sumbuk Strange, marvelously strange, in a rock sort of way. You really need to hunt down the video of this performance; it's worth it. With many thanks to Kivius. :-))

about

Karbido’s The Table is a world-class musical project, an out-and-out instrumental avant-garde that proves that an unlimited imagination poses no limits to music.

A piece of furniture – a table – is transformed into a potent musical instrument capable of playing everything from ethereal percussion and jazz to heavy metal. Using strings, bows, coins and wine glasses as well as fists, Karbido produces an exciting, original and innovative performance.

The composition key elements of the performance stand for the four directions compass presented in the order:
EAST | SOUTH | WEST | NORTH

Each part has different sound characteristics, it has also different range of musical reference. Exotic, windy-steppe ethno and maximal sound reduction, that refers to the Zen culture, meet in the “East” with Polish folk song and traditional song from the central Poland. Dynamic rhythms of the “South” invokes the culture of the Dark Continent, South America and Antipodes. The “West” is an energetic collage of industrial motorics, film themes, and songs of modern entertainment. The “North” dissolves all the acoustics in transparent, sea ambience, drops repetition, grating sound of the wood and breathing occurrences.

"An extraordinary musical spectacle."
THE TIMES

"Superb!"
THE INDEPENDENT

"I promise you will never hear a version of The Stooges' "Now I Wanna Be Your Dog" quite like this one."
THE FINANCIAL TIMES

"Awesome, manic or witty. If it's difficult to imagine, that's because you'll never have seen or heard anything quite like it.
