Loki – Wizja Dźwięku is the debut solo album by Polish rock singer Piotr Rogucki, frontman of the band Coma. It was released on March 21, 2011 through Polish label Mystic Production.[1] The album peaked at number 2 on the official Polish sales chart OLiS.[2]
Background and composition
Piotr Rogucki has begun his career performing solo with a guitar, and formed Coma several years later. He has said that he was always planning to release a solo album, to have an outlet for different kind of expression than the one presented while playing with Coma. Loki – Wizja Dźwięku was, according to Rogucki, a "soundtrack to a film that was never created." The concept album tells a story of Loki – an eccentric rock musician and troublemaker, loved by companions and women – from the moment he decides to end his musical career, and follows him through various stages of life, from erotic experiences to falls and tragedies.[3]
Promotion
The album was promoted by the lead single "Szatany". A music video for the song was shot by Mateusz Winkiel in an Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Łódź.[4][5] Music videos were also released for "Wizja Dźwięku",[6] and live performances of "Piegi w Locie"[7] and "Mała".[8]
