About Me

"They proved me right,
They proved me wrong,
But they could never last this long"

Ego Boogie,
Little Whip
ZZA KURTYNY ISIS, Adam Janicki's author's song series
live recordings from ZAK Art and Valhalla:
I guess it's best to let the songs I wrote speak for themselves.
These 4 tunes here are chosen from a repertoire of over 300 songs I wrote, some recorded at home, some recorded live during the "Zza Kurtyny Isis" author’s song live series.
I write new poems, songs and prose all the time, I also record quite a lot of these ideas whenever I can. Songwriting is my life.
The songs here change quite often, so remember to pay me a little visit once in a while.
Also, my first selection of lyrics is on its way.

"AJ COLLECTION"
Countless CD-R's under countless titles, containing countless songs recorded in the June 2005 - October 2006 period, given away to friends for free. Mostly shitty performing/recording quality, nevertheless great ideas throughout. Some songs from those CD-R's made it onto "Stoned Gypsy Wanderer" and "Yellow Scarf", other, counted in hundreds, still wait for a proper treatment by their author.
