PING is back - playing experimental Norwegian rock since last millennium. Inspiration from diverse artists like Zappa, Melvins, Fred Frith, Ween, dEUS, Tom Waits and Wilco can be heard through all albums, combining elements from 60s roots to modern metal and electronica.

The new album "8 Canary Composers", recorded by the renowned Ensemble Phace under the direction of Nacho de Paz, offers an extraordinary journey through the contemporary music of the Canary Islands. Eight composers - Cecilia Diaz Pestano, Dori Diaz Jerez, Gustavo Diaz Jerez, Jose Luis Perdigon de Paz, Laura Vega, Juan Manuel Ruiz, Leandro Martin and Rubens Askenar - present a kaleidoscope of musical languages that reveals the vitality and diversity of today's creativity. Far from regional or stylistic labels, the project invites us to listen to how territory, memory and personal experience live on in contemporary sounds. The works, inspired by motherly love, the sea, science, folklore and spirituality, show multiple ways of experiencing and reinterpreting the music of the islands.

We start by saying “Wow, this is very good,” then we listen again, and we come to the conclusion that Ségui sô (“Return to the Roots”) is an exceptional release. This is great, very great organic fusion between jazz, prog, and West Africa (Dogbo the Montrealer is originally from the Ivory Coast). I put Coubli, the previous album (2021), back in my ears to compare. In this one, Dogbo manifests the West African elements of his musical heritage with more presence. Which results in a relatively more typical blend of Afro-pop and jazz. Ségui sô is of a completely different mould. The fusion of the various roots is deeper and more intrinsic, allowing a completely different tree to emerge, and to bear quite unique fruit. Coubli looked more like a very successful grafting exercise, while Ségui sô is a testament to genetic-level coalescence.

The drums of Marius Couvreur and bass of Otto Kint form the beating heart of the album. Each track has its own distinct groove and character, crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Melancholic and intimate acoustic moments contrast beautifully with the energetic, jam-like feel that characterizes the other end of the album’s spectrum. Saxophonist Elias Storme joins guitarist Rebekka Van Bockstal in using effects, enriching the sonic universe even further.

After a long period of preparation and work, I am delighted to share the news of the upcoming release of my debut monographic album, which will be released by DUX. VISIONS is a journey through my musical visions and worlds, as well as chamber music interpreted by exceptional artists: the Arditti Quartet, Julia Wawrowska, Andreea Chira, Pavel Efremov, and the Nemesis Quartet (Łukasz Dyczko, Karol Mastalerz, Oskar Rzążewski). The album was recorded at the Witold Lutosławski Polish Radio Concert Studio in Warsaw using Dolby Atmos technology, and its sound image was captured by the extraordinary Bartek Gardziński. This is the fulfillment of a great artistic dream I have harbored for years.

The record Interplay: Duet for One and for the Other brings together two albums for piano and Disklavier — Diagram and Projection and Spring Scenes — which engaged me as pianist, com­poser, and producer throughout 2024 and 2025, and which were conceived as an artistic inquiry into the shifting boundaries between human agency and machine autonomy in the contemporary world. This project was carried out as part of the Second­Level Master’s in Piano “Play&Rec”, directed by Maestro Roberto Prosseda, with the support of Bösendorfer Klavierfabrik GmbH.
