Jurek

Jurek Jagoda - Born in Gdańsk, a multi-faceted creative, musician composer and author, also active in the field of visual arts.

Music

As musician, he is a graduate of Grażyna's Bacewicz Music School in Gdańsk in piano class. The rest is his passion that will stay with him for life. In high school, college and later in life, Jurek works on his own musical technique, playing the piano and guitar and writing his own compositions. He is also the author of lyrics for own songs. His currently available musical output includes projects for a jazz piano trio, solo albums, e.g. "Adrenaline" (2007), arrangements for various instruments, songs and music with picture.

Jurek Jagoda is also the founder and leader of the Jurek Jagoda Trio. The group was active in 2007-2012 years and recorded two albums "Songs Without Words" (2010) and "Liberated" (2011). Both albums with his compositions. The album "Songs Without Words" for Jazz Trio can be considered his stage debut and was noticed in the ranking 'Albums Of The Year 2010' of the British jazz magazine Jazzwise. The song „If Only I Could Tell You" from this album was also included in the compilation „For Jazz Audio Fans Only vol. 4" by Japanese music journalist Yasukuni Terashima. A CD with a compilation of studio and life performance with his trio was also attached to monthly polish jazz magazine Jazz Forum (03/10).

Creative life.

In high school, in addition to music, his wide-ranging interests related to the creation of space direct him to another path of formal education. This bears fruit with a diploma in the architecture department of the Gdansk University of Technology.

In his university years, as well as in his later professional work, he is more interested in the creative field than in engineering. He gains experience in Warsaw's interior design studio and as an assistant stage designer at the National Opera in Warsaw. Besides he cooperates as a kind of multi-tasking unit ( graphics, music, photo / video ). Then he has been running his own creative studio for several years. He is looking for projects that would allow him to integrate multiple elements, including musical and visual.

Jurek's experience also includes about three years of creating spaces in a multicultural environment in the UAE as a freelance creative or senior designer. Overall, his individual design work referred to museum exhibitions, commercial interiors or stage arrangements, photos and graphics and various projects for private audiences.

Present

Overtime, the breadth of his work has inspired him to seek a more focused path and a desire for reinvention. Alongside his music making activity, he has turned to projects that integrate complementary elements, such as music with moving images, photography, as well as writing or creative direction, while also utilizing his skills in design.
