Diffused stone. That might be the closest translation of a title of this work. The piece begins with strict pulsation and develops to the first climax in which all instruments gradually start to play in one of two tempos and in different rhythms. That is for the first time in this composition when solid structure begins to bust and distract itself. Then in the next episode the texture is too complex to hear individual rhythms but what can be clearly audible is that the density of the texture is accumulating. Every wave of the orchestra is stronger and contains more sounds. After this fragment the narration goes back to the more or less clear rhythms, which in a moment will occur in two temporal layers (heterochrony) related in simple ratio (4:5, 3:4). This techniques leads back to the feeling that the texture starts to disperse. Like in the title, the rock is scattered again.

"The compositions from the cROSSFAdE series formally are dedicated to duos, either understood as classically conceived musi- cal ensembles, or in a different way, taking into consid- eration the particular way of dashing against each other two different artistic visions. The field of penetration is an attempt to catch the phenomena on their edges, not as an effect of a compromise but rather a fusion of radi- cal standpoints.”.

 „Permanentne zmiany są treścią naszej rzeczywistości. Im bardziej niepostrzeżenie zmieniają się nasz światopogląd, hierarchia wartości czy gusta, tym mniej złożona, niż jest w rzeczywistości, wydaje się ścieżka przemiany”. Cezary Duchnowski
