In addition to the trumpet, he studied double bass, piano and classical singing – including Gregorian chant – choral and chamber conducting, arrangement and composition. In his work, he uses the language of jazz, 20th century classical music, ethnic music, and modern music, along with European improvised music.      Piotr Damasiewicz, photo by Grzegorz CzechDamasiewicz has represented Poland on four international music platforms: Take Five Europe, Jazz Plays Europe Laboratory, Art Meetings, and Melting Pot Laboratory (Jazztopad). In the last two, as a leader, composer and instrumentalist, he developed the idea of open improvisation in contact with other fields of art. He is currently studying for his doctorate at the Instrumental Department of Feliks Nowowiejski Academy of Music in Bydgoszcz.[1]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Band activities and composing[edit]Compositional works[edit]Educational activities[edit]At present[edit]Collaborations[edit]Bands and projects[3][edit]As leader[edit]As co-author with Gerard Lebik[edit]As multicultural curator[edit]Collaboration with different artistic platforms and projects[edit]Selected discography[edit]As leader[edit]As co -founder[edit]As a sideman[edit]Other[edit]References[edit]History[edit]For over a decade, Damasiewicz has been on a musical and spiritual journey.In 2019, as a pilgrim-musician, he travelled 4,186 km on foot from the Ukrainian border to Santiago de Compostela. During the six-month journey, he made over 100 recordings of his solo impressions in various sacred spaces, where he examined their acoustic characteristics. A year earlier, together with his partner Agnieszka Kabath, he lived and recorded his improvisations in an old chapel in Vin Sur Caramy in Provence, where he immersed himself in prayer and meditation with sound, recording several dozen hours of music. Throughout his journey he interacts with various individuals. These informal, spontaneous meetings generate unique amalgamations and understanding at a deep level. One of the most meaningful experiences in his life was the visit to the double bass player Barry Phillips, with whom he spent time talking and making music. Similar events were visits to the home of Antoin Rooney in New York, or the home of the drummer Ngom Babu Herim in Zanzibar. Face-to-face meetings with masters have been key moments in the development of his musical personality.
