Motto to the upcoming Populista Winter Triangle came about on 13th of December 2014. 

It was cold and windy, a typical Warsaw-style pre-winter day, wet, transparent and grey, well, mostly grey, and also the day of Richard Youngs' concert in Komuna// Warszawa at Playback Play. Almost by accident, there was a piano in the room which made Richard propose to perform "Parallel Winter" which I didn't know anything about. When introducing the piece to the audience a couple of hours later, he mentioned playing it only few times before that day. It takes something between 15 and 45 minutes to perform, I remember him saying, because there are as many lines of the text as there are winter days. So it is all about going through the piece, I still recall his voice, not unlike going through winter. 

I have never heard a better introduction to Winterreise by Franz Schubert.
