about
Alters are a band formed in 2006 in Warsaw. They blend in their music the sound of guitar psychedelic music from the 70s, synthesizer music from the 80s and electronic experiments from recent two decades. Refined electronic, psychedelic seventies and gitars. Hipnotic spacious dynamics. ALTERS music alternates freely between the opposites, one moment full of energy, rich with dissonances and polyrhytms, throbbing with drums and enjoying improvisation, the next it switches into frozen plateaux exploiting every single note with uncompromising precision. The band consists of two multi-instrumentalists renowned for their rendition of early music, former students of the Academy of Music in Cracow (Zalewski&Zalewski) and an academic teacher in Academy in Fine Arts (Pludra). The juxtaposition of their artistic ways of expression results in their concerts entering the realm of audio-visual spectacles. The influences of such bands as Floyd, King Crimson, The Doors, SBB, Flaming Lips can be found there but the musicians are also well acquainted with counterpoint techniques, Stockhausen's experiments and contemporary innovations introduced by such artists as Aphex Twin or Steve Reich. Conscious administering the doses of rhytm escalation and combining that with intricate subtle melodies places ALTERS in the musical avant-garde. This is progressive rock of the 21st century. Band Members: Paweł Zalewski - vocal, electric guitar, bass, keyboards Piotr Zalewski - vocal, bass, synthesiz
