🪞 DANIEL SZWED
Solo for drums and electronics by Polish musician and co-founder of BNNT and HISS COLLECTIVE Daniel Szwed. In his current production, released as his solo debut album SUN'S MOTHER (2024) on the Instant Classics label, Szwed sometimes wraps aggressive play on a minimalist drum kit in grainy, drone-like layers, while at other times he touches on quasi-metal forms and balances on the edge of techno, noise, electroacoustics and industrial.
