Huge thanks to all contributors, we've reached our goal! Last 2 days to buy up our rewards :) As a small token of gratitude, here is a video of our quarantine live set on "Mladí ladí jazz" festival. Enjoy!

Electronic press kit!

Jun 10, 2020

Dear friends, thank you all for your support, we are very close! Here is our EPK video where we present the evolution of B/Y Organism over the past year:

We can't wait to see you on the official CD presentations July 17th at U Staré paní Jazz&Cocktail Club (preview) & July 30th at Jazz Dock (CD release party)!

We are almost there!

Jun 4, 2020

There are 9 more days left of the campaign and we are very close to our goal! Here are some very important news about the project:

1) Due to some uncertainty about bigger events during the summer we've decided to move our CD release party to a more intimate venue – our favorite Czech club Jazz Dock. The concert will take place July 30th and you can look forward to:

  • both our drummers Petr Nohavica & Utsi Zimring at once,
  • the only ever live performance of our tune FLOW with vocals by Jonathan Ramirez and Allison Wheeler, 
  • visuals by Alexey Norkin,
  • the CD will be baptised by Cuban-Polish singer Yvonne Sanchez and a special secret guest!

So now we also offer an option of seating tickets. Those of you who have purchased their tickets up until today (June 4th) receive a free upgrade to seating.

2) July 17th will be the date of our pre-release concert at U Staré paní Jazz&Cocktail Club. This will be the first chance to redeem your rum / whiskey tasting perk, so don't hesitate and get it! :) 

3) We are starting to work on the final graphic design for the album. Here are some concept artworks and oil paintings by Alexander Yanuta that we offer in the "Art Bundle". Again, don't hesitate!

Massive thanks to all of you, we are so close! <3
