ELMA
From the beginning, her professional life has been constantly organised around musical improvisation: from her artistic and stage activities (as a soloist, a band leader, as well as a composer of music for her own projects and for theatre), through her academic research (her doctoral thesis focused on psychological aspects of musical improvisation), to her therapeutic work (as a music therapist in improvisational approach). Those multidimensional activities have been inspiring and forming her musical sensitivity and visions, personal language of composition and improvisation, as well as distinctive vocal expression.
Finally, all of these materialized in a phonographic debut. „HIC ET NUNC” in quartet with Verneri Pohjola, Dominik Wania and Maciej Garbowski (iMp 2014) becomes a beginning of a new story... ELMA “Hic Et Nunc” (iMp 2014) has been enthusiastically acclaimed by jazz reviewers, including top notes by Jazzarium and JazzPRESS, and found its place on the podium of the Polish Jazz 2014 Top Ten ranking. The second album of ELMA Quartet is “Ad Rem” , to be released by Hevhetia 29 February, 2016.
