INFORMATION ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

THE CORMORANTS - a musical formation considered to be a legend on the Polish alternative scene. Authors of amazing artistic and musical happenings, masters of theater and film music. The group was created spontaneously and it has developed in its own mysterious direction. The Cormorants never fit into any classification, even if for many years they mainly created music for various theatrical performances. Though The Cormorants’ music is principally derived from theatre and performance art, it has never been just a simple background for the action on the stage. In and of itself, it is so vivid and ingenious that it is suitable for placement in an art gallery as 'independent sound images without a frame', or 'shape-shifting musical sculptures', or 'sensory installations'. Another parallel is 'music for a film, without a film', because it is the music which evokes the images and tells the stories. These unusual qualities are the result of the unique cooperation of the company's composers and performers, who for over 25 years have been sharing their joint explorations and experimentations. Regardless of the context in which one would like to place their music, The Cormorants have the power of enchanting with sound.
