Ryszard Kramarski's new studio album, inspired by Homer's literary work “Odyssey”, is soon to be out. The action of this epic story, however, has now been transported into a distant future, around the year 9999.

After having conquered Planet Troy, Captain Odysseus sets out on a long journey to his native planet Ithaca to see Penelope, his beloved wife. Eight tracks depict that long trip.

Again it was Zdzisław “The Bat“ Zabierzewski who wrote all of the album lyrics, and the whole project was made real through the participation of many outstanding artists in it; those who are best known from the magic world of progressive sounds.

The songs are sung by: Ania Batko (Albion / Hipgnosis), Łukasz Gałęziowski and Marek Smelkowski (ex-Millenium),

and one special guest of honour - Stuart Nicholson of Galahad.

The musicians invited to this project are connected with popular progrock ensembles, such as Millenium, Framauro, Loonypark and Another Pink Floyd; it is, to name them personally, Marcin Kruczek and Piotr Płonka on guitars, Grzegorz Bauer and Grzegorz Fieber on drums, Krzysztof Wyrwa on a bass guitar and Łukasz Płatek on a tenor saxophone. Ryszard Kramarski, the producer and composer of this music project, nicely added his keyboards as well as his electric guitar and acoustic guitar to the whole thing .

The album cover and the magnificent graphic pictures were designed by Marcin Chlanda .

And it is the first time for tRKproject that its album has been mixed by Kamil Konieczniak (Moonrise).
