Arnaud Krakowka
In January 2010 Nik was approached by Arnaud Krakowka, a gifted French guitarist looking for musicians for the recording of the follow up to his debut album 'Parallel Dimensions'. Soon after they were joined by German drummer Michael Ehré followed by his fellow countryman Corvin Bahn.
Recordings for Antic Journey started in the summer of 2010 and the album was released on the 1st of March 2011. Unfortunately Nik was very unhappy with decisions made concerning the final mix of "Antic Journey" and felt he could not support nor promote the album. He therefore decided to withdraw from the project.

Born in 1985, Arnaud Krakowka started playing guitar at the age of 15. Originally inspired by the classic rock scene from the 60s and 70s he soon discovered classical music. His fascination with the baroque genre inspired him to study musical theory. This self-taught education made him think outside the box of traditional rock music and this open-minded attitude made him blend different styles into his compositions and inspired him to learn to play several other instruments. Besides being a composer and multi-instrumentalist, Arnaud also sings and engineers his own music. Arnaud released his debut album, Parallel Dimensions, in 2009. |
