Last year, in the middle of a concert tour my entire luggage was lost on a flight from Ljubljana in Slowenia to Frankfurt. The airline "Adria Airways" wasn´t really helpful in finding my suitcase. Communication with them was a nightmare and when the luggage was finally declared "lost" it took weeks to be compensated. In the end they only reimbursed half of the lost value.....
A letter of complaint was sent several times by e-mail and twice via postal mail. I never got a reply.
This saga of corporate indifference and incompetence inspired me to ease my pain through dedicating a song to "Adria Airways".
Feel the love and spread the news!

String quartet ''Shreds of sleep''
Performance during Warsaw Autumn 2011. In my opinion till now the best performance. 

Program Note 
Composition ''Shreds of sleep'' (Strzępy snu) is located between dream and consciousness. A feeling of necessity of action clashes with oneiric world of sleep. Finally it becomes an obsession.

Technique aspects are focused on multivariate analysis and processing of 6-sounds theme. I used gold and silver ratio between pitches. I always work on pure frequencies, before I start writing.  In addition, in the middle part of this particular work, I transformed a melody by connecting each pair of sounds, and make chords with sums of their frequency.

"Hyloflex αβ" for string orchestra and electronics (2007-09)
10 vln, 4 vl, 4 vc, 2 cb | comp

Performed by:
Orkiestra Polskiego Radia w Warszawie, Rafał Janiak – conductor, Paweł Hendrich – computer

Recording, mix, mastering:
Ewa Guziołek-Tubelewicz

The name of the work could be translated as "built from curves". This title reflects the main idea of the composition, which is about a permanent lack of vertical consonances, although the pitch material is homophonic. Any "upright structures" are curved, "points" are scattered, creating a complex texture. Articulation and dynamics are subject to similar movements. These elements, similarly to the pitch and rhythm, move asynchronously in relation to each other, creating crescendos, diminuendos, modulating the tone of string instruments.

Commissioned by ZAiKS The Polish Society of Authors and Composers.

Hyloflex αβ

Hyloflex αβ (2007-2009)

"Diaphanoid" for flute, clarinet, voice, piano and string quartet (2010) 

Performed by:
Orkiestra Muzyki Nowej, Szymon Bywalec - conductor, Kuba Badach - voice, Elżbieta Woleńska - flute, Michał Siciński - clarinet 

The idea of the piece is hidden in the title of the composition. Greek word diaphanēs means „transparent”. Greek suffix -oid means an item, which resembles a specific object or has a particular characteristic (shape, form, appearance, etc.). Thus the title can be translated into “something clear” or “something lucid”.
