Polish folk-avant ensemble rebuilding Sielanka’s lost repertoire
This is acoustic, ensemble-led music with strings, brass, clarinets, tuba and drums moving between village tune memory and free improvisation. The repertoire is built around Tadeusz Sielanka’s music, so expect folk material reframed through long-form collective playing rather than a straight historical recreation.
Radical Polish Arkestra sits in the line of Polish folk-research projects tied to Wacław Zimpel’s wider Radical Polish work. Unsound describes it as a research outfit and an arkestra, and names players from Lautari, Odpoczno and the Polish improvising scene, which tells you this is a serious deep-dive into folk, Hindustani links and avant-jazz form.
