ABXY - An audiovisual experiment where electronic music is mixed up with sounds of piano and violin. The sound layer is complemented by live visualS.
Music oscillates between hypnotic compositions related with ambient, and dynamic improvisations, which are often conjugated with the characteristic beat well known from electronic dance music. It is accompanied by abstract visualizations where sound impressions are directly interpreted to the language of light, colors and geometry. The whole performance constitutes an intensive auditory-visual journey.
The project is co-create since 2012 by four artists: Jakub Królikowski, Paweł Ernst, Cheslav Singh and Paweł Krupski.
Composer, instrumentalist. Winner of the Grand Prix and Special award by Polish Culture Television in the third edition of the Niemen Non Stop festival, together with Karolina Beimcik and Maciej Fortuna (2008).
