When I was 5 my best friend’s brother was in a heavy metal band and that’s when I fell in love with Guns N’ Roses. We sang ‘Don’t Cry’ at our school’s Mini Playback Show when we were 7. We didn’t win. When I was 9 my first original cassette that my Mum bought me for good grades in maths was Red Hot Chilli Peppers ‘Blood Sugar Sex Magic’. I studied Film and Media Studies and became hooked on deconstructing and analysing movies, which lead me to become a movie critic for a major movie magazine in Poland. But my love for music and discovery of post rock somehow took the long awaited lead. Since I arrived in London I’ve been living from one gig to another. One day, through the magic of last.fm, a band called Rumour Cubes invited to listen to them and they eventually lead me to discover Echoes and Dust, a community I’m proud to call family every since. Eventually my passion for photography took over and I have been capturing the scene ever since. You can find me on most social media. Feel free to drop by my website and follow my music-heavy Instagram. You will also most likely bump into me at various independent gigs and festivals – I’m usually the one at the front with the cameras. Come and say hi!

ArcTanGent Festival 2016: Friday highlightsArcTanGent Festival 2016 Photos by Magda Wrzeszcz and Ed Sprake
Caspian absolutely slayed at ArcTangent, despite a technical hicup that saw the stage lose all power just as they were about to let rip, and were widely regarded as one of the standout moments of this year’s festival. Literally 10 minutes before heading off to play they were kind enough to sit down with us for a chat. By Dan Salter
Magda Wrzeszcz saw Roger Goula play at the Cognitive Shift Recordings label launch, which was held in collaboration with Chaos Theory. “Roger Goula instantly became one of my artists to watch and it seems he’s destined for greatness and I wouldn’t be surprised if his name was soon mentioned next to contemporary classical giants like Nils Frahm or Olafur Arnalds.”
