One of the most remarkable and innovative prog rock acts worldwide hails from Poland and is set to release its second album, Idmen, on 24 July 2009: the five-piece, Indukti, consists mainly of instrumentalists (Ewa Jablonska – violin, Piotr Kocimski – guitar/saz; Maciej Jaskiewicz – guitar, Wawrzyniec Dramowicz – drums, Andrzej Kaczynski – bass), shares the vocals on its compositions between a variety of guest musicians and works with unusual instruments such as the dulcimer and trumpet. The result is an album with eight extremely intense, complex and intelligent tracks which are marked by their energy, unusual arrangements and atmospheric instrumentation. “Indukti is an induction of five minds, a musical conglomeration designed to stimulate the imagination and draw forth exceptional experiences and unique emotions,” violinist Ewa Jablonska explains her group’s musical parameters, adding: “Five members, five composers. Usually we rely on improvisation when we rehearse in our practice room. The way we work takes time, but we think it’s worth the wait. We never treat music as a job to be performed within some specific, predefined period, so there’s no pressure; we take as much time for our compositions as we need.”
