Prologue by Jimek
After JIMEK’s two inaugural symphonic concerts at the new Szczecin Philharmonic we decided we’ll do one more thing. Let’s open the doors and perform spontaneously, with no tickets, no jackets, but surely with all the strings attached. This goes out to tell you the story of JIMEK’s roots – the place he’s from, his orchestral composer background.
We could have done the most explosive in-your-face debut video, but we didn’t. Let’s start from the top. This is how we begin.
PROLOGUE is the opening track from JIMEK’s the upcoming debut album entitled ‘The Best Of’.
Music composed, orchestrated and conducted by: JIMEK

Redesign of Traditional Hutong in Beijing
Hutong, a word of Mongolian origin meaning water well, is used to describe a lane formed by the outer walls of traditional courtyard houses, usually sharing a well in the middle. Since the mid-20th century, many Beijing hutongs have been demolished in order to make way for new constructions, while others have been designated as protected areas in an attempt to preserve cultural history. Architect Han Wenqiang and his Arch Studio, worked on such an L-shaped neighborhood of a total of 450 sqm, in the Hutong region of the city’s millennium-old East District. And by the first months of 2015, they had transformed a derelict compound of buildings into a new age Tea House where patrons come to enjoy their tea, read, or even have a little dinner.

Spectacular Food Market In Rotterdam
I love the Market Hall (or in Dutch “Markthal”) in Rotterdam! This enormous building, opened in 2014 by Queen Maxima, is home to many little food shops, varying from doughnuts to tapas, and from Chinese food to Surinamese food (Surinamese sandwiches are the best).
A delicious place to visit, and voted by The Guardian as one of Europe’s top ten food markets! When you are in Rotterdam, make sure to visit this place!
