dak ~ ['dʌk 'tɪldə] emerged from the collaboration between David Borges, Damian Marhulets and Kostia Rapoport. As a live-electronic trio they realize music projects, improvisation concepts & contemporary music performances.

dak ~ ['dʌk 'tɪldə] puts its special interest on creating a particular form of improvisation with electronic instruments. Making use of both vintage synthesizers and modern digital instruments and computers, dak ~ creates a musical context between old science-fiction sounds and new digital music. Further aspects of its work include performances of historical compositions for electronic instruments (for instance – K. Stockhausen, “Kurzwellen”) and collaborations with other artists.
