Do you like music that goes beyond certain genres? Or do you like stronger stone sounds? In both cases – on this year's Pyrkon you will find something for yourself!
Beltane
Seven extraordinary personalities met to make music together – these words perfectly describe the Beltane group! They are talented musicians who can effectively blur the boundary between folk sound and contemporary trends. From the beginning, their large strength was the natural concerts that were enthusiastically received in various parts of the world. The band has 7 albums, including the latest "OBSERVER" from 2023. The band is presently composed of Adam Romański, Jakub Goldfinch Szczygieł, Jan Gałczewski, Łukasz Kulesza, Adam Stodolski, Spacepierre and Janek Kubek.
Krzysztof GajewskiDuality
The duo Duality was created from the desire to convert the erstwhile music experiences into a bipolar form. Their music is inspired by tunes from the Polish-Belarusian border, planet music and electronic music. They characterize their violin, drum set, electronics and white singing. The duo consists of: Daria Butskaya – violinist, vocalist, postgraduate of the Academy of Music in Krakow and lover of improvised music and Spacepierre – drummer, composer, music maker and founder of many formations specified as MEQ, Beatweens and hippiesK and the pillar of Muariolanza, Beltaine, Krzikopa and Olek Klepacz bands.
Ankh
Ankh is simply a Kielce stone group formed in 1991. The band rapidly conquered the hearts of listeners, as he won an audience award at the stone Festival just a year later. In 1994 they released their debut album entitled “Ankh”, which was first released on tape, and a fewer months later on compact disc. Over the following years, the band has released many fresh albums and played hundreds of concerts both in Poland and abroad. The current composition of the group are Joanna Chudyba, Piotr Krzemiński, Michał Pastuszko, Krzysztof Szmidt and Janek Rusin.
RecographyVeratus
Seven musicians fascinated by medieval and folk sounds – these words perfectly describe the band Veratus, who plays songs from between the 12th and 15th centuries. Members of the band were connected to the planet of old music from an early age and participated in many festivals and competitions. They have many performances in their account both at home and abroad. Their arrangements are made in the Old English, Old French, Old Norse and Latin, which renders the authentic medieval climate. They are unique to instruments created by 1 of the members – Tomasz Czypul, which are replicas from that era.
