Jacaszek

Michał Jacaszek, who records under his last name, is a Polish musician and producer who debuted in 2004 with an instrumental album full of quirky melodies and samples over unpredictable electronic rhythms. As he continued to record throughout the decade, his sound gradually became more understated and subdued, though surges in aggression and noise were not completely eliminated. In early 2011, he began an association with Ghostly International by appearing on the label’s SMM: Context compilation beside ambient contemporaries such as Leyland Kirby, Svarte Grenier, and Rafael Anton Irisarri. Toward the end of the year, he released his first Ghostly album, Glimmer. ~ Andy Kellman
