Folk, Noise, Electronics, Improvisation – how can radical music help us manifest new possibilities for thinking and imagine new ways of organising community through ritual behaviours, actions and languages?

Adam Gołębiewski describes how he has extended the drum kit to include mysterious and unusual objects; outlines the pleasures and difficulties of collaboration; and reflects on his recent performance at The Oratory Abbotsford Convent for Liquid Architecture’s Ritual Community Music series.

Adam Gołębiewski is an experimental musician, composer and musicologist who uses drums and self-made objects to explore the basic characteristics of sound: volume, timbre, register and time, as well as their relationship to the performer’s body.
