Jerzy Mączyński

Described by the Quietus as a "saxophone prodigy", Polish producer, composer and instrumental whizz Jerzy Mączyński is tough to pigeonhole. He channels his jazz training into forward-thinking genre-bending sounds that are well evidenced on this year's 'DO 555PS', a sci-fi concept album that's part kosmische, part prog, part industrial techno and part 20th century minimalism. And having cut his teeth working alongside Chicago vanguard Hieroglyphic Being (under the Universal Harmonies & Frequencies moniker), Mączyński is well positioned to shift improv into uncharted territories.
