CHROMOSOMOS
are an instrumental band that goes beyond the boundaries of
jazz, ethnic music, jungle or progressive rock. It was set
up in 1999 by drummer Artur Dominik, who has been involved
in projects in the alternative, rock and jazz scenes and who
has cooperated, in a number of folk groups, with musicians
of African, Jewish and Balkan origin.
The experience of long years of cooperation with musicians
rooted in diverse cultures and with bands of various styles
allows Chromosomos to create their own musical space with
a simultaneous use of most interesting forms.
The Chromosomos project combines the musical variety of European
and Middle East cultures with modern trends in contemporary
instrumental club music and adds to it a characteristic and
original jazz flavour.
Among the band's inspirations you can also trace the influence
of contemporary electronic music that leaves its mark on the
rhythm section which experiments with the drum'n'bass, jungle
or house sphere juxtaposed by a trans-fashioned multi-part
rhythmic division within an irregular meter.
The classic acoustic structure of the band contrasting with
the use of digitally generated sounds as well as electronic
processing of the sounds of acoustic instruments gives Chromosomos
an unmatched tone.
