LAST - ABOUT NEW CD
The fourth CD of the charismatic jazz trio, Confusion Project (Michał Ciesielski – piano, Piotr Gierszewski – bass guitar, Adam Golicki – drums) is another (after Primal) illustrative album. Just like in the previous CD, the main inspiration for the music is nature – although this time it's the concern about it's state. The band chooses this topic to express a musical manifest – a plea to treat seriously the problems we're facing as a civilisation.
The music, although still within the jazz fusion idiom, includes a lot of elements characteristic for such genres as progressive rock, metal, or drum&bass. This more heavy and dark sound perfectly fits the message of this album. Nonetheless it's still easy to recognise it's a Confusion Project album, full of melodies, rich harmonies and counterpoints and some illustrative elements.
The double meaning of the title of the album - „Last” - gives us a hint of what to expect. We can be the last to experience the world as we know it, or put some effort to make it last longer. And so you can find pieces about anxiety, denialism, melancholy, but also hope and acceptance. Focusing on such strong emotions is a way of saying that we're in a breaking point.
Confusion Project decided to take a stand in this matter with their music, but also with action. In year 2020 they started an initiative called #1CD1tree, and since then sponsored planting 1000 trees on several continents in places devastated by human actions. Also the album's digipack is going to be produced from recycled, ecological paper only.
