Laboratorium Pieśni uses traditional, polyphonic singing. They perform Ukrainian, Balkan, Polish, and Belarussian songs, as well as Georgian and Scandinavian ones, and many other. They sing the songs of the world a cappella, as well as with shaman drums and other ethnic instruments (such as the shruti box, bells, percussion, flute, kalimba, bowl, gong), introducing into traditional songs a new ground for vocal improvisation, often intuitive, wild, feminine, inspired by the sounds of nature. The source material undergoes a journey of sorts: the songs are usually brought from different regions of Poland, Europe, and the world by group members, then they are being worked on during a workshop process and on rehearsals to finally get its new shape – one that is traditional or one that is enriched, re-arranged. The band has received the Triton Award for the greatest artistic personality of the Festival at Fama (Świnoujście).
