SILVER ROCKET is the name of a music project led by Mariusz Szypura - songwriter, multinstrumentalist and music producer, previously the leader of Poznan-based Happy Pills. In 2001 Happy Pills suspended their activity and Szypura went on to contribute to Blimp, at the same time working on his solo project - Silver Rocket. He recorded and produced the "Electronics for Dogs" LP (2002) and "Astronauts Diary" EP (2003) himself. Both records met with enthusiastic reviews, treating listeners to a blend of acoustic sounds, subtly infused with entrancing electronics. Silver Rocket's impact on the Polish music scene was so significant that when work began on the next album titled "Unhappy Songs", various artists exploring both the indie, as well as intelligent pop genre became involved in the project. The album TESLA, a concept album inspired by the life of Nikola Tesla, is not only musically beautiful, but also visually stunning, with the cover design evoking classic turn of the twentieth century art typical for the period in which Nikola Tesla lived and produced his greatest inventions. The instruments used on the record are also unique and include the theremin, invented at the beginning of the 20th century, as well as the flute, trumpet and violin, all run through vintage analogue tube gear dating from the 1960s or processed entirely digitally, resulting in a vivid mixture of sparkling pop/psychedelic tones and sounds.
