A.M. Samurai - is a synthdance project created by Marek Adamczyk. The future composer and creator of electronic music was born in 1975 in Poland. Marek became interested in music as a young boy. The beginning was laid by piano playing sessions for the whole family (on an old Liegnitz exhibit from 1905). Later he became interested in computers. The impetus in this direction was the famous ZX Spectrum. Marek with his help began to take the first steps in electronic music, but was limited by the sound capabilities of the processor. Later he equipped his computer (Timex 2048 at that time) with two AY-8910 sound chips.
But Marek didn't stop there. He began his serious musical growth in 1999 as a DJ in the Qvo Vadis club, located in the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw. The music he presented was very extensive within the field of electronics. Moreover, at an early stage, more attention was paid to the style of Dance Group Energy. Since 2000, Marek has been collaborating with AXIS Records (now Alpha Centauri). By that time, he had created the tracks "Welcome To Space", "Exploration" and "Cold Memories". And 4 years later, the song "Welcome To Space" was published on the MP3 compilation "AXIS Megamix Vol.1 (Chocolate Cookie Edition)".
In 2005, Alpha Centauri released an MP3 compilation "Alpha Centauri Megamix", on which the track "Exploration" was published. In the same year, Marek was awarded the second place in the Spacesynth Contest nomination for the track "Star Of Happiness". 2 years later , this work was published in the collection "Spacesynth.de Contest TraxX".
Along the way, Marek began a collaboration with VM-Rexor in the creation of short films. This gave rise to the idea of creating the first video clips for their tracks. There was enough musical material for a full-fledged album. In addition, he created music and news material for the site www.sandra.org.pl as well as advertising for the well-known anti-virus program Arcavir.
However, there were many factors that stopped the production of his album in 2006. Nevertheless, after signing a contract with Spacesound Records, the work began to boil again in earnest. The composer was armed with a PC with a Sound Blaster Audigy card and a midi-masterkeyboard along with various tracker software. The first contribution along the way was a Chilli-out remix on Depeche Mode with the title "The Things You Said". In 2009, this track was released on the "VA - Synthesizer Tribute To Depeche Mode" compilation. Various vocalists helped the composer, among them were Monika Adamczyk, Aneta Antkowicz, Daniel Pettersson. He also worked with session guitarist Henry.
In March 2009, together with vocalist Aneta Antkowicz, work began on creating a video clip for the song Game 42, which served as an announcement of his upcoming debut album "The First Element". Actually, on July 10, 2009, it was published. By the way, in the same year the single Game 42 was published, which can be downloaded for free on the artist's website.
The composer's future plans include, first of all, the arrangement of tracks in the Spacesynth style. Although he is no stranger to slower tracks like Enigma and Schiller. Moreover, in the near future Marek intends to create an album in the style of Chill-out. At the same time , the composer uses equipment that includes:
• PC Core2Duo E8200 2GB RAM
• Soundcard ESI Juli@
• Microphone AKG Perception 200
• Microphone amp. Joemeek ThreeQ
• Dual controller Behringer BCF-2000
• Keyboard MIDI CME UF-5
• Amplifier Musical Fidelity Elektra E10
• Speakers B&W DM-602
• Headphones Beyerdynamic DT-250
In addition to musical creativity, Marek is interested in graphics, tourism, photography, loves mountain biking and modern dance.
