about

“Their highly intuitive improvisational approach functions as one mind with two divergent sides that are at once seamlessly independent of other often moving in opposite directions as well as simultaneously interdependently moving together toward the same muse in absolute energy.

“Cichocki and Seabrook both provocatively alter the acoustics of their individual sounds and develop them into architectonic structures - from distortion to crystalline, delicate to intense, flat to sharp, dense to featherlight, intermingled with pianistic runs, jazz patterns, (I heard shades of Monk as well as reminiscences of Satie in Cichocki’s renderings) a splash of vintage rock recollections, percussive thumps, avant-jazz comping, trills, electronic buzzing, all derived from the pure virtuosity and ingenuity of these two sound artists whose passionate improvisations paint a metaphysical mural rife with symbolic and allegorical meaning.”

Nora McCarthy, Cadence Magazine


“The benefit of Brisk Distortions‘ approach is that each track is free to create its own small musical world, free from the forces of inertia typically acting on extended improvisations.”

“It is clearly a cohesive document, a focused exploration of a particular idiom of guitar/piano improvisation rather than an assortment of random attempts to do something interesting.”

“I also want to praise Cichocki’s writing; the three compositions, “Scribbles”, “Rays”, and “Breathe Out” speak to his ability to render a wide range of musical atmospheres, and all three are melodically, rhythmically, and formally engaging.”

Mat Munz, Jazz Right Now
