Not only did she sing on the soundtrack, but she also made an appearance in one of the episodes. The recording took place in Dublin two years ago. The information must have been kept secret till now for fear of spoilers for the show, which is one of the most viewed productions worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
AMJ, teamed up with Song of the Goat Theatre, improvises on a melody that was written specifically for the series by composer Maciej Rych\u0142y, with Gaelic lyrics by Alicja Bral. Anna is accompanied by Rych\u0142y on siersze\u0144ki (a type of bagpipes) and the theatre\u2019s songster \u0141ukasz W\u00f3jcik, under the directorial tutelage of Grzegorz Bral. The audio recording was captured by Tadeusz Mieczkowski at S4 Studio in Warsaw. The video footage was recorded at film studios in Dublin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNothing in my life ever happens by accident,\u201d says AMJ. \u201cIn 2014, enthralled by the international Song of the Goat theatre formation, I asked its creator Grzegorz Bral if I could join his crew for a workshop. Consequently, I was drafted for half a year\u2019s worth of rehearsals and a month\u2019s worth of a very intensive work at Fringe Festival in Edinburgh. An amazing time in my life, a time of coming back to white singing and living in a commune (we were living and working together all the time). It was there, at Fringe, where the \u2018Return to the Voice\u2019 oratory, with Maciej Rych\u0142y\u2019s fantastic music, was recorded by BBC\u2014 and it was specifically that recording that, unexpectedly, after two years, caught the eye the creators of \u2018Vikings\u2019,\u201d adds Anna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AMJ reported to the team work because it has always piqued her artistic interest. Her solo performances limited to two songs, where she could wholly demonstrate her style of singing, which is based on the ultimate freedom of improvisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe news of the invitation to make an appearance in the show found me far away from the memories of my collaboration with SotGT. Apparently, Michael Hirst, the originator of \u2018Vikings,\u2019 saw the documentary about us that BBC made at Fringe. It happened two, maybe even three years after Edinburgh. I was just finishing studio work on \u201cUlotne,\u201d my album with Branford Marsalis. Shortly after, I got on the plane to Dublin and made my way to the film shoot with Maciek Rych\u0142y and Grzegorz Bral. It brought back the memories of Fringe in Edinburgh and half a year\u2019s worth of rehearsals in Wroc\u0142aw. What an intensive and fascinating chapter in my life, it was. Grzegorz is a charismatic creator, he had a crew of versatile artists\u2014songsters, yogis, acrobats, dancers, and actors at the same time. Never before had I met more talented and universal artists. Every day I learned from, and got delighted by, them. Maciej Rych\u0142y wrote poignant songs for 12 songsters. We played \u2018Return to the Voice\u2019 at a cathedral in Edinburgh for a month, virtually night by night. I had never worked that intensely, I would never have thought I could have such a cast-iron larynx and strong psyche\u2014because it was really powerful stuff, that play. After a month of such work, I realized my true strength,\u201d recalls Ania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo the news of \u2018Vikings,\u2019 I reacted enthusiastically, but I react enthusiastically to most of the invitations. I didn\u2019t know this show because I don\u2019t have a TV. It was only after my colleagues from the States told me they watched this series (we were just recording \u2018Ulotne\u2019) that I realized it must have been big stuff. The film shoot at gigantic halls in Dublin had stunned me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had never seen such a huge and masterminded production. A hundred people whipping around like a house on fire and twenty or so cameras working imperceptibly. And that production cycle!! The recording took place two years ago, and we already knew we appear in an episode which will be aired in December 2019. It had felt so abstract back then. As we\u2019re talking today, I\u2019m on tour at the Blue Note clubs in Asia,\u201d ends AMJ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
AMJ is currently on tour in Japan and China. Next spring, she embarks on another tour with her premiere project \u201cThe Expanses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only did she sing on the soundtrack, but she also made an appearance in one of the episodes.
