Polish-Hungarian flutist and saxophonist Juli De\u00e1k<\/a> has announced the release of her debut album, Brisk<\/em>, arriving on April 24th through Thanatosis Produktion<\/a>. Moving fluidly between classical, contemporary, and jazz tradition, she also embraces experimentation, improvisation and folk influences. Drawing on years of experience across ensembles, festivals, and collaborative projects, her work has long circled around breath and its limits, textures, and the physicality of sound itself. Recorded in a church in Budapest, Brisk<\/em> grew out of unfinished ideas that only revealed themselves fully in performance. Over time, those ideas settled into a cohesive body of work, influenced as much by listener response as by De\u00e1k\u2019s own evolving instincts. The album also leans into the physical limits of the instrument and the body, with breathing at the core of it, both as technique and as sound.<\/p>\n

De\u00e1k had already unveiled two magnificent singles from the record, the title track and ‘Tamed’. Both offer a glimpse into Brisk<\/em> from different angles, tracing the contours of an album that invites close listening. Here they are.<\/p>\n
