Immortal Onion
Their distinctive sound is down to them skillfully combining energetic and rhythmically complex fragments with minimalist, trickier themes and lyrical themes.
The technical and musical proficiency of Immortal Onion's members would not be so surprising if not the fact that the oldest member, Ziemowit Klimek is currently in a 1st year student of composition and entertainment arrangement at the Academy of Music in Gdańsk in the class of Prof. Leszek Kułakowski. Wojtek Warmijak graduated high school last year and the other composer - Tomir Śpiołek will graduate this year from both high school and the Secondary School of Music in Gdansk.
Although Immortal Onion is a rather new band, the young trio has performed at many festivals including the 41st Film Festival in Gdynia. They have also composed the original soundtrack of two films shown at the following festivals: the 2nd Animated Film Festival in Gdansk and the 17th Silent Film Festival in Pod Baranami Cinema in Cracow.
As the laureates of the 6th edition of the program "Jazz phonographic debut" organized by the Institute of Music and Dance, they released their first album "Ocelot of Salvation", which had it's premiere at the Warsaw Summer Jazz Days Festival 2017.

„The album we get as a final result, is a refined, sophisticated, and yet very powerful work. Clearly, it is very carefully designed, and at the same time it is rather distant from a classical approach to jazz. It seems that the pivotal component of the album is the mood, which Immortal Onion keeps building and altering in a fascinating way, thus creating a seducing, cinematic athmosphere.” Jakub Knera, noweidzieodmorza.com
