About Tomasz Stanko Dealbhadh Pacaideachaidh Albaim

'S e dealbhadh pacaideachaidh albaim a th' ann an Tomasz Stanko Polish Radio Sessions, a chaidh a chruthachadh airson cruinneachadh de 39 clàraidhean nach deach fhoillseachadh roimhe, a chaidh a dhèanamh eadar 1970 agus 1991. Anns an fhoillseachadh tha sia clàran vinyl, eagran meanbh-chlàir agus leabhran 48 duilleag le dealbhan tasglainn agus beachdan pearsanta. Tha an dearbh-aithne lèirsinneach stèidhichte air co-dhèanamh clò-ghrafach dubh is geal a chaidh a thogail bho litrichean sloinneadh a' cheòladair. Tha sia còmhdaichean ag ath-mhìneachadh aon motif agus a' cruthachadh iomlanachd mhodalach. Tha am pacaideachadh air a chlò-bhualadh ann an offset agus air a chrìochnachadh le lannachadh neo-ghleansach.
