I see and take music as a way of living. It is a personal view...
Although, this idea is not self-made only, it's always with the experience in mind and constant exploration.
And supported by many biographies.
I'm always surprised how music works in life. It can reach every possible aspect.
Also, we always choose a role in the society, a position, and a perspective of perception.
My way is sound, basically. But the consequences are endless, as I don't stop walking.
I came from Bytom, Poland.

Activity/Solo
I play solo concerts and performances in various situations.
Recently I made music for radio reading the book Terrorist by John Updike, read in Polish Radio Pr 3.
As Doministry I also cooperate with theatres and other artists.
Modern Composition
This is the activity which is still in developement. But actually is quite important part of my work.
My works of this kind were not published nor performed yet.
Scores to follow.
Wholistic Improvisation
Brother/sister of compositional process. One of the main methods of my work.
This method is highly dynamic and always fresh process. It assures using full experience and craft potential to resolve any need. The idea is to follow individual spirit while aknowledging the moment, situation, others, and a place. So in the end new music is created, yet always pointed at a target.
I use any possible tool to construct music this way. It can be higly complex noise structure or plain hiphop beat.
Co-operations
I co-operate with Dj's MARTIN and CUEFX as a recorder player and vocalist and also beat-boxer.
Also ferquently performing as DRUM'N'BASS MC Doministry in numerous parties in Cracow and Katowice. I was regularly performing in Club Absurd in Krakow.
Theatre is very important part of my musical live.
