Vincent Kostra – Through the Black Waters, Pt. 2
“The Polish Vincent Kostra floats between traditional classical and Epic sound. Discover a dramatic atmosphere lurking behind those crystal keypads and wind instruments. A track full of volume shifts and unpredictable progression, ideal for curiosity lovers.”

The Polish composer blurs the lines between neo-romantic classical music and modern soundtracks, with a contemporary spin on traditional orchestral music.
Taking inspiration from romantic and neo-romantic artists like Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Mahler, and Prokofiev; film composers such as Wojciech Kilar, and notably avant-garde duo ‘Dead Can Dance’, his sound is a dramatic infusion of diverse influences. Although primarily influenced by the classical world, he will often get in the compositional headspace by immersing himself in trap artists like Travis Scott, resulting in a strong rhythmic influence on his music, whether through percussive elements or melodic ostinatos.
Following his December 2021 debut EP “Certain Misfortunes“, his debut LP album “Gloom&Rhythm” was released on May 9, 2022.
