In just a week, on Saturday, October 12, we'll play with a great lineup as Radio Noise Quintet (Krzysztof Gawlas, Dariusz Mazurowski, Tomasz Misiak, Marcin Olejniczak, Monika Pich), and it'll be a concert as part of the uroUTOPIA 10th in memoriam Stanisław Franek Festival, which will take place in the Great Hall of the Zamek Cultural Center in Poznań. The entire marathon is scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m., we (according to the plan) should appear on stage at 9:15 p.m. The key component of our performance, filled with improvised music, will be the radio - with all the wealth of stations and noises between them - and all this will be processed in various ways and enriched with electronics. So I invite you to Poznań for the weekend. More information can be found here: ckzamek.pl and here: https://www.facebook.com/events/995445365379544

Last Friday, on El-Stacja radio, in the show Electroacoustic Music, hosted by Marek Kwiatkowski, there was the premiere presentation of my new composition, Waveless Storm, for viola and tape (fixed audio track). I wrote it especially for the excellent violist Krzysztof Komendarek-Tymendorf, with his recording project under the name ALTOTRONICA in mind, which will soon be released on CD (the release is planned for the turn of 2024 and 2025). The main material of the composition were various improvisations recorded in the studio and subjected to advanced processing, which highlighted the sonoristic values ​​of this source. The program Electroacoustic Music appears on the air every month, always on the last Friday. You can listen to the program on radio applications, as well as here: tutaj: https://el-stacja.pl

The next concert from the New Music at the Old Town Hall series will take place on Thursday, October 3 (starting at 7:00 p.m.).

The instrumental part will be performed by the outstanding Italian saxophonist Enzo Filippetti.

On Thursday, September 26, the piece "VIVA L'autunno", for string orchestra and tape (with an excellent video by Remígiusz Wojaczek), will be presented at the Grosso Modo gallery in Tel Aviv, during The Resonance Sound Art and New Music Film Festival. The event starts at 8:00 p.m. The festival features a variety of works that explore the dynamic relationship between music and visuals. Some pieces translate one medium into the other, while others amplify each other's impact. Ultimately, they all create a harmonious and immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional music and visual arts. (quote from the organizer's promotional materials). The entire festival will last from September 26 to 29.

With some advance notice, I'd like to invite you to Krakow on Sunday, July 28, where at the Solvay Center for Contemporary Art (Zakopiańska 62) we will present the theater play "The Death of Kościuszko", which will be the finale of the "chemistry" Theater Festival. The play starts at 6:00 p.m. The electroacoustic monodrama (that's how I called this hybrid form) is our joint work - mine and the outstanding actor Krzysztof Gordon's. We've already had the opportunity to collaborate with each other and have been discussing such a play for a long time. The starting point was the excellent, very lively, expressive text by Anna Bojarska, from the book "Five Deaths" (Krąg publishing house, 1990), which was prepared for the stage presentation by Krzysztof Gordon. With this text in mind, my music was then created, building the narrative of the whole, emphasizing its drama. And so the monodrama "Kościuszko's Death" was born, which also exists as a radio theater (its premiere took place on September 24, 2021 on El-Stacja radio). And now it's time for the stage premiere, of course performed by Krzysztof Gordon (voice) and with live music by Dariusz Mazurowski (meaning mine). We would also like to thank Max Bojarski, the author's son, for giving us permission to use this excellent text. We invite you to Krakow for the show, more information here: https://www.ckpodgorza.pl/oferta/wydarzenie/smierc-kosciuszki

On June 18, at the Loreto Theater in Manhattan (NY), together with saxophonist Enzo Filippetti, I'll perform my composition "And I Woke up at the Darkest Dawn Ever", written for baritone and soprano saxophones with an electronic part. The concert will take place as part of the prestigious New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival (NYCEMF), starting at 8 p.m. local time.

On Sunday, April 28, Radio Gdańsk will present a rebroadcast of the concert from the "aMuz on Radio Gdańsk" series, which took place last Saturday and was filled with compositions for accordion with an electronic track - including two of my pieces also. I had the pleasure of producing electronic parts in all these works, the concert was really interesting, and the performers were young musicians from different countries. If anyone hasn't heard it live and is interested, I recommend it. The rebroadcast can be listened to traditionally on the radio, but also on the internet - either in a browser (https://radiogdansk.pl/sluchaj-online/) or via any radio application.
