Bartek Trocewicz plays keyboards for The One Ahead. His unique style is essential to the band’s signature sound.
In the form of questions and answers we introduce you to the person of Bartek. Below is some information about his musical experience and a look at what he does in the band.
How much influence did your family have on your musical development?
My dad instilled in me music and taught me elementary knowledge on my first synthesizer. Without him I don’t know what I would do.
Was the piano a conscious choice, accident or need?
It is difficult to make clear judge. I started to learn as small kid and it was not conscious choice. With time I realised that piano is my vocation and any other instrument won’t replace it.
How different is the music you listen to the one you play?
I listen to various kinds of music. From rock and heavy sounds to very calm ballads. Our music is connection of everything I like.
Did you have more stage fear before going on stage playing covers or did you play your own music?
In my feeling nervousness is the same regardless of the type of music you play. Doesn’t matter if it is cover or your own – you always have to do your best.
What is your biggest dream about music?
I always dreamt to meet in my life people with whom I could play instinctively without explaining simple things. Just sit and play, and everybody knows how it is supposed to flow.
What do you like more: playing concerts or working in a studio?
Work in a studio is pleasant. It comes with satisfaction if you are able to create something cool but I cannot hide fact that it can be tedious and monotonous job. In the other side, gig, is something incredible, all this adrenaline and view of the audience… Whole essence of playing in a band.
What was the most difficult for you during the studio recording?
Time … definitely time. If we want to do something good, we need a time.
Do you remember any slip-up or funny situation at the concert?
Generally, we never had a mega mishap. There are mistakes, but then you smile and keep playing.
Why did you decide to participate in this project?
The musician has a need to create something, to do something in this direction. I can’t stand in one place. And our cooperation and the music we create is exactly what I was looking for.
What from your point of view connects you and what divides you?
We share a common goal and willingness to cooperate, we get along well. When it comes to differences, everyone has a slightly different view on the compositions, so it’s better for us to create the perfect sound mix.
