Jacaszek is an author and producer of electroacoustic music, known for his unique blend of electronically prepared sounds with acoustic instruments. Born in 1972 in Mrągowo, he currently resides in Gdansk, Poland. His captivating compositions have earned him a place among esteemed artists such as Deaf Center, Bersarin Quartett, Rafael Anton Irisarri, Dictaphone, Greg Haines, Murcof, Pan-American, Richard Skelton, Loscil and many more. With his innovative approach to music production and mastery of blending different sonic elements together, Jacaszek continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Combining electronic textures with organic instrumentation is Jacaszek's forte. His ability to seamlessly merge these two worlds creates a mesmerizing listening experience that transcends genres. Drawing inspiration from various sources including classical music and contemporary electronica,

Jacaszek has crafted a distinct sound that is both hauntingly beautiful and emotionally evocative. Each composition tells a story through carefully constructed layers of soundscapes that transport listeners to ethereal realms. Whether it's the delicate piano melodies or the intricate manipulation of field recordings,

His 2020 album, Music For Films, marks the naturally-occurring intersection of his identities as a solo artist and a film score artist. The collection is now sequenced and released as a single autonomic movement.

Two tracks originated from the 2019 documentary He Dreams of Giants; another was first used in 2008 project Golgota wrocławska. Context removed, they fuse seamlessly; ten years time between some recordings, erased.

A visceral dynamism emerges here with a relatively restricted palette of sounds. Music moves in measured steps, inconspicuous yet holding attention. Opener The Zone is curious and brittle, crawling on keys and a foundational bass thump as strings seep beneath in a raspy hush. Centerpiece Dance folds into an ominous and molasses-slow trot through minor chords, spacious percussion, and static, all under the spell of a mournful violin lead. Windswept vocals haunt Liina from a distance, while they sink deeply into orchestral closer November Late. Jacaszek’s work is that of an auteur; he has signatures that he uses faithfully and with much aplomb. Listeners can expect subtle gesture and baroque grandeur on Music For Films: soaring melodies cloaked in reverberation, delicate piano ruminations, and textural craftwork capable of creating and disrupting motifs, smothering and enchanting minds.
