KARBIDO - concert on the AKUSTYCZEŃ festival.

KARBIDO

Karbido will present their famous musical show Stolik (The Table). The Table has been originally conceived and produced by the musicians themselves. It is a piece of furniture transformed into a musical instrument of exceptional acoustic characteristics. Owing to technologically advanced system of amplifiers and processors that has been installed in the body of the instrument, every slightest touch is clearly delivered to the audience.

One needs the guts to play Krzystof Komeda's cult Rosemary's Baby Theme on the table. The Wroclaw-based group Karbido, famous for its cutting-edge projects had the courage to do so - the courage and the skills. The Table has been subtitled as A Mapleswish-and-shush. The show abounds in swishes and shushes, indeed, and the attributive adjective maple will obviously refer to the protagonist of the performance, i.e. the table. (.) The show is an hour-long symphony of sounds, varied as to their style and atmosphere from hard rock through African drums and club rhythms to vocally embellished Mongolian songs and Eskimo-like rhythmical structures based on human breath. And, hard as it is to imagine, this is how Karbido plays Hendrix's Hey Joe!"
