About Me

We are working on the new record. Gigs are temporarily suspended. We have started working together again with Tomek Bergmann (founder of Mordy, co-composed and recorded the first 3 CDs). I am thrilled because we had not been doing music together for about 8 years until last month when we finally hooked up together and listened to what I and Bart were working in the studio on. Tom took the guitar and we started doing guitar music again. See what happens... this band is a continuous metamorphosis. the thing which is special about this moment with Tomek is that with him I just do not have to talk; we understand each other in an instant without having to open our mouths. But we constantly do talk and discuss and create which is the best thing about this present moment in our lives. Big respect to Tomek and to our other former co-mordyrs. GW

Influences: Their first inspirations: noise, electronic music and alternative rock were in time broadened to include jazz, dub, lo-fi and contemporary improvised music scene. They play modern avantgarde music across genre classifications. Thus the term Off Roots – a label used by the band members to name their style. Their music juxtaposes trans guitar rock based on afrobeat and funk, ambient, acid jazz, space kraut, etc. They have been compared to i.e.: Captain Beefheart, Can, Pop Group, Henry Cow, Velvet Underground, bands of the Canadian Consetllation label, even to Frank Zappa. Their own list of inspirations includes: the Minutemen, Savage Republic, Magma, Sonic Youth, Swans, Fela Kuti and African music, Sun Ra and Don Cherry, japanese avantgarde, no wave, acid and experimental house.

Pierwsze fascynacje zespolu to noise, muzyka elektroniczna i rock alternatywny. Z czasem poszerzyli zainteresowania o jazz, dub, lo-fi i wspólczesna improwizacje. Graja wspólczesna muzyke awangardowa przekraczajaca granice gatunkowe. Stad termin Off Roots, którego uzywaja dla okreslenia tego co graja. Muzyka zespolu laczy transowe utwory gitarowe oparte na afrobeacie i funku, rock, punk, acid jazz, space kraut, itp. Porównywano ich do min.: SBB, Captaina Beefhearta, Can, Pop Group, Henry Cow, Velvet Underground, grup skupionych wokól wytwórni Constellation, nawet do Franka Zappy.

WIELKOLUD EP, 2007

I think it sounds decent.... In 2007 I set up my own studio and this recording and mixing work was almost exclusively a work on one machine (comp) by one person (Greg). Dzidzia (the keys) was gone for three months (August- November 2007) just to play one gig with us when he returned and then in early Januray 2008 he was gone for good. In late 2007 Bart (dr) was most of all concentrating on his other project Na Bani. After the session in July 2007 I took my time to mix it. Tough job learning new software and handling the hardware, recording vocals, bass, overdubs, samples, programming, working with Radek Rykaczewski on "Bishop," late nights..., etc. For the sake of staying alive. For memory and patience. Trying not to fuck up. Trying not to overdo. This is "Wielkolud" - labor of love and determination. Peace, Greg Welizarowicz

Sounds Like: picture this: on a beach a number of people jump together in unison and throw balls at each other. All of them in the air. The sound of sand flying up in the air and falling down on sister Beach. everything is still in the eyes of the Indio sitting on a dune. hear the flute? hear the wind? hear the unity?
