Grom - trailer: "GROM" is a kind of "Indiana Jones" story. Tibet, 1942. Nazis are looking for mysterious ancient wonder weapons. The Polish colonel "Grom" distorb in it them. It's his special mission for British secret services. Battles, encounters, monastery, bandits, magic, ancient gods and demons - I hope, you can hear it in 3 minutes of music...

Grom - Demon Of Fire: Colonel Grom fihting with the ancient Demon of Fire (demon's weapons are lightnings and fire-balls). The music is very dramatic, but congeneric enough to serve as a background for playing.

Grom - Out Of The World: Colonel Grom is talking with the ancient god - Padma. In this time he is "out of the world", in magic space, like in a dream. It is only one point in the game, where I decide to put kind of electronic music.

Grom - Siege: It's the siege of flying fortress of demons. We attack it by flying disc. The music is orchestral, but not so "classical" like in Trailer or Demon Of Fire.

A Fistful Of Gold: The game is in process, only the trailer is ready on this time. This is story about solo man, hunting for bandits, creatures and dragons for money. Really western hero, but in middle-age, fantasy world. Guys from Rebelmind ask my very strongly for music near to Ennio Moricone's style (because "macaroni western", of course). That's true, he is the master.

Wings Of Honour - march: Wings of Honour (City Interactive) "...creates a new genre: the flying sim adventure. Set in World War I it allows players to fight and fly a variety of combat aircraft..." A traditional march is a best music for start menu, don't you think?

Love Affair Of Gentleman by Tomek Kozak is my favorite animation film, which in I made the music. This is metaphysical story. The hero of film is playing a game with the devil. No happy end.

Salome: I wrote this music for Drama Theater of Warsaw, where Salome by Oscar Wilde was showed. It is the ancient legend about love, power, decadence, passion and holiness. A culmination of story is the wild, libidinous dance of beautiful Salome. I was inspired by music of Peter Gabriel.
