about

The album Kaktuus by KakofoNIKT is an interpretation and translating cactus experience into the language of sounds. The compositions are arranged as consecutive stages of the contact with the cactus – starting from preparations, peeling it off the skin and spines, going through all the stages of the sensations up to the extreme effects. Kaktuus is the result of experiments with sound perception, methods of improvisation and attempts to evoke peak experiences through music.

Patryk Lichota – laptop, saxophones, prepared instruments
Szymon Mizera – hurdy gurdy + effects, didgeridoo, vocals
Hubert Wińczyk – devised objects, acoustic wave generator, effects, toy instruments, vocals
Tomasz Gęstwicki – live video
