The album was recorded in Studio S2 of the Polish Radio in Warsaw across several dates in May, June, and July 2015.
Album & Artwork
The album's main objective, conceived by Joanna Freszel (soprano), was to showcase the creative abilities of young Polish composers.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The project aims to challenge the stereotype of contemporary music as hermetic and incomprehensible, demonstrating its potential to be dreamlike, intriguing, and witty.
Compositional Technique
Jagoda Szmytka (composer) creates contextual music for the ears, eyes, and mind, often using electronics, gestures, and everyday objects in her audiovisual compositions.
Performer Biography
Joanna Freszel (soprano) has received numerous awards and scholarships, including a Magna cum Laude medal for the best graduate of the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music.
Composition History
Aleksander Kościów's piece "Slykialan eavvat" is part of a larger song cycle and was commissioned by the vocal sextet proMODERN.
Interpretation
The composers had the freedom to choose their own instrumentation, resulting in each piece having a different ensemble, from solo piano to six instruments or six vocalists.
