"I saw I was I" is an original music piece from the eponymous dance performance by Lukas Timulak (http://www.timulak.com) and Peter Bilak (http://www.peterbilak.com), created in 2006 for Nederlands Dans Theater (http://www.ndt.nl).

The dance creation "I saw I was I" explores the constrains of written language and uses it in combination with specific vocabulary of music and visuals. The piece uses palindromic principles. Accordingly the music itself is a palindrome, constructed of only palindromic elemetnts: the particular sounds, the musical motives as well as the composition itself sound the same when played normally or backwards in time.

Choreography: Lukáš Timulak
Music: Peter Hajdin

I saw I was I

Mistral 30sec

Original music composition from the "20" dance piece, created by Lukas Timulak (http://www.timulak.com) and Peter Bilak (http://www.peterbilak.com) in 2005 for Nederlands Dans Theater (http://www.ndt.nl).
Twenty focuses on a basic element of dance: time. 'How long is a minute, or a single second?' A large clock was built using Philips Philinea light lamps controlled by custom software. The clock functioned as a timer, counting down the seconds of the performance, except that it moved faster or slower according to the movement of the dancers on the stage. This dance piece challenges the expectations of the viewer and explores the dimensions of time and human perception.
For those who care - the whole piece was recorded using only and solely an Ibanez Jem electric guitar. No other sound sources had been used (yes including the drums).

Monsters of Polka

Original music composition from the "Oneness" dance piece created by Lukas Timulak (http://www.timulak.com) and Peter Bilak (http://www.peterbilak.com) in 2007 for the Nederlands Dance Theatre (http://www.ndt.nl).

Rather than adding foreign elements to dance, Oneness focuses inwards and explores the essential elements of dance: the interconnectedness of the dancers, their expressions, and surroundings. Timulak and Bilak focus on the idea that there is no true separation between things. All components of dance remain distinct while being inseparable from each other.

Breathless (NDT2007 edit)

Original music composition from the "Real Time" dance piece, created by Lukas Timulak (http://www.timulak.com) and Peter Bilak (http://www.peterbilak.com) in 2008 for the Slovak National Theatre (http://www.snd.sk).

Real Time is a collaboration between choreographer Lukáš Timulak and designer Peter Bilak. The authors investigate the idea of time, as the crucial element of dance performances, its real and perceived durations. While video is used fairly often in modern dance performances, in Real Time the video is used only in the moments which could not be realised otherwise. The integration of video projection with live dance allows creation of new timelines which are interconnected with coherent choreography. With thanks to Peter Hajdin, for advice and musical composition.
