Performer Biography
Pianist Małgorzata Walentynowicz, who has been performing Jodlowski's pieces since 2011, is currently the only performer to have all six compositions from the "Séries" in her repertoire.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Jodlowski's preference for sounds reminiscent of indie rock, noise, or free jazz aims to achieve an unprecedented intensity and energy in contemporary composed music, often creating dark and unsettling atmospheres.
Compositional Technique
The electronic component in Jodlowski's "Séries" uses a ready-to-play stereo soundtrack, often incorporating recordings of electric/bass guitar and rhythmic percussion, without requiring a click track for the pianist.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Pierre Jodlowski's music is syncretic and narrative, drawing inspiration from film and literature to tell stories and evoke imagery and emotions using only sounds.
Compositional Technique
Jodlowski's compositional technique is influenced by Sergey Eisenstein's 'montage of attractions,' combining frames with strong emotional charge and distinct aesthetics to captivate the listener.
Album & Artwork
Pierre Jodlowski's "Séries" is an open collection of six works for piano and electronics, each inspired by a specific color, symbolizing an image, film, artwork, or state of mind.
