Masecki is well-known for presenting classical music in an extraordinary way (extraordinary places, instruments, interpretation). He advocates treating classical music as a rightful element of modern music scene and not just as an exclusive museum display.

During Freedom Games 2014, he will present “Antykrystyna” project. It is a duet: Marcin Masecki playing keyboard instruments and Macio Moretti percussion instruments. The project was inspired by a press release found by Tomasz Wolszczak, informing about a new place in Warsaw – a coffeehouse combined with scrap yard called “Pod Arkadami” (eng. Under Arcades). The music is an excellent duet, a mixture of everything the musicians have listened to and selected elements of what they have not yet heard. Their concerts are spontaneous and energetic.
