Kurpian Songs & Meditations is the first fully individual album in Łukasz Ojdana’s career in which he meets...the traditional melodies from the Kurpie region. As Ojdana explains: When considering my musical identity I came to the conclusion that the most inspirational and natural for me are the contents stemming from the cultural heritage ofmy country. Choosing such a topic, despite seemingly being obvious, was not devoid ofchallenges. What I found interesting in Kurpian songs was that due to the limited temperament  of  my  instrument   I   could  not   play  them  in  the  1:1   ratio. 

The  traditional performance   of   these   melodies   uses   the   scale   consisting   of   quarter-tones,   which   are impossible to get from a conventionally tuned piano...The aura of the music, resulting fromthe highly refined scale, along   with   its   compliance   with   my   harmonic   language   has multiplied my fascination with this subject - the pianist summed up.
