The encounter between Adam Bałdych and Jacob Karlzon has its own story – subtle yet meaningful. Their musical dialogue began in 2012 during the recordings for the album ‘Imaginary Room’ for the label ACT, where their musicianship first met in the midst of a group of outstanding European improvisers. That moment became the seed of a relationship based on trust, mindfulness, and a shared understanding of sound. In 2026, the artists come together again in their most intimate form – as a duo with their album ‘Hummingbird.’ It is not just a continuation of their collaboration, but its natural completion. Their dialogue is extraordinary: violin and piano do not compete with each other, but coexist and breathe in a shared rhythm. It is deeply moving music – restrained yet intense, focused on the quality of sound and the beauty of detail. And two artists who have nothing left to prove – they can just be, listen, and create together. In the silence between the sounds lies what really matters.
