Anna Zaradny - sax (who also played in the Włochaty band) played with them. Robert and Anna run the Musica Genera publishing house. Robert, Anna and Kacper together create a new project called Gastrula. At the end of the 90s, Anna Zaradny joined on the saxophone and bass guitar (EP'98). In the years 2000-2002, the band Stuckonceiling in the line-up of Majewski / Piotrowicz / Zaradny performed extensively, played at the Audio Art festival in Krakow, Jazz in E, Copenhagen Jazz Festival, and also played abroad, incl. in New York (Knitting Factory, CBGB, ABC No Rio), Chicago (Empty Bottle), Philadelphia. The band has been in existence since 1990 and has passed through a lot of changes in it's music and personal dimensions. Since the beginning, the band has been involved with the alternative scene. It released many recordings (generally tapes) in that time, that are only historical for now (ex. "Wahadla Godzin" MC). Since 1997 the band has noted big changes in it's music. Experiment with form, intensification of it's own language and resign of affiliation to a variety. In '98 and '99 new recording sessions took place. The change of music meant a change of crew - from quintet to quartet. In September '99 it released - "Na Horyzoncie Rwert" CD. This material is a deconstruction of the band's characteristic, hermetic, disharmony, rock form and disclosures inclination to the experimental and improvised music. After this experience, comes time for revising the identity. References to the traditional varieties have been renounced. Unexpectedly, one of the members - Sebastian Krawczuk (bass) is leaving the motherland. The band has been working with different musicians and has finally turned into a trio (alt sax, git, dr). Occasionally, guest musicians are appearing with the band (recording sessions, workshop, concerts with Hasse Poulsen, Peter Friis Nielsen, Christer Irgens-Moller, Kumi Wakao - new CD of trio Wakao/Zaradny/Piotrowicz was released). New compositions are characterized by open form, decided way of creation and strict esthetic. European, contemporary, experimental and improvised music associate within the musical regions that STUCKONCEILING is frequenting. Owing to developing contacts with many European musicians, the trio are climbing up from level to level of initiation. The crew are playing many concerts in Polish towns. Excerpts are: AvantgardeAriergrade Festival (Insko), Music of The End of Century (Dierzoniów), Hardcore Festival (Katowice), Jazz Mondays in Theater Kana (Szczecin), Muzyka z Mozgu Festival 2000. From the beginning of the existence of the band, Robert Piotrowicz (1973), the managing person and the author of the compositions, has been styling the musical image of the band. Starting from dissonance without loading harmonic styles, he is experimenting with all kinds of articulation techniques. Using mechanical preparation and electronics he is focusing on creating sounds and tones that are untypical for electric guitar. He is member of art group OFFicyna Place of Art, also he organizing series of concert in his hometown Szczecin and small tours for improvised/experimenal etc music. Anna Zaradny (1977) after experiences with various music styles (classical music, big band, rock, jazz) has chosen extreme treatment of instrument. Saxophone is her field of exploration. She's interested in improving nontraditional techniques. This instrumentalist is absorbing the attention by thunderous and dynamic expressionism. She is the band's business card.
