Piotr Kurek presents Songs & Bodies

Taking his cues from early and post-medieval composition, baroque and experimental jazz, Warsaw-based multi-instrumentalist and composer Piotr Kurek doesn't shackle himself to the past, instead using experimental digital techniques to propose an uncanny possible future. His music is centered on the human voice – something best witnessed on the theatrical 'Peach Blossom', released last year on Mondoj – but Kurek has an innate ability to dance between the organic and the artificial, smearing his lush instrumentation into expressionistic electro-acoustic portraits on 'World Speaks' and propagating shapeshifting, hypnagogic root systems on the acclaimed 'Smartwoods'. On ‘Songs & Bodies’, Kurek examines the post-rock genre, rebuilding a familiar framework with contemporary tools and finding the beauty in error.
