Press for: "Summer Feelings"
"...Sad Man On The Train" may well be a conscious reference to the Marcel Duchamp painting (almost) the same name, and is certainly suspended in a similar light, with mobility and melancholy. The distant chatter of "Irritation" breaks up the slightly limited sound palette of the album as a whole, which in its reflectiveness and restraint shows great promise."
THE WIRE (David Stubbs), UK
"...As great as all that stuff is, Tomasz Bednarczyk takes an angle on electronic music that's at once refreshing in its unapologetic use of melody and classic in its pedigree. Very highly recommended."
Boomkat, UK
"...E su tutto uno slancio di commozione, intesa nella sua accezione primigenia cum movere, che insieme al creatore dell'opera riesce a turbare anche noi."
Blow Up Magazine (Nicola Catalano), IT
"...He already has another release slated for later this year, so watch out epic instrumental music lovers, Tomasz is on his way to becoming a highly revered prolific artist, even if he still is working toward that University degree."
Radio K, (Now Like Photographs / Minneapolis) US
"...The music of Bednarczyk presents a very nice soundtrack for a day like this. But if I would be entirely honest I could as easily play 'The Pearl' or 'On Land' and still be in the same mood."
Vital Weekly (Frans De Ward), NE
"...Delicate ambient pieces may be a strange outlet for reflections on summer, nevertheless Summer Feelings is a stunning work filled with emotion, which is something that so many ambient albums released in recent years lack."
Time Off Magazine (Leanne Simpson), AU
"...Wykorzystujac glównie rozciagniete frazy fortepianu, podsycone cyfrowymi chrzastami, Bednarczyk sytuluje sie blizej Maksa Richtera czy Sylvaina Chauveau - specjalistów od postklasycznego liryzmu. Ladne i teskne. Z taka plyta jeszcze bardziej szkoda lata."
Exklusiv Magazine (Kamil Antosiewicz), PL
"...An album dense with emotive spatial character and powerful imagined narrative."
Otsechka.com
"Perfect plane music."
Richard Chartier (12k/Line), US
"...The piano retires in the more electronically-oriented closing piece, allowing the crackle of an evening campfire to dominate—one final evocation before sleep sets in."
Textura, CA
"...It’s amazing the wonderful varieties of beautiful and poignant electronic music that is being released these days especially from innovative, relatively new artists."
Rated: 10 / 10
Larry Johnson (EarLabs), US
"...Overall, an engaging and enticing release from a promising young artist, working magic from an economy of means."
BGN (whiteline1.wordpress.com), UK
"...Each track portrays a very distinct mood and despite the small amount of tools at hand, results in admirable variety."
