Wojciech Blazejczyks music feeds on scientific theories, internet streams and civilization waves or scrap; it sometimes looks like a nerds diary. Full of different colours and fonts, notes, charts, exclamations and underlined words. This diary is the composers reaction to what surrounds him every day.

Global news often appear together with local events, fake facts with perceptual illusions, war strategy with a pacifist message. All of that put in a new music idiom spiced up with a pinch of sound design and rock drive.

This album is part of Klangforum Wiens series exploring the Polish contemporary music scene.

The Klangforum Wien is an Austrian chamber orchestra, based in Vienna at the Konzerthaus, which specialises in contemporary classical music.

Founded by composer and conductor Beat Furrer in 1985, it is run on collective principles, having no official principal conductor. Sylvain Cambreling is principal guest conductor emeritus. Principal guest conductor is Bas Wiegers since the 2018/2019 concert season. The group is often cited as Austria’s leading contemporary music ensemble, and is particularly noted for its performances of music by composers of the German-speaking countries, including Helmut Lachenmann, Wolfgang Rihm, and Hans Zender.

Cezary Duchnowski, although perceived as a specialised composer with consciously chosen specialisation, is very open to extremely versatile activity in the musical field. Apart from absolute music, he’s also keenly interested in relations between music and the word, music and theatre (or rather performance art) as well as visual arts in the wide sense.

Aleksandra Gryka is undoubtedly one of the most enigmatic and fascinating figures of the young generation of Polish composers. She does not comment on her works, does not give interviews, and does not provide critics with an insight into her scores (which even causes the occasional international scandal).
