Rafal Luc new CD release ‘acc++ca’, London – UKby Rob Howard |
 Polish accordionist Rafal Luc has released an album of modern music that combines the accordion with computer accompaniment. His perfectionism and extraordinary ability combine to create a perfect symbiosis between his instrument and the sounds generated on the computer. The title track by Cezary Duchnowski ‘acc++ca’ one might even hear references to Gubaidulina’s works. In Michal Moc’s ‘Betegeuse’ for accordion and tape a more familiar Rafal Luc shines through. The soundscapes created in this album are very much the sounds of our technological age with the acoustic accordion almost playing the role of human amongst the technology that surrounds us. Listen with an open mind. Tracks: Pavel Heindrich – ‘Accant’ (2014), Slawomir Kupczak – ‘4 Dances’ (2014), Cezary Duchnowski – ‘acc++ca’ (2012), Michal Moc – ‘Betelgeuse’ (1999-2000), Mikolaj Laskowski – ‘neath me, itch!’ (2014) Rafal Luc studied the accordion with Owen Murray at the Royal academy of Music in London where he received a Distinction and the Lady Theodore Holland Prize for the second highest BMus graduate. His concert career has seen him perform with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, The London Sinfonietta, The London Contemporary Orchestra, the Rambert Dance Company among others. He regularly collaborates with composers writing new music for accordion including Cezary Duchnowski, Pavel Heindrich, Gavin Higgins, Aleksander Nowak, Julian Phillips, and more, and has given many world premieres of these and other composers’ works.
