Jamick: From Early Electronic Compositions to ABS Remixes and Beyond

 Andrzej Kulbiński, known by his stage name Jamick, began his musical journey in 1989 when he started composing music on his friend's Amiga computer. This sparked his passion for creating electronic music, and soon after, he purchased his first keyboard, a Casio MA-120. In 1994, Jamick expanded his musical toolkit by acquiring a Casio CTK-1000 keyboard and an Atari ST computer, which marked the beginning of his deeper exploration into electronic soundscapes.

Jamick's musical influences are rooted in iconic electronic composers such as Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Kitaro, Kraftwerk, and experimental artists like Art of Noise, Marek Biliński, and Władysław Komendarek. These inspirations shaped his early works, including his debut album W Pogoni Za Spadającą Gwiazdą (Chasing a Falling Star), which, along with numerous other tracks, was recorded on cassette tapes—a common practice for aspiring musicians at the time.

As his skills progressed, Jamick acquired a Yamaha MU-80 sound module, which opened up new sonic possibilities. This addition played a crucial role in the production of his second album In The Flash, where the listener can hear his growing fascination with jungle and drum and bass rhythms—two emerging electronic genres during the mid-90s.

Jamick's evolution as a composer wasn't confined to instrumental music. Over time, he began crafting songs that incorporated his own lyrics. His musical endeavors were also influenced by the Polish rock band Republika, leading him to experiment with other genres. He played the keyboard for the modern-rock band Maria Nefeli and later joined the group Next In Line, with whom he recorded a demo and performed at the Benátská Noc festival in the Czech Republic, sharing the stage with bands such as Anthrax.

Despite his foray into the rock scene, Jamick eventually returned to his electronic roots. His track "Rebirth" signaled a new creative direction and became the foundation for his album Homo Roboticus. This project reflected his fascination with the fusion of human and robotic themes, a concept he continued to explore in subsequent works such as Season's and Koniec Znanego Ci Świata (The End of the Known World).
