This Thursday, March 27, my composition VIVA L’autunno, for string orchestra and electronics (fixed audio track), accompanied by a wonderful video by Remigiusz Wojaczek, will be performed live as part of AV@CMU 2025. The event will take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at the Kresge Theater, located at the College of Fine Art. It will start at 7:30 PM local time. Organized by The School of Music at Carnegie Mellon University.

Yesterday I received information that after the competition for the Gdańsk Cultural Scholarship Creative Fund 2025 was decided, my project entitled Urbs Memoriarum - an audio record of memories of Gdańsk seniors received funding under this program. Urbs Memoriarum is to be a musical composition with documentary features, an audio record of memories of Gdańsk seniors, captured in the form of an electroacoustic impression, combining the musical layer with fragments of the stories of the characters themselves, of course in their own words. How they remember Gdańsk from the past, how it changed before their eyes, what places are particularly important to them, what events are associated with them. The material collected in this way will be used to create a whole, combining the spoken word with electroacoustic music, instrumental parts and field recordings, characteristic places in Gdańsk that are associated with these memories.

On Thursday, February 27, at 7:30 PM, I'll debut as the host of my own radio show, which will be broadcast on Radio UAP. This station is affiliated with the Magdalena Abakanowicz University of the Arts in Poznań, but, of course, it can be listened to from anywhere online. The station’s website: http://radio.uap.edu.pl/, and according to the creators and station managers, it will also be available in standard radio apps. My show, Spotkania w Audiosferze (Encounters in the Audiosphere), will run for two hours, with replays scheduled as well. In general, this is a show about art, with a strong emphasis on music. The format is simple: the first hour will be dedicated to music, while the second will focus on a guest conversation, naturally interwoven with selected tracks.

Accordionist Jakub Stefaniak will carry out the Polish Accordion Works project at the Conservatoire de la Vallée d'Aoste. The task involves presenting accordion music by Polish composers at the Istituto Musicale Pareggiato della Valle d'Aosta. On February 27 at 20:30 in the Auditorium Renato Callisto Arnold my compositions for accordion with electronics, belonging to the cycle Four Sketches for Four Sides of the World, i.e. East and North, will also be performed.

On Friday, February 21, I played an improvised set with Mateusz Klimek in an atmospheric place - Stranger than Paradise – which is located in Gdańsk Oliwa, at 4 Arthur Schopenhauer Street. The place is unique, has a special atmosphere and is really worth visiting.

My music was widely presented during the previous edition of the Radiophrenia radio festival, organized by the Center for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow. After a year and a half, the next edition will take place and, as I recently found out, the program will feature my music again. According to the information provided by the organizers, the full program of the event, which this year will take place from April 7 to 20, should be available in March.
