Polish Night Music is a collaborative studio album by the Polish–American composer Marek Zebrowski and the American director and musician David Lynch. It was released in 2007 on David Lynch Music Company.
Marek Zebrowski and David Lynch met during the International Film Festival of the Art of Cinematography Camerimage in Łódź, Poland. Lynch originally hired Zebrowski—a Polish–American—as a Polish-language translator during the production of his 2006 feature film Inland Empire, part of which was shot in Łódź. Zebrowski and Lynch discussed the concepts of experimental music and freeform improvisation and their mutual interest in both. Lynch subsequently invited Zebrowski to Asymmetrical Studio—Lynch's home recording studio in Hollywood, California, United States—to collaborate on a series of musical experiments.
Polish Night Music was recorded at Asymmetrical Studio in Hollywood over a two-year period between 2004 and 2006. John Neff, with whom Lynch released his debut collaborative album BlueBOB in 2001,engineered half of the recording sessions and Dean Hurley engineered the remaining sessions; Hurley conducted additional field recordings in Poland in winter 2006. The album was edited and mixed by Hurley, Lynch and Zebrowski.
The sessions for Polish Night Music were "initiated by Lynch with a narrative fragment, an image cluster intended as a sort of mental focus plane" around which Lynch and Zebrowski would improvise; Lynch performed on a Korg synthesizer and Zebrowski performed on a Yamaha piano.
Polish Night Music features freeform improvisations composed by Zebrowski and Lynch. Zebrowski's performance has been described as adding a "formal complexity" and central musical structure to Lynch's "tonal fabric".The Guardian described Polish Night Music as an album "that bypasses the sounds of groaning monsters and creaking cellar doors and instead conjures fear in its eerie atmosphere."
