Daniel Szwed (PL)
Co-creator of the BNNT collective (with Konrad Smoleński), active in the realm of sound and image since 2008, he is now debuting with solo material. In his explorations, he focuses on a minimalist setup, seeking new textures and colors of sound. He electrifies drums, venturing into technoid forms and metallic afterimages based on rhythm. His aggressive play is sometimes entwined with grainy, droning bands, while at other times it touches on quasi-metal forms. He uses percussion unconventionally, creating reverb, and delves into raw techno and harsh noise music. He balances on the edge of electroacoustics, metal, and industrial, setting his direction with a steady sound and ritualistic form. Together with Patryk Daszkiewicz, Mateusz Rosiński, and Krystian Piotr (LAS), he co-creates the HISS collective-label.
