Paweł Mykietyn - "An Album Leaf"

London Sinfonietta's May Music Stream: 151,242,333 by Cezary Duchnowski

This is a recording of the world premiere, captured live in concert at Sonic Explorations, Kings Place on Thursday 20 October 2011.  Performed by David Alberman (violin), Tim Gill (cello) and Sound Intermedia (electronics).

Cezary Duchnowski's 151,242,33  was commissioned by the London Sinfonietta, with generous support from the Adam Mickiewicz Institute as part of the Polska Music Programme.


This work use special tools for algorithmic composition created by composer in max/msp. The tools helped to prepare original pitch and rhythm system for this composition. The main rules descend from 3 lists of numbers included in the tittle. In this way there are 96 modes in the composition. They are presented with an assigned expression in short movements. I have found that in this context mathematics is the most poetical and abstract inspiration for composition. Music is emotive when it is devoid of non-musical contents.

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.

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.

In 2006 his work Anaphora VI won the 4th Prize at the International Rostrum of Composers in Paris in the young composers category. The same year, Lament – Anaphora VII won the 2nd Prize at the Tadeusz Baird Young Composers’ Competition, organised by the Polish Composers’ Union. Anaphora V for cello and computer represented the Polish Radio at the International Rostrum of Electroacoustic Music in Rome (2004). Two other works, Res facta and Four Dances with Prelude, represented the Polish Radio at the 3rd Palma Ars Acustica in Berlin (2015). Sławomir Kupczak's Halny for electronics and improvising flautist, performed by Ewa Liebchen, was recommended by the 66. International Rostrum of Composers (2019), held in San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina.
