~ tilde 2
~ tilde 2 is a network for experimental music initiated by Polish sound platform Sanatorium Dźwięku, aimed at creating possibilities for cooperation between musicians from the Baltic countries, leading to lasting relationships in the field of culture and developing a dialogue between artists working in an experimental contemporary music context. Over a 3 day period, ~ tilde 2 will invite artists from Poland, Sweden, Norway, and Russia. ~ tilde 2 will be held in three cities, Moscow, Stockholm and Oslo.
This year, the main idea is to foster an environment of collaboration and exchange between artists engaged in experimental music by presenting their work different constellations, formats and ensembles. ~ tilde 2 will invite artists such as Mats Lindström, Marja-leena Sillanpää, Robert Piotrowicz, Anna Zaradny, Kurt Liedwart, Alexei Borisov, Ilia Belorukov, Tomasz Krakowiak, Piotr Damasiewicz and Gerard Lebik.
~ tilde 2 is the continuation of the project ~ tilde, a Polish Experimental Music in Scandinavia that culminated in a presentation of a broad spectrum of electronic and electroacoustic improvised music from Poland. Concerts by artists such Barbara Kinga Majewska, Robert Piotrowicz, Krzysztof Knittel, Gerard Lebik, Piotr Damasiewicz, Martyna Poznańska with collaboration with Lotte Anker, Martin Küchen, Ralf Meinz were preceded by lectures about the Polish Radio Experimental Studio, a historically important collective active during the 60s, and one of the most important nodes of contemporary experimental music curated by Michał Libera.
These artists will collaborate on developing new tendencies of experimental music in important venues like Fylkingen – Stockholm, Наука и Искусство – Moscow, Deichmanske Bibliotek – Olso.
Project curated by Gerard Lebik and Zuzanna Fogtt

Artists
Robert Piotrowicz
Sound artist, composer, improviser.
He has authored radio dramas, sound installations, and music for theatre productions, and collaborates regularly with other artists on audio-visual performances. As an instrumentalist, Piotrowicz works mainly with his own live performance setup, developed around the electric guitar and analogue modular synthesiser. His music has as much in common with contemporary electro-acoustic compositions as it does with sound art. His concerts feature saturated, detailed musical forms created with analogue synthesizers and computers. He has developed his trademark sound of intense dynamics seized in dramatic and balanced structures.
PIotrowicz has released several solo albums as well as collaborations with artists such as Burkhard Stangl, Anna Zaradny, Jérôme Noetinger, C. Spencer Yeh and Kevin Drumm. Other collaborators in recent years included Valerio Tricoli, Oren Ambarchi, Martin Klapper, Zbigniew Karkowski, Łukasz Szałankiewicz, Lasse Marhaug, John Hegre, Kasper Toepltz, Xavier Charles,Tony Buck and others.
Co-founder of the Musica Genera Festival and the Musica Genera label.
