With a name that means "movement," MOTYK is a band that never stands still. Emerging from the legacy of the legendary Dutch group Flairck, they redefined their path with a fresh name and a bold new direction after their symbolic debut album, Back Alive! (2020).
The music of MOTYK remains mainly of acoustic and instrumental nature, however always pushing the limits of specific genres and styles.
MOTYK are:
Joris Vanvinckenroye - Doublebass
Pablo Ortiz - Guitars
Anouk Sanczuk - Violin
Zhazira Ukeyeva - Violin
The traveler.
Motyk is also the name of a traveler.
He is a mysterious character. Sometimes a migrant, sometimes a refugee, he can be an expat, an exiled, a business traveler, an explorer, a tourist, an adventurer, a vagabond, a circus performer, perhaps a troubadour...
The group's shows and albums are in fact episodes of all his adventures.
