„Femininity is a song, polyphonic, from the inside of the earth, from the beginning of the world. As ancient as stones, as ancient as the primeval forest, as ancient as the first sound, the first vibration. Femininity is freedom. Femininity is the voice of nature, uncontrollable wildness and gentleness at the same time. Femininity is a beating source. Femininity is a pure celebration of life.
Celebrate with us the birth of new album: Rasti.
Rasti is a record – a girl – who is boldly departing from tradition, and trust in internal, intuitive world. Rasti means grow. Grow girl, grow up, rise to a high pine, trust yourself and your powers, see who you are and how beautiful you are. Dance, sing, breathe and enjoy yourself. Above all, create sounds, sing your own songs, flowing from your spirit.”
ABOUT
Laboratorium Pieśni also called Song Laboratory (world / ethno / spiritual / mystic folk music) is the group of female singers from Poland, created in 2013. Using traditional, polyphonic singing they perform songs from all over the world, mainly: Ukraine, Balkans, Poland, Belarus, Georgia, Scandinavia and many other places. They sing a capella as well as with shaman drums and other ethnic instruments (shruti box, kalimba, flute, gong, zaphir and koshi chimes, singing bowls, rattles etc.), creating a new space in a traditional song, adding voice improvisations, inspired by sounds of nature, often intuitive, wild and feminine.
The traditional songs are often brought from their source – different regions of Poland, Europe and world, by the members of the group – having their unique history and evolving in the course of work. Finally, they are performed in a new form – traditional or enriched.
Laboratorium Pieśni, apart from singing and participation in festivals, is also conducting field researches, in order to find new-old music: trip to Albania – polyphonic songs (2014), research in Kashubian region – funeral songs (2013/2014), research in Lower Silesia region – carol singers rituals (winter 2013). The group is also creating theatre performances, where they are using traditional songs to tell stories about disappearing rites: Pory Roku (Seasons) 2013, Puste Noce - Pieśni, które już się kończą (Empty Nights - Songs that have come to an end) 2014.
