Ciśnienie (polish for "pressure”) was founded on a simple premise - to try and find the most intense, earth-shattering and mind-bending musical climaxes one can imagine. Stylistically, it’s a blend of post-rock, orchestral music and repetitive jazz, with inspirations ranging from Swans, Fire! Orchestra and Mogwai, to Arvo Pärt and H.M. Górecki. Baritone sax, violin and piano blend seamlessly with heavily distorted bass and frantic drumming, creating uniquely colorful soundscapes and tones - from improvised ambient, psychedelic grooves and classical harmonies to rhythm driven walls of sound. They are currently promoting their new album “[angry noises]”, released September 19, 2025.
As of today, Ciśnienie played over 100 concerts in Poland, Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Croatia, Portugal, Romania and Czechia, including performances at Mystic Festival 2026 (PL), dunk!festival 2026 (BE), Jazz Jantar Festival 2026 (PL), Summer Dying Loud 2026 (PL), Bear Stone Festival 2025 (HR), Czech Music Crossroads (CZ), ESNS Eurosonic Noorderslag (NL), Enjoy Jazz Festival (DE), Festiwal ¿Underground / Independent? 2026 (PL), Avant Art Festival (PL), SHIP Festival (HR), Fonomo Music & Film Festival (PL), Garana Jazz Fest (RO), Hradecky Slunovrat (CZ), Katowice JazzArt Festival (PL), OFF Festival (PL), Soundrive Festival (PL), Porta Jazz (PT), and Rock In Bourlon (FR), ZEZ Festival (HR).
