The Bad House, Róża, Kler, Wołyń - these are just a few of Wojciech Smarzowski's most famous productions, to which the soundtrack was recorded by the Gdańsk-based saxophonist and composer Mikołaj Trzaska. One of the most respected representatives of the jazz avant-garde in Poland performs with improvisers from all over the world, is a member of the Shofar trio, collaborates with the group Ślina and with the band Remont Pomp. At the same time, for more than a decade he has been composing his own music for plays and films; for his work in this field, he received two Orły, an individual award at the Polish Film Festival in Gdynia and won a double Grand Prix at the Krzysztof Komeda Film Festival. As he talks about the behind-the-scenes of composing: Working with Wojtek Smarzowski requires me to participate in the film as an actor rather than as an illustrator or commentator of events. I am not a Hollywood type of composer; my task is to follow the character and his emotional states. I try to show everything that cannot be played in front of the camera. Nikolai Trzaska's film music harmonises perfectly with the image, and when performed live it takes on a completely new expression. During the special concert, Mikołaj Trzaska will be accompanied by the other members of the Royber Trio (Walicki / Moretti), and the repertoire will include themes from Smarzowski's films and from Paweł Maślona's new production Kos.

The trio, with the working name Royber, was formed by Mikołaj Trzaska, Macio Moretti and Ola Walicki; the musicians had the opportunity to meet a few years ago on the occasion of the reactivation of the group Łoskot. As a trio, they decided to create and perform in October 2020, when they played their first concert at Elbląg's Galeria El. The band members hardly need any introduction, as they have been "over actively" creating the national musical universe with all their intensity for years, being pillars and at the same time forefathers in their particular fields. The band's repertoire consists mainly of Trzaska's film music, although recently there have been some joint compositions by the group's members, interspersed with flowery collective improvisations. Currently, they are at the stage of creating the repertoire for their first debut album. The musicians will play their own compositions and film music that appears in the films of Wojciech Smarzowski and others.
