Stefan Baghiu [Journey Series] Vinyl Only Live @ Z9Daytime October 2023

Magician On Duty Journey Series

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series! On this edition we welcome Stefan Baghiu (@tefan-baghiu) Prepare to immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Ştefan Baghiu, a poetic virtuoso and musical maestro hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Romania. Juggling the realms of academia and artistry, Baghiu, a professor of Literary Theory at Lucian Blaga University in Sibiu, takes us on an extraordinary journey that transcends the boundaries of conventional expression. As a poet, Baghiu penned his debut collection in 2013, weaving words into tapestries that echo the spirit of his homeland. But it's in the realm of music that his creativity truly takes flight. Enveloped in a myriad of projects, Baghiu's sonic explorations revolve around the fusion of minimal and electronic melodies with the evocative verses of both Romanian and foreign contemporary poets. The anticipation builds as Baghiu unveils a magnum opus—an almost 4-hour vinyl-only recording session that promises to be an immersive experience like no other. This session is a testament to his commitment to pushing artistic boundaries and challenging the status quo. The echoes of Baghiu's musical journey reverberate through time, starting with the release of his debut EP under the wings of Ponza Records in 2019, an Italian label curated by Hostox. In 2020, "Maine," released under groove.ro (Abel Soleil’s label), showcased his collaborative genius with Marcu Rares, leaving an indelible mark on the musical landscape. Inunct Music, Verzila’s brainchild founded in 2020, has been the fertile ground for Baghiu's sonic experiments. Three EPs— "Cerulean," "Palimpsests vol. I," and "Palimpsests vol. II"—serve as glimpses into his diverse musical palette. Collaborating with luminaries like Lucide, Octave, Vlad Bretan, MTPS, Jemmi, and Papilla, Baghiu has woven a musical tapestry that spans labels such as NFS, Unknown Series, and Podvodo Records. As Ştefan Baghiu prepares to unleash his 4-hour vinyl-only session, listeners are invited to join him on this kaleidoscopic journey where poetry and music dance together, creating an experience that transcends time and space. This isn't just a recording; it's a sonic odyssey—a testament to Baghiu's unbridled passion for the arts. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!
