The Sirkis-Bialas International Quartet

A fresh new collaboration between Israeli UK-resident drummer/composer Asaf Sirkis [ Lighthouse trio (ACT), Gilad Atzmon, Tim Garland, Larry Corryel, John Abercrombie & Asaf Sirkis trio] and Polish vocalist/composer Sylwia Bialas. 
With an emphasis on band interaction and sheer joy of playing, this band celebrates music from both collaborators, covering a wide range of influences such contemporary classical music, Polish folk, South Indian & Middle Eastern music as well as a wide range of dynamics – from the most delicate ballad all the way to high-energy electric virtuoso lines and everything in between. Expect soulful melodies, ‘aerospheric’ sounds with strong grooves ; full colour electro - acoustic jazz with an ethnic touch and some uncommonly used instruments and sound effects.
