THE 2021 THEME: PEOPLE!

In a digitalized world, it is worth asking ourselves: what comes first? Idea, composition, production, image, need, promotion, streaming, social media? We want to remind you that the first comes a human being. Man works with music and man receives it. People meet in the art world - professional and private - with specific (or not) goals, needs and experiences.

Panels, workshops and lectures of experts from the wide world of music will touch upon the sense of creation, the value of cooperation and the essence of creating a bond with the audience. Specialists in music, culture, business, psychology and even futurology will reflect together on whether the music industry acts #poludzku (humanly), whether it is transparent and fair. What can be done to make it so? What can male and female artists ask of themselves? What future is best for them? How to take care of it?

#poludzku (humanly) about management, communication and online presence. Consciously about development of audience, image and industry responsibility.
#poludzku (humanly) within Hear the City Showcase and Conference: People! 13 & 14 November 2021 in Krakow at the Proxima Theatre and online

OPENING PANEL: BLACK MIRROR

What is the future of music? Is music still an art or already a product? What would music be without human beings? And is the future of music... people? Without fortune telling, we look into the future.

LET'S PLAY.

Business and music, can you find even more different worlds? It turns out that although business has its own laws, which art does not tolerate (commercialism), there are so many similarities that it is worth taking a look at them and see how the world in which music plays a huge role is changing. During this meeting we will hear how the approach in the business has changed - from "symphony to jazz". We will analyse how bands from The Beatles, Metallica to Marillion operate - that is, we will answer the question - how to adapt to this increasingly complex and changing world.

His passion is events. As an active musician (Kabaret Kabel, Paru, Kowalski), he has taken part in many events throughout the country, visited music clubs, festivals and had direct contact with art agencies. Thanks to this, he got to know events "from the inside", which gave him a great deal of knowledge that I have been using in my professional life for more than 30 years.

Singer, songwriter, WOMAN. For some, a haven of peace, for others, the calm before the storm and a colourful bird. She calls music freedom, treating it as a way to express truth and emotions, as her space. Over the years, she has worked as a choir with stars of the Polish scene, and wrote her songs for the drawer. In 2020, she debuted with the single "Now and here" and, following the blow in 2021, she released the singles "Przemijam" , "Biec" and "Pochyl się miły nade mną", presenting colourful musical renditions from rock'n'roll to the synth sounds of 1980s pop.

In 2021, she released her debut album "MOZAIKA", in which, together with excellent musicians, she shows even more musical colours by romancing different versions of alternative pop-rock.
