About this Event
OSTRICH BEATS W/ HEAVY RED SOUND SYSTEM PRESENTS
DOUBLE HEADLINE: TYMEK PAPIOR (LIVE) & OLA SZMIDT (LIVE)
"Tymek and Ola make music that hits hard but also sneaks up on you from crazy heavy bass and wild experiments to dreamy, hypnotic vibes. It makes you wanna dance, think, cry a little, and get completely lost in it -perfect for big rooms, big systems, and anyone who loves music that doesn’t fit in a box."

Tymek Papior (Live)
Info: Using an arsenal of prepared instruments, such as a modified drum kit, his younger sister’s harp, a broken accordion, and lo-fi field recordings, Tymek Papior augments his unique acoustic soundscapes and juxtaposes them with heavily distorted, raw digital sounds and synthesizers, combining electroacoustic sound design and improvisation into compositions full of different textures and spaces.
His approach is best heard on his solo albums „Rugs/Carpets” released in August 2024 and „WSPÓLNA SPRAWA LP” released in January 2026.
