What do ex-members of STILO do now? What did they do after quitting the band? Who they are? We will try to answer these questions here.

JANUSZ IN PROJECT (28.03.2011)
Janusz Żukowski – saxophone- and clarinet player, known from the STILO’ line-up that created „Lisboa Avenue” album – has just sent us link to the “Music for J.M.”, the piece recorded by daroMinu Project.
– It’s virtual project – says Janusz, – with no fixed line-up now.
The boss in daroMinu is keyboard player Dariusz Brzeziński, the composer of “Music for J.M.”. Apart from Janusz, Brzeziński has invited to the studio guitar player Adam Prywata.
– We’ve recorded this piece in March this year, so it’s fresh stuff – adds Janusz. – The title is dedicated to John McLaughlin [famous jazz-rock guitar player].

JAREK GOES SOLO (1.11.2010)
Our previous drummer, Jarek Cieślak (fot. Robert Górka), has recorded his own solo album! You can listen to few compositions from it (“Ziemia”, “Troglodyta”, “Wahania”, “Masyw”, “Śmigus”, “Szuler”, “Wojna”, “Upał”, “Basodarma”) here:
Specially for guests of Stilospace Jarek has written short commentary about the project:
– The album is entirely made by me, including recording process. I have played classic drum kit and different percussions. Sometimes I’ve used percussion sampler – when I was not able to use some traditional instrument. The whole thing consists of 20 pieces, the last one was recorded with bass player Grzesiek Borzymowski. Inspirations? Homeless and fast-forgotten rhythms that walk through my head all the time. This album is just a home for them. Now I have to take care of the rest of my ideas, because they will get wild! It turns out that too many concepts mean problems sometimes. If you got any opinion about my project, please tell me. The form is not typical and I do not know what to do with this music.

DO YOU REMEMBER MACIEK? (9.10.2010)
…Miroński – drummer of the first STILO’ line-up? He had quitted the band after first three gigs. But he didn’t stop playing. Now, after reactivation of rock group Vahanara, he is preparing to recording session with this band. Before entering the studio (November/December), he has taken part in mini-photo session with his band mates. Here is one of the shots, made by Robert Górka in one of Warsaw’ old gates …

MUSIC OF MARK (14.09.2010)
On the occasion of working on new STILO-site, we’ve asked Marek Dutka, our old saxophone player, for writing few sentences about his life after quitting the band. He has sent us a short resumee and two fragments of his music – composed, played and recorded all by himself!
Marek: Both a little and a lot has happened. A lot, because my interests in sound engineering and music production became a job – I am now working as a sound engineer. And a little, because even though I write a new song every now and then, I don’t do anything with them. I don’t feel ready yet, but I believe it will change. For now I only show the world my background music I sometimes compose for other people. Here are some examples:
