My passion for music began a long while ago, when I was merely 13 years old, and has stayed with me ever since. Listening to hundreds of performers, thousands of albums with a diversity of musical material has meant being filled with intense emotions, flushed with excitement, and discovering new sounds still produces a remarkable sensation that can be replaced with no other. The work of Peter Gabriel has provided me with some unique experiences.

Is this project then a sort of ‘making your dreams come true’ or is it a conscious attempt at inspiring artists and, above all, an invitation into the wonderful and mysterious world of Peter Gabriel’s music, extended to all those who cannot imagine the world without music as well as to those for whom music seems to be but a superfluous background.

Initially, bearing in mind Szymon’s previous musical achievements, I intended to have Peter Gabriel’s tracks recorded for piano solo but Agnieszka’s showing up at the very first audition to rehearse with Szymon and have a go at some fascinating and unexpected arrangements has taken us quite a lot further.

Each and every artist to have appeared on the album has left their own musical imprint. From the START, until the CURTAIN goes down this musical tale is the product of their great collaboration, exceptional talent and the self-propelling positive energy.

The entirely non-commercial premise combined with complete artistic freedom at every stage of the recording have brought about, in my opinion,  a remarkably profound effect that will let no listener remain indifferent.

What I believe provided for the outstanding quality of the project was the range of instruments, unconventional arrangements and meticulous choice of tracks as well as the order in which they appear on the album. The diversity of tune and sound on the record is a fully deliberate measure. Starting with nearly classical, serene sounds, through jazz passages, elements of ethnic music, towards the end of the album, we get to feisty ‘psychedelic’ motives. After all, in the ‘secret world’ we can or even should expect the unexpected.
