About: Stanko and film - this combination sure does sound like a compelling pairing. Stanko's adventure with movie soundtracks started very early, it was actually his mentor Krzysztof Komeda who first gave him the movie soundtrack bug in early 1960s. And it's no wonder why Stanko's take on the movies inspire such adoration - motion pictures are very often a perfect vehicles to enhance the musical message. Even though early films were silent, but were released with cue sheets or scores so that individual theater houses could play music, recorded or live, at appropriate places in the film - so music has always been important element in the movie even in the era of silent movies! Same with Stanko's music - it exists within the movie, it makes it different, it makes it more important, it makes it better. And in in the same time the same Stanko's music could live outside the silver screen, the music of love and desperation, the music of loneliness, the music of pain and triumph.
