Brunette Models is a Polish-Cypriot musical project for experimental electronic music and sound sculpture, in the style of ambient music, atmospheric, hesychasm, deep listening music, and is one of a pioneer of this kind of music in Poland, although outside the media and without publicity.[1][2][3]

Piotr Krzyżanowski[]

Brunette Models is the alter ego of the artist Piotr Krzyzanowski, who was born (1974) and grew up in Toruń (Poland). He graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy (Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń).[1] He was involved in projects for the Warsaw Electronic Festival (WEF)[4] and Contemporary Electronic Soundscapes (CES).[5] He also was a journalist of the „Estrada i Studio” magazine.[6] Krzyzanowski is active in music production (, ) and the implementation of sound, too. He performed live at the International Ambient Festival in Gorlice, 15 July 2004[7][8][9] and many more. The music of Brunette Models has been played by radio stations.[10] In August 2009 a video-clip by Polish multimedia-artist was released with a track from the „Apsychastenia” album.[11] Krzyzanowski designed and constructed hardware and software for high-resolution recording (Digital eXtreme Definition) on a 24-bit/352.8 kHz workstation.[12] Krzyzanowski founded the Cypriot label Anadyomene' Secret Records. After 10 years this site was closed by a massive hacker attack. From 2018 April, the web-portal has been made fully working again.

Musical development[]

A characteristic of Brunette Models music is that it homes in on the dominant tone color, as a fundamental aesthetic value, which is a trait of synesthetes. For the past few years he has not officially published pressed albums.[13] He withdrew from the world and focused on music only, without promotion, A&R, PR and without even connection to the internet. In his artistic manifesto[14] he motivated this asceticism, that today's world looks more at the name of the composer, than at the music. BM thinks it is not a good. In music he sees mysticism as a possible prayer to God, a kind of hesychasm.[15][16]
