musicians involved this year were drawn from various Polish alternative bands. They include Karol Schwarz (7faz, KSAS), Olga Mysłowska (Polpo Motel), Maciej Karmiński (Jesień), Marcin Lewandowski (Judy's Funeral, Castlings, Soon), Jakub Żwirełło (Oslo Kill City, Szezlong), and Kacper Graczyk (Aiodine, coding).

Just ahead of SpaceFest!, Nasiono Records hosts a workshop, with musicians improvising to produce a set of unique songs. These intensive sessions take place at Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art in the city’s Nowy Port district, the artists gathering inspiration amidst its post-industrial atmosphere. The festival then culminates in this music being performed and recorded in real time for the inevitable album release.

‘God Drugs’ is one of the seven tracks recorded for this album. Underlying the importance of festivals like this, Anton Newcombe says, “turn on the fucking radio…then turn it back off. That shit is bad for you. erm…lets have an urban contemporary rap festival everywhere and see what happens. Let’s have more DJ festivals…name one fucking important DJ now that people will respect in 30 years…name a record besides some classic jam that anyone at a club cares about. It’s all disposable. We are all trying to create our own culture because Western culture is dead”.

“I want to help establish SpaceFest! as one of the most important cultural events in Poland and totally relevant in Europe. I would like to be involved on a deeper level. I want to integrate culturally, artistically with all of Europe…well not the fascist part haha, not the neocons…not the Polanski eyes wide shut fuckers… but the artists”.

Another outcome of this latest SpaceFest! is a collaboration between Anton Newcombe and PPE 6 member Kacper Graczyk, which resulted in the track ‘Not Blowing Smoke Up Your Ass’.

In past incarnations of Pure Phase Ensemble, the group was curated by Mark Gardener (Ride), Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab), Ray Dickaty (Spiritualized), Steve Hewitt (Placebo), Jaime Harding (Marion), Chris Olley (Six By Seven), and Hugo Race (The Bad Seeds, The True Spirit).

SpaceFest! has figuratively transformed Gdansk into the intergalactic capital of Poland, presenting psychedelic music at its best with shoegaze, Krautrock and space-rock plus cosmic energy, intergalactic cats, forest goblins, psyched visuals, pagan disco and more. The workshop is organized by the Nasiono Association in cooperation with the Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art, andl is co-financed by the City of Gdansk.

Clocking in at just over 44 minutes  and priced at just €6.99, Pure Phase Ensemble 6 ‘Live at SpaceFest!’ will be released on CD and digitally on September 29, but can already be pre-ordered via Bandcamp.

First Glimpse of Pure Phase Ensemble feat. Anton Newcombe (The Brian Jonestown Massacre)

SpaceFest presents a brief documentary about the latest experience with Pure Phase Ensemble. In its current incarnation, the collective is led by a true legend: Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, along with with Emil Nikolaisen of Scandinavian rock band Serena Maneesh. Filmed by RSU / Agencja Vizualna, this film presents a sneak preview of what is to come on the ‘Live at SpaceFest!’ album and the story behind Pure Phase Ensemble 6. Every December during Gdansk’s illustrious SpaceFest!, an eclectic group of musicians from across Poland are joined by a guest curator from abroad to form Pure Phase Ensemble. The group’s makeup constantly changes, guided by the artistic vision of a new curator every year and directed by Karol Schwarz of Nasiono Records who has been responsible for its musical cohesion from the very outset. Through improvisation at a workshop organized by Nasiono Records and SpaceFest!, the musicians produce a set of unique songs during a week-long workshop ahead of the festival at the Łaźnia 2 Centre for Contemporary Art in the city’s Nowy Port district, seeking inspiration amidst its post-industrial atmosphere. The festival then culminates in this music being performed and recorded in real time for the inevitable album release. Anton Newcombe espoused one rule for this experiment – that there are no rules when making music… and one standard... “get weirder... be heavy. and dreamy. but not pointless”. Pure Phase Ensemble 6 is comprised of 8 musicians, including six from emerging Polish alternative bands: Karol Schwarz (7faz, KSAS) - guitar, vocals Olga Mysłowska (Polpo Motel) - vocals, keyboard Maciej Karmiński (Jesień) - drums Marcin Lewandowski (Judy's Funeral, Castlings, Soon) - bass guitar Jakub Żwirełło (Oslo Kill City, Szezlong) - guitar Kacper Graczyk (Aiodine, coding) - electronic beats, synths, backing vocals “I prefer to hear the sound bouncing off the walls and most festivals are outside and have time limits and various handicaps…I am more or less a jazz folk guy, I’m not an entertainer there to jump up and down and get you pumped…I just do as I feel…,”says Anton Newcombe. “I see myself as an idea person. I play like 80 instruments in as many ways as I can reinvent them because I am not a virtuoso… I want to contribute to Polish culture by writing at least one song that is worth listening to.” In past incarnations of Pure Phase Ensemble, the group was curated by Mark Gardener (Ride), Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab), Ray Dickaty (Spiritualized), Steve Hewitt (Placebo), Jaime Harding (Marion), Chris Olley (Six By Seven), and Hugo Race (The Bad Seeds, The True Spirit). Nasiono Records’ very own Karol Schwarz (7faz, KSAS) has been responsible for the Ensemble’s musical cohesion from the very outset. SpaceFest! has figuratively transformed Gdansk into the intergalactic capital of Poland, presenting psychedelic music at its best with shoegaze, Krautrock and space-rock plus cosmic energy, intergalactic cats, forest goblins, psyched visuals, pagan disco and more. While the workshop itself is organized by the Nasiono Association in cooperation with the Łaźnia Centre for Contemporary Art and Żak Club, this festival is co-financed by the City of Gdańsk. Look forward to Pure Phase Ensemble 6 ‘Live at SpaceFest!’, to be released on CD and digitally later in 2017.
