Polish guitarist Andrzej Citowicz releases “Fortress Of Solitude”, a groundbreaking single that defies musical boundaries by merging hard rock’s raw power with orchestral complexity. The track represents a cinematic journey where electric power chords collide with sweeping, theatrical soundscapes.
“This song is my inner world made audible”, Citowicz explains. “It’s where the intensity of hard rock meets the emotional depth of an orchestral landscape. Each power chord is a statement, each melodic turn a revelation about navigating life as an autistic musician.”
The single, from the upcoming album “Living Room Rockstar,” showcases Citowicz’s unique approach to music creation. Leveraging AI vocal technology while maintaining absolute creative control, the track features Patryk Szymanski’s thunderous bass lines that provide a dynamic foundation to the guitar-driven narrative.
“As an autistic artist, my fortress has always been music”, Citowicz shares. “It’s where complexity becomes clarity, where internal chaos transforms into structured emotion. ‘Fortress Of Solitude’ isn’t just a song – it’s a sonic autobiography.”
The track represents a profound exploration of neurodivergent experience, transforming personal challenges into a universal musical language. Blending hard rock’s aggressive energy with orchestral arrangements, the single creates a unique sonic environment that challenges traditional genre boundaries.
