MODES OF APPRECIATION
Jonty Czuchwicki founded the jazz fusion collective 'Modes of Appreciation' with guitarist Dominic Brinkley in 2019 after becoming interested in modal improvisation. Like Coltrane and Hancock before them they set out to explore these concepts, aiming to gain a further understanding on Eastern and Western music alike.
Envisioned as a revolving door of collaborators, Czuchwicki and Brinkley enlisted Lachlan Vormwald (Bass), Mahran Majid (Keys), Lucy Makowski (Saxophone) and Steve Pan (Synthesizer) to perform on their debut four track - simply entitled 'EP 001'.
Following 'EP 001's release in 2021 the band followed up with the release of 'Suketh's Storm' in 2022.
COBRA
Jonty Czuchwicki co-founded three-piece progressive metal outfit Cobra in 2012. The band performed live from 2014 - 2018 including an 8 date international tour of East Java, Indonesia a 4 date national tour of Australia and a 2 year-long residency at South Australian venue Ancient World.
Cobra's debut record 'Locking Tusks With Creation' was released in June 2020 and features a dynamic audiovisual experience. As the sole remaining member and custodian of the project, Jonty donates all proceeds from the project to Amnesty International.
Jonty's creative, technical and ferocious approach to heavy metal drumming remains a hallmark of the band.
CZUCHWICKI
Left-field electronica, ambient, house, techno and other beeps and boops...
CZUCHWICKI is a solo musical project from Jonty Czuchwicki, who has crafted a surreal audio-visual experience drawing on the motifs of monoliths and abstract worlds. Each song is an expression of subconscious thoughts, feelings, memories, and sensations imprinted into music.
CZUCHWICKI launched the project in 2021 with the 'Reoccurring Dream' EP and unveiled his live experience, the PHOSPHENES AV show, in 2023. CZUCHWICKI promoted the work with shows in Spain and Australia before releasing the accompanying EP in 2024.
