Kury (band)
Kury was a Polish rock group. The band was founded in 1992 by Ryszard Tymon Tymański. Kury played experimental rock music and their style evolved in time towards a more electronic direction. Their album '' P.O.L.O.V.I.R.U.S.'', released in 1998, was a fictional compilation of pastiche songs deriding the condition of Polish popular music.

The last concert was in December 2003, after which Tymański disbanded the group. The last album containing live recordings entitled ''Martwe gitary'' was due to be released in 2008 but never did. In 2011 and 2012 the band played a couple of concerts. '' P.O.L.O.V.I.R.U.S.'' won a 1998 Fryderyk for Album of the Year – Alternative.

Yass (music)
Yass (jass) is a Polish music style of avant-garde jazz which originated in the late 1980s, that mixes jazz, improvised music, punk rock, and folk. The style began with avant-garde jazz musicians from the Tricity and Bydgoszcz, where the jazz club ''Mózg'' became the unofficial 'home venue' for Yass performers, with its own label releasing a number of Yass productions. The term ''Yass'' was coined by bassist and guitarist Tymon Tymański, clarinetist Mazzoll and guitarist Tomasz Gwinciński, who wanted to stress the novelty of the new style. The first Yass album is generally regarded to be ''Tańce bydgoskie'' by Trytony. Though it frequently crosses genres, Yass music can be broadly described as a frequently arrhythmic and highly improvised style of jazz. The most seminal period for Yass was in the 1990s, with many active groups performing and releasing albums, including Miłość Miłość (English: "Love") was a Polish Yass music band. The band was founded in 1988 by R ...

The bass guitar, electric bass or simply bass (), is the lowest-pitched member of the string family. It is a plucked string instrument similar in appearance and construction to an electric or an acoustic guitar, but with a longer neck and scale length, and typically four to six strings or courses. Since the mid-1950s, the bass guitar has largely replaced the double bass in popular music. The four-string bass is usually tuned the same as the double bass, which corresponds to pitches one octave lower than the four lowest-pitched strings of a guitar (typically E, A, D, and G). It is played primarily with the fingers or thumb, or with a pick. To be heard at normal performance volumes, electric basses require external amplification. Terminology According to the ''New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians'', an "Electric bass guitar sa Guitar, usually with four heavy strings tuned E1'–A1'–D2–G2."

Voice
The human voice consists of sound made by a human being using the vocal tract, including talking, singing, laughing, crying, screaming, shouting, humming or yelling. The human voice frequency is specifically a part of human sound production in which the vocal folds (vocal cords) are the primary sound source. (Other sound production mechanisms produced from the same general area of the body involve the production of unvoiced consonants, clicks, whistling and whispering.) Generally speaking, the mechanism for generating the human voice can be subdivided into three parts; the lungs, the vocal folds within the larynx (voice box), and the articulators. The lungs, the "pump" must produce adequate airflow and air pressure to vibrate vocal folds. The vocal folds (vocal cords) then vibrate to use airflow from the lungs to create audible pulses that form the laryngeal sound source. The muscles of the larynx adjust the length and tension of the vocal folds to 'fine-tune' pitch and ...

Guitar
The guitar is a fretted musical instrument that typically has six strings. It is usually held flat against the player's body and played by strumming or plucking the strings with the dominant hand, while simultaneously pressing selected strings against frets with the fingers of the opposite hand. A plectrum or individual finger picks may also be used to strike the strings. The sound of the guitar is projected either acoustically, by means of a resonant chamber on the instrument, or amplified by an electronic pickup and an amplifier. The guitar is classified as a chordophone – meaning the sound is produced by a vibrating string stretched between two fixed points. Historically, a guitar was constructed from wood with its strings made of catgut. Steel guitar strings were introduced near the end of the nineteenth century in the United States; nylon strings came in the 1940s. The guitar's ancestors include the gittern, the vihuela, the four-course Renaissance guitar, an ...
