for voice, 14 strings and electronics

recordings created for the first-ever vinyl record released by the National Museum in Warsaw, titled Naturceare. The record features two compositions: what field whispers by Agata Zemla and Uhtceare by Katarina Gryvul, both drawing inspiration from the works of Józef Chełmoński. Nature, especially the depiction of wild birds in Chełmoński’s paintings, served as inspiration for Agata Zemla and Katarina Gryvul, who composed their pieces for the National Museum in Warsaw.

In Uhtceare by Katarina Gryvul, the sounds of birds awakening to life can be heard. They are imitated by instruments, enhanced with electronics, vocalizations, and extended performance techniques. This is a classically structured yet sonically modernized piece that evokes feelings of nostalgia, solitude, and mortality.
The album title, Naturceare, is a
neologism...

vnutrishn"o

for bass flute, bass clarinet, percussion, e-guitar, cello, dbass, electronics, dancer and light

By blending ancient and modern elements, traditional and technological aspects, we can forge new expressions and deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world. Duality, the interplay of opposing forces or ideas, is fundamental.
Butoh dance delves into the human psyche and body, transcending language and rational thought. It connects us with something primal. Technology, in contrast, extends our control over the world, allowing us to interact innovatively.
Despite seeming incompatible, Butoh and technology create a potent synthesis. Butoh embodies raw emotion, physicality, and the present moment, while technology emphasizes rationality, abstraction, and data manipulation. Together, they surpass individual limitations.
