User:Matej3212/White Place (band)

White Place is a Slovak four-member band originally from Prešov, Slovakia. The music of the White Place is based on well-thought-out arrangements of multiple rock and experimental aspects. The arrangements reflect the experiences of the band members who all have a musical background. Apart from frontman Daniel Jenčo, the band is composed of three members: Stanislav Čorej (bass guitar), Mário Jenčo (guitar, synthesizers, drum machines) and Lukáš Fabian (drums). After three years of rehearsing and experimenting with recording techniques, the band emerged in 2019 with their debut album titled “Room” and single “Breathe”.

The name of the band refers to an unrestricted creative environment. According to Jenčo, white color is the most semiotically potent because it naturally contains all the other colors on the spectrum.

Members
Daniel Jenčo plays keyboards, guitar and is the band's main songwriter. He states that the inspiration for the lyrics to their first album is mostly drawn from the literature of psychology and sociology. Jenčo graduated in Media Studies and is now studying at conservatoire as well as teaching guitar at art school. He is a former member of a pop-rock band Noble Apocalypse where he played alongside Matúš Džuňa, Šimon Dulovec and Lukáš Fabian. After Dulovec had left, the band split up and Jenčo was invited to join the project Micro-Mused, a three-man Muse cover band where Jenčo's keyboards, guitar, and vocal skills were highly appreciated. As of today, Daniel Jenčo is an active member of the creative studio Cube Art. Besides working there as a cameraman, the Cube Art studio incited Jenčo to pursue the music composition for film.

Stanislav Čorej is a long-time drummer and the founding member of a Slovak pop band Komajota. He is a former member of the band Nuda, the predecessor to Komajota, as well. Currently, besides being dedicated to White Place and Komajota, Stanislav actively pursues his new solo project Poloľudia. In White Place, he plays the bass guitar and is the man behind the production of the band's debut “Room”. The final mix of the album was created in his Prešov based studio.

A multi-instrumentalist and a singer Mário Jenčo, Daniel's brother, is the driving force behind the electronic sound elements of White Place. Besides drum machines, he plays guitar, synthesizers and performs the effective backing vocals. Mário is the frontman of the not presently active Slovak space-rock band Frequency. During his time in the band, Frequency recorded and released two albums. Mário is also pursuing his own avant-pop solo project Jeseň.

The drummer Lukáš Fabian is an active member of Prešov based indie-rock band No Brake. He is studying at the Košice conservatoire along with the Jenčo brothers. Lukáš and Daniel were both members of the Noble Apocalypse and have been coplayers for the longest time amongst all of the band members.
