Maciek was born, grew up and learned his trade in Krakow, Poland. He moved to London age 21 where he worked as a professional musician, composer and producer on several jazz, blues and experimental albums, as well as TV writing credits to his name. In 2014 he moved across the world to Hamilton, New Zealand where he now lives with his wife and writes, performs and produces albums for other artists as well as his own.
The compositions on the album reflect the strong influences in Maciek’s life. AWA, ‘river’ in Te Reo Maōri, was inspired by the three great rivers, that became natural anchors at differing times in Maciek’s life: Vistula, Thames and Waikato. The album developed out of the unequalled natural beauty of Aotearoa New Zealand and its indigenous Maōri culture.
A soundtrack for a film yet to be made, it portrays the awe and wonder of experiencing an utterly unfamiliar nature and culture, for the very first time.
AWA was created with the help of musicians from across the world: Aotearoa – New Zealand, Italy, Poland, UK, Uruguay and USA:
Maciek Hrybowicz – electric and acoustic guitars, programming
Caylen Crawford – arrangements, keyboards, electric bass on Fantalia & Blindside Flank, electric guitar on Pahiatua
Noel Kaa Reid – percussion
Alberto Santarelli – double bass
Andrew Hewat – drums
Grant Mason – trumpet and flugelhorn
Andrew Blake – soprano & baritone sax, flute on Fantalia
Artur Dutkiewicz – piano on Blindside Flank
Elizabeth Gray – voice and kōauau on Mink Hollow, pūkāea on Kāwhia Hot Water, also Karanga (female call) on Kāwhia Hot Water
Rob Hughes – soprano & tenor sax on Gdańsk
Carlos Pla – electric bass on Kanikani Kiwi
Hinemoa Pohatu – voice on Gdańsk
Te Aturangi Stewart – Karakia (chant) on Kāwhia Hot Water, voice on Mink Hollow
