Julia Biłat – Cello, performance
Zuza Jasinska – vocal, effects
Simon Jermyn - bass guitar with effects
Incense burning: Eucalyptus, Dittany
Experience an evening that combines two distinct musical worlds in a double set.
Julia Biłat expands the cello solo concert into a full-body performance, blending sound, movement, and voice. Moving between improvisation and composition, her work creates intense, emotional sonic landscapes.
Zuza Jasińska & Simon Jermyn present a dialogue of voice and bass. Zuza, a vocalist and composer, blends folk-pop intimacy with jazz inflection and the fearless spirit of experimental improv. Her evocative voice is met by Simon's intricate and sensitive bass work, creating a sound that is both delicate and powerful.
A curated incense blend accompanies the performance: fresh, clarifying Eucalyptus and the rare, traditionally purifying Dittany (Burning Bush). The botanical smoke deepens the sensory atmosphere. Note: the incense may be irritating for people with respiratory sensitivities.

Eucalyptus
Dried eucalyptus leaves emit a fresh, camphor-like, invigorating scent. Traditionally regarded as clarifying and purifying, the smoke is associated with clear breathing, mental focus, and energetic cleansing. Because of its intensity, only small amounts should be burned; not recommended for people with asthma or small children.
Dittany (Burning Bush)
A rare and protected plant once used in traditional smudging practices. Its aroma is spicy-bitter with citrus and camphor notes. Dittany has long been considered purifying, protective, and mentally sharpening, used historically to bless spaces and ward off negative influences.
