Michał Gos was born in 1974. In his sound experiments he employs not only percussion and quasi-percussion sets but also amplified objects such as chairs, ash-trays, barrels, and clothes hangers.
He began his career on the alternative music scene in Gdańsk,
performing with various rock and jazz groups. In 1997 he started to collaborate with the clarinetist Jerzy Mazzoll; initially they performed in the rhythmic section ‘Arhythmic b&’, later in a new line-up in ‘Arhythmic Perfection’. At the same time he was invited to join the ‘Diffusion’ group, in which he performed as both musician and actor in Wrocław, Olsztyn, Leipzig and Warsaw (Centre for Contemporary Art, Warsaw Summer Jazz Days ’99).
He has collaborated with such musicians as Noel Akchote, John Edwards, Trey Gunn, Tomasz Gwinciński, Andrzej Izdebski, Peter Kowald, Jacek Lachowicz, Jacek Majewski, Pat Mastelotto, Wojtek Mazolewski, Piotr Pawlak, Tomek Szwelnik, Assif Tsahar, Mikołaj Trzaska, Ryszard Tymon Tymański, and Olgierd Walicki.
He has performed at numerous festivals including ‘Malta’ in Poznań, ‘Yass-no’ and ‘Feta’ in Gdańsk, the Gdynia Summer Jazz Days, ‘Przystanek Woodstock’, as well as ‘ArtGenda’ in Stockholm and skif in St Petersburg.
He currently focuses on two projects realized with the Warsaw guitarist Andrzej Izdebski: ‘Sonus Akrobata’ and Boys Band Trio.
