Framauro : Named after a surname of 15th century Yenice astronomy!

My World Is Ending is the second album from the Polish band Framauro and the debut album Etermedia was released in 1998. Framauro is the brainchild of Ryszard Kramarski. On My World Is Ending Kramrski is joined by three skilled musicians from Polish band as Millenium, tRKproject and Lonlypark. Framauro (the name of the band comes from the name a surname of 15th century Yenice astronomy Fra-Mauro) was established in 1996 in Kraków, Poland by Ryszard Kramarski and his cousins – Stach Kramarski and Tomasz Pabian.

Framauro makes music with melodic guitars, symphonic/celestial keyboards, 60’s style keyboards, bass, drums and vocals. The vocals are sung in Polish. Musically they might be compared to fellow Polish band Collage.Through Framauro and the release of Etermedia in 1998, Kramaski founded Lynx Music. Shortly afterwards, Framauro was shelved and the bands Millennium and later The Ryszard Kramarski Project (tRKproject) were formed.FF

Says Kramarski, «As mentioned above it was almost 24 years ago, when Framauro had its debut album Etermedia released on Lynx Music. That amateur LP was recorded just for fun on an 8-track cassette recorder in a small living room, and it was never ever meant to be officially made public! Things turned out differently, however! Only because of that very album, the Lynx Music studio & record label came into existence! Because of that album, the two bands Millenium and tRKproject were founded! I can safely say that it was the album which totally changed and shaped my entire professional career and life».

«Recently, I have become aware of this undeniable fact, and that is why I have again decided to bring my first music project Framauro to life! Framauro’s latest album titled My World Is Ending is a very emotional and personal journey across my life, combined with some observations on the condition of the contemporary world. The aforementioned things are the reason why I have felt ready, for the first time in my life, to sing everything on this new album with my own voice, so – apart from the keyboard and guitar pieces I am playing here – you are going to hear my vocals, as well».

«The lyrics, based on my ideas and several initial lines, have been written by Zdzisław The Bat Zabierzewski, who coincidentally happened to translate into English the words of my first song called Ecosong in those brilliant days, 24 years ago. To these new recording sessions, I gladly invited my good old fellow musicians; therefore Grzegorz Fieber (Loonypark) has come in on drums, Krzysztof Wyrwa (Millenium) on a bass guitar, and all guitar solos have been played by Marcin Kruczek (tRKproject). The front and back cover painting has been designed and created especially for this album by Marek Szczęsny».

«Mix and mastering by Kamil Koniczniak ( Moonrise ) ».

«This new Framauro is a 100% studio project, and – who knows? – it could possibly be just a one-off music adventure, couldn’t it? Or, maybe, this project will come back and around regularly, do you think? As usual, time will tell. A hearty howdy to everyone. Premiere 3th January 2022».
