Description
With Osmetnica Electronica Niewte, Baskak has created personal, up-to-date music drawn from archaic Polish idiom.
"Niewte—subversive mazurka unit. "Niewte" ('other way') — folk dance call, triggering change of direction. We learn village music straight from the source, from folk masters. We are fascinated by timbral-emotional phenomenons, beyond description, words, notes. We see parallels the flow of a folk party and the pulse of a club night, between meaty fiddles and glitch electronica. The electronics helps stippling traditional rhythms, the variantivity of folk music is transmitted through scratching or light glitching – Niewte seamlessly merges the old with the new." (Katarzyna Ryzel, "Ruch Muzyczny").
