Darkwood is my experimental piece which demonstrates a use of  different music genres and timbres at once. This is a mix of post modernism, neoromantic and neoclassical styles with some flavor taken from Scandinavian music. It is influenced by composers such as Stravinsky, Sibelius, Rimsky Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Beethoven and Bach.  Most of my inspiration arose from the story plot of the survival- horror video game called Darkwood  and my imagination. Darkwood reflects drama, horror, heroism, pride, faith, hope, death and constant fight at once. 

For me Darkwood is a representation of journey towards unknown dark places, risking and trying to find a  light. If you step into this forest you never know what will happen… its dangerous and dark, but you have a choice to stay there or fight towards the light. I think that there is not easy path in our everyday life,  but it does not mean that the game is over as long as we will fall down and get up to fight for what is right.

The work in this portfolio consists of five short movements, four of which are composed for orchestra using serialism techniques, such as the twelve-tone. The style of the pieces is influenced by Schoenberg and Webern. Works like these could never have been created without the inspiration of my poetry and the story plot of the Shuttler Island movie. 

The last movement of my composition has been posted to my blog. Please find the link below. I hope you will enjoy it!

Modified story plot: 

* ''Escaper'' (Act 1) - tells the story of someone who escaped. Teddy Daniels must find someone to find the truth.

* "Illusion" (Act 2) - Teddy Daniels is experiencing delusions when memories are being recalled. His perception is conflicted as he sees dead people and is plagued by nightmares.

* ''Cold River'' (Act 3, part I) - is an illustration of the full episode of memories in which Teddy Daniels sees his memories and people dead

* ''Cold River'' (Act 4, part II) - When the protagonist realizes that his memories are slipping and he recalls what happened, he must decide whether to accept the reality to escape delusion or to refuse to accept the truth

* ''Distorted Reality'' (Act V) - with regard to the last dialogue, "this place makes me wonder, which would be worse to live as a monster or to die as a good man?'' (Shutter Island, 2010)

We are confronted with confusion and uncertainty through these artworks because we tend to view life through one lens, and we must decide for ourselves what is a correct perspective. As a result, in a world filled with chaos and suffering, we are trapped, and it is challenging to choose the right path. No matter what we think we know or how certain we are, humans will never discover the truth to its full extent. That's why the conclusion, as well as the whole piece, remains uncertain like in a Shutter Island movie.

For the project, I have produced and directed a radio play. This is the soundtrack I composed for it. The radio drama was created to convey what I envisioned as the composition. It aimed to use and compose a piece in modern style to create an atmosphere of exoticism, mystery, fear and dread with the objective of heightening the overall mood of the dark subject matter, which was not possible without the use of a horror-gothic script written by me and a Colombian writer, and teacher Jhonier Gracia-Alvarez. It is titled The Mystery of Westpoint since it is centred on a haunted building called Westpoint, in which the protagonist must face the most dangerous secrets. The protagonist initially does not know what is occurring since she has just moved there. The protagonist does not realize that this is a trap set by the devil to force her to commit suicide and destroy her soul.

Overall, this is a piece for orchestra. The piece exhibits influences taken from the second Viennese school and several hints of Ustvolskaia, Lutoslawski, Ligeti and Stravinsky.

The Mystery of Westpoint

For the project, I produced and directed a radio play. This is my first audio drama as I love to try new things. This radio drama would not be possible without the generosity of these kind individuals who were part of its creation and gave up their valuable time to make this project a reality. Each of us is a dreamer and risk-taker who is not afraid to try new things and pursue our dreams! 

It is titled The Mystery of Westpoint since it is centred on a haunted building called Westpoint, where the protagonist must face the most dangerous secrets. The protagonist initially does not know what is occurring since she has just moved there. The protagonist does not realize that the devil sets this trap to force her to commit suicide and destroy her soul. Throughout the play, the focus should be directed toward the character Otton, who has lost the value of life and used the money to hurt others.

I hope you enjoy this short production. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! :)

Mystery of Wespoint Audio Drama

Let Me Let Go

Sometimes we go through difficult times and we are stepping back. Sometimes we are going back to the past too much, where the shadow is covering the light, however, at the end of the dark road there is still a light. Even if there is nothing left out, the light is there. It is called the power of hope and love.  This is my original composition. Hope you enjoy it ;)

The Stranger With Blue Eyes

This is one of my crazies composition. My first intention was to write arrangement of Beethoven Symphony No. 5, but it led me to discover totally new direction. This piece contains the Eastern-European and Bartok influences.

I wrote it as a part of my manifestation agains the world where people turned up side down a lot of human values. Many of us forgot what really should matters. This piece creates the furious energy to show that no matter what is happening in life , its better to laugh and go through the hell with the pain and smile. It is because we cannot control and influence others people reaction. We only can control our reaction and the way we respond to the situation.

Up Side Down

Sometimes we are lost and we are losing our mind when the dark is coming to our hearts. I think it is because we have too many words to say, but we remains silent. The life is not easy for anyone, but the most hard thing is to be strong all the time.  We always have to choose between  easy or  hard road. Even the easy road is not  complitly pain free. When  we choose harder way there is a huge pain, but the pain do not last forever, greatness does. The decisions are hard, but through the all things we have experienced in past there is at least one good thing from which we can learn a lot. Thus, keep going and never give up.

Unspoken Words

I took an inspiration from Aristotle poetry where he first used the word hamartia, which means tragic flow. 

I think that very often we making the choices which lead us to nowhere and we end up like downfall hero . It is because we are not realising that we are not responsible for everything people did or said in the past, and we  cannot blame ourselves for their actions endless. Mistakes are parts of our life and the most important thing is to learn from it because it's okey to make them. The world is not full of perfect  people, but is full of strong people who became stronger. I think that if  we forgive ourselves first, we could find a good not only in us, but also we could see more good in others.

Trio Sonata In G Major

Kinga Roza Mozdzierz is a young, Polish composer living in Manchester. As a child, Kinga exhibited a very creative mindset. At a very young age, she began experimenting with new sounds of music on her small electric keyboard. After moving to Manchester when she was 13 years old, Kinga began discovering her talent as a composer. The first time Kinga played her music was in small Polish ceremonies held in Manchester. Kinga performed Polish folk songs and her own piano pieces. As a composer, she has primarily composed film music for piano, stringed instruments, and percussion instruments as well as music for orchestra, but she is still discovering new creative ways to create new experimental music.
