Viola (+)
Rafal Zalech in his performances puts a strong focus towards new media. His main repertoire is based on pieces written for him (and his augmented viola). Most of the music performed by Zalech uses computer-based live processing, some pieces require a special sound spatialisation (8 or more speakers).

Nimikry
Contemporary Pop
Using classical instruments and reinventing them with the use of technology is the key element of this dynamic band. Nimikry is not just a duo but a playground for innovative music creation. It’s musical aesthetic goes beyond the border of contemporary art and discovers new fields such as experimental electronics, noise-pop, classical remix and improvisation. The distinctive element connecting all these genres into one musical project is the innovative instrumentarium.
