SOUNDkitchen host Pleq

The SOUNDkitchen team are getting very excited as on June 23rd we’ll be welcoming Pleq to the kitchen. Pleq is the solo project of Bartosz Dziadosz, an experimental musician who combines elements of drone, down tempo, glitch and modern classical. He creates his work by fusing together independently synthesized sounds, often incorporating violin, the unexpectedly melancholic sound of a piano and sometimes female vocals.

Somewhere, something falls, something enters, rings… there’s a hissing and pop, like a short circuit on high voltage lines. Carried by a strong focus, Pleq’s style is remarkably consistent, and is often described as Glitch & Melancholy.

For many years Pleq has been appreciated abroad, whilst within Poland he is still regarded as the founder of a niche. He has collaborated with a large number of artists, and is currently working on a new album in collaboration with Pjusk, from Norway, Off The Sky from USA.

In addition to the Belgian label U-Cover, Pleq’s recordings have been released by Databloem (“The Seed” – a duet with Segue), Dataobscura (“Our Words Are Frozen”, 2010), VU-US (”The Fallen Love”) Halbsicht Records (“Lucid Dream”, 2008) and October Man Recordings (“The Lost Beauty”, 2008) U- Cover (” My Life begins Today”, 2010), Basses Frequences (EP “Good Night” 2010) – as a harbinger of the upcoming album “Ballet Mechanic” 2011, Impulsive Art (” Sound Of Rebirth”, 2010) – which for many has become considered the best album of 2010.

A small taster is here and if you like what you hear be sure to come along to the Hare and Hounds on Thurday 23rd June.
