Dark ethnic and tribal rhythms combined with some heavy dub, oozing the Siberian chill. Improvised surrealistic sound collages mixed in a Dada-like fashion with surprising samples. Slow industrial beats against dense electronic textures. Ritual techno that goes deep to the core of indigenous cultures from different parts of the world. This is all an attempt of using sound to convey the strange and often unexplained phenomena of human behaviour, referred to by medical anthropologists and cross-cultural psychiatrists as “culturally conditioned syndromes”, which occur only in a certain geographical area and within one particular culture. This is the simplest way to describe the idea behind Bang-utot – a new musical venture of Rafał Jęczmyk, also known for his Emma Zunz project. The project’s performances are not just about the sound, as they are accompanied by short lectures outlining the anthropological background to each piece of music.
