Tercet Imperial

Oberek reframed with synths, drum machines, vocals

Based in Warsaw, Poland

FolkExperimental electronic

Tercet Imperial turns the Polish oberek’s 3/4 pulse into something electronic and wide-screen. Expect folk melody lines, drum-machine patterns, synth washes and Joanna Sztucka’s voice and movement shaping the set around a repeating circular dance feel.

More about Tercet Imperial

The trio formed in 2024 around Piotr Zabrodzki and Jan Emil Młynarski, both veteran multi-instrumentalists. Unsound says they’re reading the oberek against a bigger folk story that links Poland to Africa and Asia, and their debut album is Prymat.
