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.
