bravo! composer and players for this fantastic piece!

IG Caustic track (p)2023

Every child starts out in a state of oceanic consciousness, a sea of sensation and emotion with no boundaries at all. They cannot tell themselves from their mother, or any other outside object. The ego is essentially a boundary marker, a delineator of the self from every other thing. The development of the ego over time can be thought of as the sharpening and clarifying of that boundary. As we grow into adulthood, and our ego becomes mature, most people lose the ability to contact the earlier oceanic feeling because they cannot drop the acute feeling of separateness created by the ego. They have lost the sense of oneness with everything and are stuck in their “two-ness,” as it were. Practicing meditation, doing inquiry, and other methods, constitute a path for returning to this original undifferentiated state of the mind, at least for some time.

Live electronics with vibrating shells looking at the vitality of eco-anxieties and corporatized blackness fueled by:

"brushes of swiftness of adrenalines,
swirling anxieties,
late night snacks,
burst of laughters/cries,
sweeps of turntables states,
eradication and amplification of blackness,
vibrating collected trophies,
absences of resilience,
sweetness of life,
bent physicalities,
sore braiding fingers."

Disquiet Junto Project 0670: Right of Way
The Assignment: Music for turn signals.

Step 1: Record the sound of a car’s turn signal (or, alternately, use a prerecorded one, for example at freesound.org 7).

Step 2: Improvise on top of the recording of the turn signal with as many or few layers of additional sound as you like, emphasizing rhythm (versus melody or harmony), and retain the original turn signal sound, so it is still audible for most if not all of your finished track

Track "Pomylono Wklęsłość Z Wypukłością" composed for Canti Spazializzati #15 in Wrocław on October 2023, originally performed in octophony.

Strzał w kolano is a solo project that began with a concert in Lisbon back in 2017 and has recently been revived. The foundation of this project is a classical guitar (tuned quarter-tone) connected via a piezo microphone to separate guitar amplifiers. The signals emanating from the amplifiers are given distinct identities through horizontal and vertical processing or static manipulation within the texture of the sounds themselves.

Conceptually, Majchrzak is captivated by grappling with structures that are unstable, necessary, and unattainable—both controllable and beyond control. For him, composing serves as a method for pinpointing the paradoxes within composition, while improvisation tests the resilience of those paradoxes. It is a way of shaking the structure, acts of self-vandalism performed on the evolving grammar of the piece over time. All this in defense of the digressive nature of musical flow.

One Year of Perspektif - VA

Written for string quartet and live electronics, December engages with the virtual, not as the “non-real,” but as an embodied space-in-the-making that emerges as a site of resistance, which accounts for the erased as well as the not-known within what preconditions the political-now as the “real”.

Live electronics activate feedback through over the course of the piece to either saturate or filter certain partials of the resulting spectra, which, together with the signals propagating through the bodies of the instruments as well as the fine-tuned speakers, color the properties of reflection and resonance of the performance space, and portrays simultaneous sonic-temporal images that emerge, articulate, and transform the physical space.

Facing each other, the audience is divided into two groups, and invited to participate in the collective auditory happenings that unfold, while the audience as well as the performers respond to the inner spaces emerging from within.

December is dedicated to the left-wing political prisoners who lost their lives on December 19, 2000 during the so-called "Operation Back to Life" (Hayata Dönüş Operasyonu, in Turkish). The Turkish government carried out this military-grade operation in order to end the prison resistance movement and the ongoing hunger strikes, during which the prisoners demanded that the shift towards a new cell system should stop. Known as the F-Type, this cell system is based on complete isolation of political prisoners. During this extremely brutal and widespread operation, more than 30 prisoners were killed, some of whom were burned alive. Following the operation, 1000 political prisoners were transferred to F-type cells. According to the official reports, more than 400 people, who have since been released, have been suffering from ongoing injuries, both mental and physical. Even today, the government denies responsibility for the casualties. Furthermore, some of the officers involved in the operation have been promoted to higher official ranks.
