Press-kit:

Adam Gołębiewski (PL) – experimental drummer, musicologist, doctor of arts. He uses percussion and objects he has created, with which he examines the limits of the basic characteristics of sound: loudness, timbre, register and time, as well as their relationship to the performer's body. This language is characterized by simplicity and a clear, direct address to the listener. The sound material and articulation techniques that bring it out are both realistic and abstract. He has performed and recorded with many world representatives of experimental music, including: Yoko Ono, Thurston Moore, Kevin Drumm, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Mats Gustafsson, Ken Vandermark, John Edwards, Sharif Sehnaoui, Mazen Kerbaj, Pierre Jodlowski.

Witold Oleszak (PL) - started learning music at the age of 5. After years of formal education (classical piano) he dropped out of school, performing as a member of para-theater and avant-rock groups. These experiences influenced his artistic development the most. From 1989 he studied architecture (he is a certified architect), at the same time continuing to study the instrument on his own. At that time, he created works-illustrations for alternative theater and concepts for graphic scores. He usually plays the grand piano, prepared piano, instruments of his own construction as well as devastated and damaged ones. Both in music and in life, he is fascinated by everything that is ambiguous and undefined. For the last decade he has been totally devoted to free improvisation. In 2021, he returned to writing graphic music and performing composed music. Maciej Lewenstein, in the book "Polish Jazz Recordings and Beyond", wrote: "He is an absolute revelation: his playing is a kind of mixture of John Cage and Cecil Taylor styles, taken to new horizons".
