Jacaszek is an author and producer of electroacoustic music, known for his unique blend of electronically prepared sounds with acoustic instruments.

With his innovative approach to music production and mastery of blending different sonic elements together, Jacaszek continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Combining electronic textures with organic instrumentation is Jacaszek's forte. His ability to seamlessly merge these two worlds creates a mesmerizing listening experience that transcends genres. Drawing inspiration from various sources including classical music and contemporary electronica,

Jacaszek has crafted a distinct sound that is both hauntingly beautiful and emotionally evocative. Each composition tells a story through carefully constructed layers of soundscapes that transport listeners to ethereal realms. Whether it's the delicate piano melodies or the intricate manipulation of field recordings,

Micha Jacaszek is an absolute master of melancholy: the Polish composer who's spun dramatic shades of darkness and light into gold for more than a decade now, from the trickle-down electronics of Treny and artful gloom of Glimmer to the vapor-trailed verses of their looming spiritual cousin KWIATY. KWIATY - which was inspired by An English anthology of metaphysical poetry from the 17th century - is the most vocal-driven material Jacaszek's ever written, melding his stormy melodies with a breakout performance by Hania Malarowska (of the Warsaw-based rock band Hanimal) and the robust supporting roles of Joasia Sobowiec-Jamio and Natalia Grzebaa, with lyrics adapted from poems from Virgil and Robert Herrick.
