Kwadrofonik

Kwadrofonik is a polish band. The unusual combination of percussionists and pianists is the only such quartet in Poland and one of a few in the world.Founded in 2006, they perform compositions from the 20th and 21st century. Their music is inspired by composers like Bartok, George Crumb and Luciano Berio.Through improvisation and musical dialogues they exploit the possibilities offered by two pianos and percussion to the maximum. The instruments exchange functions almostimperceptibly – the pianos become percussion instruments, while percussion instruments become the melodic ones.For the arrangement of folk songs performed at the 9th Folk Music Festival Nowa Tradycja (New Tradition) in 2006 the musicians were awarded the Grand Prix, an Award from the President of Warsaw and an award from the public – "Burza Braw" (Burst of Applause).
