Żywiołak
Żywiołak is an artistic adventure of enthusiasts and explorers of the mysteries of Polish spiritual culture that has been going on for almost fifteen years. It was started by musician Robert Jaworski – then known for his work with folk staple Warsaw Village Band, among others – who, alongside Open Folk guitarist Robert Wasilewski, weaved threads of Polish folk demonology, Slavic folk music and the madness of experimental musicking. These foundations have led to a deeply idiosyncratic and recognisable sound. Their stage setup has included a hurdy-gurdy, rebec, guile, lute guitar, acoustic bass guitar, flutes (classical, modified quena, baritone flute), five-stringed and baritone violins, traditional drums and percussion instruments, as well as vocal techniques including white voice and throat singing.
