Formed in 2007 in Przeworsk, Poland by guitarist Jakub Zytecki, bassist Marcin Kicyk and vocalist and keyboard player Rafał Biernacki, DISPERSE produced their debut recording shortly after the band's inception; titled ‘Promo 2008’, the recording featured session drummer Konrad Biczak. Inspired by meditation and sounds of nature, DISPERSE found it necessary to record their first proper album in 2009, under the auspices of Paweł “Janos” Grabowski. Their debut LP, ‘Journey Through The Hidden Gardens’, which consisted of nine tracks that “enraptured listeners with the maturity which, in comparison with the young age of the artists, made [the album] even more attractive”, was released in April 2010:

DISPERSE features: Rafał Biernacki - vocals and keyboard, Jakub Żytecki – guitar, Wojtek Famielec – bass and Maciek Dzik – drums
