Change in the position of the manager of Symphonic Theater of Dreams and Sinfonietta Consonus

Official statement English/Polish [Change in the position of the manager of Symphonic Theater of Dreams and Sinfonietta Consonus / Zmiana na stanowisku menedżera Symphonic Theater of Dreams i Sinfonietta Consonus]

I would like to announce that Ms Wioletta Jedynak does not perform the duties of the manager of the Symphonic Theater of Dreams project and Sinfonietta Consonus orchestra any more. She also does not represent any participant of all the current and future artistic events. The decision was made on the 26th October 2014. The reason for such a late announcement is the need to wait for the settlement of all the outstanding matters related to the previous projects created in cooperation with Ms Wioletta Jedynak. Some issues still need to be completed, however, Ms Wioletta Jedynak is only in charge of the decisions which were made before the 26th of October (inclusive).

An extender and official statement regarding the search of a new manager of the Symphonic Theater of Dreams project and the Sinfonietta Consonus orchestra is going to appear on the official website by the end of February 2015. By the time of the appointment of a new manager I will hold the function of the manager myself. If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to stodproject@gmail.com . The e-mail address manager.stod@gmail.com is temporarily suspended until the previous user, Ms Wioletta Jedynak, passes the access to it.
Michał Mierzejewski,
the creator of the Symphonic Theater of Dreams project and the founder of the Sinfonietta Consonus orchestra

Oświadczam, że Pani Wioletta Jedynak nie spełnia funkcji menedżera
projektu Symphonic Theater of Dreams oraz orkiestry Sinfonietta Consonus i nie reprezentuje żadnego uczestnika wszystkich dotychczasowych oraz nadchodzących wydarzeń artystycznych. Decyzja zapadła 26 października 2014 roku. Powodem tak późnego oświadczenia był czas oczekiwania na uregulowanie zaległych "tematów" powiązanych z poprzednimy projektami, które powstały przy współpracy z Panią Wiolettą Jedynak.
Niektóre sprawy nadal wymagają regulacji, a Pani Wioletta Jedynak ponosi odpowiedzialność za wszelkie decyzje podjęte do 26 października (włącznie).

Rozszerzone, oficjalne oświadczenie w sprawie poszukiwań nowego
menedżera projektu Symphonic Theater of Dreams i orkiestry Sinfonietta Consonus pojawi się na oficjalnych stronach do końca lutego 2015. Do momentu powołania nowego managementu funkcję menedżera będę sprawował ja.

about release:  

"Some years ago when I was working on various projects I got to know the music of a band called HAKEN. My musical friend Marc Papeghin shared one of their songs on his Facebook wall. After some time he also created a music video for it.
Meanwhile, I was getting familiar with their work. It’s hard to put everything on a timeline now, but around the time when the Symphonic Theater of Dreams: Symphonic Tribute to Dream Theater record was released, I began to wonder whether SToD should be a tribute only to Dream Theater.
One year after the SToD premiere I decided it shouldn’t.

Every day we come across new albums of different bands. Sometimes we feel that this particular record is something marvellous and perfect for you at this particular moment of your life. It’s like a ‘revelation’ which can change your life on this particular moment completely. This happended to me with HAKEN, with their three albums at the same time. When ‘The Mountain’ was released, I listened to the first track ‘The Path’ for the first time and I was blown away. I created something like a short tribute or a demo track and later I began to fully experience all their back catalogue. Haken is a great musical discovery for me. They are one of my my favourite bands at the moment. An interesting thing is that we decided to record a single in the studio in an extremely short period of time. We had only a month to organize the recording session, complete the entire cast of the orchestra, book the studio, the sound engineers and the film crew.
 
We are planning to make a full album - A Symphonic Tribute to Haken (the fans have already voted for the tracklist ). However, we decided to release a single first so that it would become like a trailer for things to come. The making of a full album will have to wait longer because we need a budget for this (the profit from the sale of this single will be donated to the production of the entire album). It isn’t easy to do, so please be patient.

It was with great pleasure to orchestrate ‘PREMONITION’. HAKEN is incredibly melodic in it’s genre, that’s why it’s a big challange for me and eveyone involved in writing this piece of symphonic music. I am also very fortunate to have the possibility to write for such a large brass section. I hope I managed to capture the magic of this beautiful song. The recording of this single was a great and short adventure which turned out to be the prelude to the recording session of a full album of
A Symphonic Tribute to HAKEN.
 
I would like to thank all our crew for getting together in this short period of time, their wonderful dedicated work and huge passion for music. I invite you to listen to ‘PREMONITION’. "
