Apart from the saxophone, Weronika plays ethnic instruments, such as duduk, ocarina or panpipes, and performs traditional songs.
"Marrying eclectic instrumentation and the quivering "white voice" technique with modern electro-acoustic manipulation, Weronika Partyka invokes a place of longing. Her music gestures to the ancestral rites of an Eastern European folk tradition that is spectral and unearthly, reinterpreting rural Polish music across space and time.
With a sense of deep connection to her Polish roots, Weronika updates the traditional song structures of her country with dashes of musique concrète. A gifted improviser with a rare touch for the saxophone".
