Doministry
Dominik Strycharski

Composer, Blockflute player, Vocalist, Improviser, Performer, Writer
I see and take music as a complete way of living.
This idea is not only mine, it's supported by the experience and constant exploration.
Music works in life. It can reach every possible aspect.
We always choose a role in the society, a position, and a perspective of perception.
Interpretation
My way is basically the sound. But the consequences are endless, I don't stop walking.
I come from Bytom, Poland.

Pulsarus Futurejazz Trio

Organic Panic/Zgas/Klemm/Zadara/Kos/Jan Peszek/Raduszynska/Soltysik/Wojtek Waglewski/Maciej Malenczuk/Zgas/Mazurkiewicz/Pieronczyk/ Trzaska/Melba Kolektyw/Michael Schumacher/Julien Hamilton/Andrew Drury/Gwincinski/Mazzoll/Bolesto/Gendos/Dickaty/ Zralex/Trifonidis/Frantz Hautzinger/Kostas/Dziemidok/Zemler/Pe8er/Max Klezmer Band/Kazuchisa Uhichashi/Teatr Akt/ RhPlus/DJ HiroSzyma/CueFx & Band Fx/Zimpel/Sawik Rutkowski Duo/Nucleon/Piotr Rachon/Martin Harmony/
And many others
I play solo concerts and performances in various situations as DOMINISTRY.

Composition
This is the activity which is still in development and preparation. Is's quite important part of my work.
My works of this kind were not published nor performed yet but many has been conceived for educational purposes and preparation process.
Scores to follow soon.
Some of my compositional concepts start to live in parts as my theatre music work,
and also here you can listen to the ideas:

Wholistic Improvisation
Brother/sister of compositional process. One of the main methods of my work.
This method is highly dynamic and always fresh process.
Using the experience and dynamic, self upgrading work method, it's able to resolve almost any music need.
The idea is to follow individual "spirit" while aknowledging the moment, situation, and a place.
So in the end new music is created, yet always pointed at a target.
I use any possible tool to construct music this way. It can be highly complex noise structure or plain hiphop beat.
