Disperse

In December 2007 Marcin Kicyk, Jakub Żytecki and Rafal Biernacki met to form a band called DISPERSE. Fascination with artrock, fusion, metal and jazz contributed to setting the project music of which would abstract from common musical patterns and advance listeners’ imagination. During the first half a year of its existence, the band makes four songs and in March Szymon Balicki, drums, joins the band. However, during that period Disperse plays only during rehearsals. By the end of June Szymon leaves the band due to indisposition and is replaced by Konrad Biczak (ex Artrosis, Sacriversum). At the beginning of July, the band records their debut demo album ‘Promo 2008’ in SPAART studio in Boguchwała; mix and mastering by Jacek Młodochowski. Disperse, at that time, occasionally plays small concerts. In January Przemek Nycz (drums) joins the band. Successful cooperation between musicians leads to deciding on the direction the band wants to take. Inspired by meditation, sounds of nature and bands like Cynic, ToTo, Portal, Aeon Spoke, Planet X, Devin Townsend and Allan Holdsworth, Disperse composes new material. In the meantime, together with Spiral, they play some concerts. At the end of July and the beginning of August, after reaching an agreement with Piotr ‘Mitloff’ Kozieradzki on him managing the band, Disperse records their debut album 'Journey Through the Hidden Gardens'. Urszula Wójcik (Spiral) was asked to lend her voice in two songs.
