Czajka & Puchacz + Gianluca Elia

Czajka & Puchacz released their first, predominantly acoustic album Bivališča in July 2020 and followed up with a retro-avant-pop single of their alter duo Kiebitz & Uhu a year later. Since the second release, which explored experimental songwriting within a field of existentialism and abstraction of daily life, the pair has continued exploring ways to merge instant songwriting with the aesthetics of European school of free improvisation and the idiom of musique concrete present on Bivališča.

Gianluca Elia works in the experimental music scene in Copenhagen, performing noise and developing software instruments for local Artistic Research practitioners, acting as a link between aesthetical and technical practices.

The three musicians met in Denmark. Over the past six years, Gąsiorek and Elia have been collaborating closely in groups such as Boys Cry, E/I, and Perfect Volume, among many. Moreover, Elia recently developed a software to enable Draksler to involve microtonality in her (solo) piano practice. This performance will be near first concert they attempt as a trio.
