Words can comfort and make you sad. Motivate and discourage. Give hope and kill. Words mean so much. Let us use them wisely.

BROKEN WORDS

The cycle opens with a piece bezdeń. Bezdeń, that is, what has no bottom, an abyss, depth. Starting the composition in the middle "soft" register of the piano, I slowly move my hands away from each other, creating a kind of a sonic "gap". The tone of the piece takes on more monumental and extreme colors as time passes; on one hand, you can hear more and more weight and darkness (left hand), on the other, the composition resonates with brighter colors, it evokes hope (right hand). Along with the expanded register, the harmony becomes richer, which in the course of the piece has no clear pursuit. It is unpredictable, undefined. Suddenly it awakens, motivates and then unexpectedly covers up with shadow and disturbs. At the end, the left hand, as if convinced by the awakening register of the right hand, jumps to high tones. The composition is crowned with a vivid consonance of "reconciled" hands, distant from the dark depths, giving hope.

In this piece, I "see" two dolphins - sea mermaids. Reconciled, communing with each other on higher levels of the ocean basin. Repetitive harmony, rhythmics, chord decay time and pauses give a feeling of peace, reconciliation and happiness. I think that happiness and the joy of life have a lot to do with calmness, the right time to "fade out", silence. Happiness is silence of the mind

The sea trilogy is crowned with sea waves. Agitated, churned, clumsy. Just like young animals playing with each other. With this track, I cross the border of the sea-bottom and come up to the surface. The waves are a breath of the new, the fresh. It is the joy of live. A breath of air. It is a rush full of motivating energy and salutary movement. Because movement is life.

You run away
You keep running away
In the past and in the future
In what’s no longer there
And what may come
But it won't come
It’s all projection
Your fear and your anxiety
Don’t be afraid
Don’t run away
Stop
Look
You are here
Here and now
Stop
You are here
NOW

My piano interpretation of the song "To my tworzymy historię" by Miro Kępiński from the polish movie "Furioza" directed by Cyprian T. Olencki.

Miro Kępiński - To my tworzymy historię (piano rework by Piotr Zalewski)

Time?
What is time?
Does it exist?

We flow like time 
Time, it blows our mind
We never give up  
Time never stops
We sometimes fall down
But we always flow like time

TIME

I used to have so much guidance
Knew my direction
But then winter came
Hid my road under its blanket
Put a veil over the road signs
Left me blind and deaf
Whats left for me to do, but keep moving
And keep my blood running
To stay warm

Let s go on
Every step right or wrong
I will keep on moving
Every step to enjoy and learn along the way

Why should you strive for tomorrow
And don't take your eyes from it
You will miss what's now

Let s go on
Every step right or wrong
I will keep on moving
Every step to enjoy and learn along the way

I used to have so much guidance
Now for the first time
I see snow

Let's go on
Every step right or wrong
I will keep on moving
Every step to enjoy and learn along the way
Lets go on
I like it so much when I feel so strong
I will keep on moving
Every step to enjoy and learn along the way
