Numb

Solitude Quartet is an expressive and multi-layered composition, premiered by the Silesian String Quartet and vocalist Iga Kozacka. Commissioned by NOSPR, this piece is a reflection of the pandemic period and the suspended state of existence it brought, immersing listeners in three distinct emotional realms – frozen moments of introspection and longing.

The work opens with the solo string section in Inferno (Piekło), a movement characterized by rhythmic repetition that evokes the torment of days blending into one another. The piece then transitions to Cleansing (Oczyszczenie), where the music shifts, incorporating a voice that echoes themes of purification and resilience. In this section, the music alternates between English and Polish to enhance the aural texture, matching the nuances of language to the musical narrative.

The final movement, Absolution (Rozgrzeszenie), culminates in an emotionally charged journey, blending acoustic and electroacoustic elements to illustrate a catharsis that is both personal and collective. The movement captures the perseverance and the longing for resolution, concluding with a powerful portrayal of release and acceptance.

Originally planned for a 2021 premiere but delayed due to the pandemic, Solitude Quartet is dedication to the Silesian String Quartet. Premiered at NOSPR, Katowice, Poland  during by Silesian String Quartet and Iga Kozacka.

"When Weapons Fall Silent", commissioned by the Harmonie i Halasy Foundation, draws inspiration from President Zelenskyy's reflections on the silence following conflict. The work explores the charged atmosphere of paused hostilities through minimal, repetitive patterns that gradually build tension.
Percussion drives the narrative, with distant rhythmic motifs echoing like memories of conflict while creating an unsettling ambient landscape. These patterns interweave with sustained orchestral textures, building layers of intensity that mirror the complex emotions of fragile peace.
The persistent rhythmic elements and growing orchestral density create an atmosphere of mounting pressure, reflecting the precarious nature of cease-fires and the weight of uncertainty. The work invites contemplation of the charged silence in the wake of violence, and the collective breath held by those who dare to hope for lasting peace.

Whoa release from Albany native Jah Allah with a new up-and-coming rapper from Iran, Despite the language barrier, the track seems to capture the listeners' attention with its hard-hitting bass and subtle lyrics. In a recent interview, Jah stated, "Music doesn't really have boundaries anymore, especially rap music. It's an international thing, and everyone does it no matter where you are. This is good for me and $¥DKHALIFE because it introduces our listeners to each other, opening up wider opportunities for the future. Stay tuned because we definitely have more to drop." It looks like Jah is on a worldwide mission, so stay tuned for more bangers.

Nous vaincrons ensemble le doute, tous nos fantômes de mort et de peur n'y pourront rien, nous sommes chevaliers de la Terre et chevauchons les mondes imbriqués l'un dans l'autre.
D'un univers sans fin à un monde solide, d'une cage de feu à un nuage heureux, le passage étroit jouxte la lumière de la nuit obscure. Force de renoncement à tout, espace intime et infime de la vie.
La musique est lumière dans les ténèbres, tout est vibration, la fin est mot ou le nom d'une porte, même les murs de la plus dure des pierres sont des voiles légers pour l'âme sur l'étincelle de vie. "original sound paintings " .We shall overcome together the doubt, all our ghosts of death and fear will do nothing there, we are knights of the Earth and are astride the imbricated worlds one in the other.
Of an endless universe to a solid world, a cage of fire in a happy cloud, the narrow passage adjoins the light of the dark night. Strength of renunciation of everything, intimate and tiny space of the life.
The music is light in the darkness, everything is vibration, the end is word or the name of a door, even the walls of the hardest some stones are veil light for the soul on the spark of life..
