about

"Mandala" is second album by band Algorhythm.

Algorhythm is an open approach to the improvisation. The melodious phrases mixed with the non obvious rhythmics. Mathematics and metaphysics. The geometry of water. The Algorhythm band was founded in 2013. From the very beginning of its existence, its creative work binds together different ideas, music trends and personalities. The only changeless determinant of its creative activity is a free artistic expression. While the band’s name it’s a symbolic word - symbol It relates to a concept of algorithm which is commonly used in every area of the contemporary live. So it’s the music of Algorhythm; it reflects everyday emotions and thoughts of modern man.

One can grasp Mandala from many perspectives - first, as music from the heart and as flow. But beyond these concepts we all naturally understand, it can also be grasped on a higher level of complexity, via intellect and under a microscope. One could then notice layers of detail, rhythmic and harmonic textures, various percolating genres and free improv expression. The album is the product of the cumulative experience of the musicians that comprise Algorhythm. Musicians whose roots stem from work with well known performers such as Leszek Możdżer, Tymon Tymański and Sławek Jaskułke – as well as committed work on their own projects. Mandala is therefore the product of musical, as well as personal explorations of the collective’s members. The album’s title is tied to the tibetan monks’ tradition of mandalas – layered, gossamer designs of colored sand, cast on a circle within a square. Their subsequent destruction is meant to remind one of the ever-changing nature of things. In this way, the band indicates their readiness for change, the destruction of their own efforts to build compositions. Mandala is the fruit of a winter recording session in Monochrom studio located in wilderness among mountains. It was mixed at Bass Hit Studio in New York City by Grammy winning engineer Dave Darlington (Wayne Shorter’s Alegria, Madonna’s Erotica).
