I can say that the album ‘It’s not too Late' was created by chance. A few years ago together with Lisa Gerrard we visited a synagogue in a small town one hundred kilometres from Cracow, Bobowa. When we entered the synagogue Lisa started to sing. It appeared that the place had spine-tingling acoustics. I said to Lisa: ” let’s try to record something here”.

The rule was simple: I prepared themes and we recorded live performance. Lisa heard what I was playing for the first time during the recording and she improvised. We recorded nine compositions in 45 minutes. It is supposed to be a holiday joy.

Six years later I returned to the material we recorded and decided to finish it. What is left from the original recording is the voice of Lisa. I composed and recorded everything else in my studio. Dominik Wania played piano, Magdalena Pluta - cello and Jerzy Głowczewski- saxophone. That’s the way the album ‘It’s not too Late’ came into being.

We live in the most dangerous time since the Second World War. Lisa Gerrard and I want to tell you about the world we share. Our weapon is music. It doesn’t kill, it resurrects, and it brings hope to life.It's not too late.
