Kacper Krupa Sekwa

Kacper Krupa is one of the most distinctive saxophonists of the younger generation, a key collaborator of Skalpel and Łona x Konieczny x Krupa (whose album Taxi was certified Gold in Poland), and leader of Siema Ziemia, with whom he has performed at prestigious European festivals and concert venues such as the London Jazz Festival, Jazz Jamboree, Le Périscope, and Bimhuis.
SEKWA marks another important step in Kacper Krupa’s artistic journey. The album was created at the intersection of jazz, improvised music, contemporary chamber music, electronics, and ambient, forming a diverse yet coherent whole.
The album’s title refers to a skateboarding sequence of tricks - a fluid chain of movements based on rhythm, intuition, and a willingness to take risks. The music itself operates in a similar way: structured forms meet openness, precision meets free improvisation. It is a record of movement, transition, and the search for new sonic trajectories.
The music on the album was recorded mainly using saxophones, flute, modular synthesizers, and drum machines. However, the sounds of acoustic instruments are largely processed electronically and sampled.
Blending angular saxophone and flute lines, ambient glitches, quirky rhythms, breakbeats, and acidic synths, his music moves freely between jazz and electronic music. Think the focused urban energy of the new London jazz scene, where breakbeat, IDM, and jazz collide.
