Artur Zagajewski \u2022 […]!<\/h2>\n
Requiem Records, 2025<\/div>\n

The album “[…]!” is a project situated at the intersection of contemporary, chamber, and experimental music, combining voice with instrumental ensemble and electronics. The musical layer is based on contrasts: dense textures and sparse, almost ascetic passages in which timbre, silence, and tension play a crucial role. The instrumental parts often operate on the threshold between sound and noise, while the voice functions both as a carrier of text and as a sonic element.<\/p>\n

The thematic focus is on liminal experiences: transience, loss, and the desire for freedom, present more as an emotional undercurrent than as a literal narrative. The work as a whole forms a cohesive, dark sonic story about memory and disappearance.<\/p>\n

ZYGMUNT KRAUZE \u2022 CONTEXTS<\/h2>\n
DUX, 2024<\/div>\n

Zygmunt Krauze’s “Contexts” is a monographic album featuring the work of this distinguished Polish composer, which broadly reflects the rich and diverse panorama of 20th- and 21st-century chamber music. It features works from several periods of Krauze’s work \u2013 from his early work, reflecting the style of French modernism, to his most recent works, written in 2022-2023. The album was released by DUX. The performers are Sp\u00f3\u0142dzielnia Muzyczna Contemporary Ensemble\u00a0 and Zygmunt Krauze, as soloist on the piano. The recordings were made in the concert hall of the Gra\u017cyna and Kiejstut Bacewicz Academy of Music in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, and were recorded by Krzysztof Sztekmiler.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n DUX <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

PLAYGROUND CALL FOR SCORES IN CONCERT<\/h2>\n
2023, wydanie w\u0142asne<\/div>\n

This is a CD document of the first edition of our flagship project, in which we annually invite composers to engage in genuine, close, and intense collaboration. The album records the first of two concerts in 2022, where we presented the fruits of this vibrant collaboration\u2014with Alex Vaughan (Australia), Fabio Machiavelli (Italy), Rachel C. Walker (United States), Agata Zemla (Poland), Jug Markovi\u0107 (Serbia), and Hristina \u0160u\u0161ak (also from Serbia). We further expanded the collaborative dimension of the project by creating an original physical object together with Krakow’s Bl\u00fcrbstudio and Drukarnia Kolory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n BANDCAMP <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

MUSIC FOR CULTURE WARS<\/h2>\n
2022, B\u00f4\u0142t Records<\/div>\n

A souvenir from the mid-pandemic edition of the Sacrum Profanum festival. Piotr Peszat drew from a range of then-current or everlasting contexts. He adopted the mechanics of Netflix’s Bandersnatch<\/em> to specifically\u2014quasi-autobiographically\u2014address current social and cultural issues, as well as the herritage of Polish composition. By voting, the audience influenced the course of events; and thanks to the (double) disc, one can imagine all possible combinations and consequences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n B\u00f4\u0142t Records <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

SP\u00d3\u0141DZIELNIA MUZYCZNA CONTEMPORARY ENSEMBLE<\/h2>\n
2021, DUX Recording Producers<\/div>\n

Sp\u00f3\u0142dzielnia’s first fully independent album. It features compositions that shaped the ensemble’s identity and hardened our musical spirit. The ensemble balances one foot in 20th-century classics and the other in sonic and performance experiments. Initiated by the swing of Kagels axe, the narrative leads through the virtuosity of Franco Donatoni, the hyper-energy of Brigitta Muntendorf, the tradition-longing music of Pawe\u0142 Szyma\u0144ski, and the electronic syntheses of Piotr Peszat, all the way to the wild dance of cans and bells in Ricardo Eizirik’s piece. New music here strives for a broad horizon\u2014much like Sp\u00f3\u0142dzielnia itself.<\/p>\n

The project is co-financed by the City of Krak\u00f3w\u2014the Krakow Creative Scholarship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n DUX <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

100 FOR 100. MUSICAL DECADES OF FREEDOM<\/h2>\n
2018, Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne<\/div>\n

A patriotic project. In 2018, to commemorate the centenary of Polish independence, PWM edition released a retrospective musical calendar in the form of a thirty-six-disc box. We received the 2011 card, which featured Jagoda Szmytka’s “Electrified Memories of Bloody Cherries.” Our colleague, Mateusz Loska of the Hashtag Ensemble, joined us on double bass. Kudos to our drummer, Alek, for wandering Krakow’s scrapyards in search of the perfect-sounding anvils and grills.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n PWM <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

OPERA ABOUT POLAND<\/h2>\n
2020, B\u00f4\u0142t Records<\/div>\n

Another patriotic project. Artur Zagajewski, composer of the music for the film Opera about Poland<\/em>, was very supportive from the beginning, and his Mechanofaktura<\/em> became an important part of our repertoire. For the opera itself, the four members of Sp\u00f3\u0142dzielnia joined forces with accordionist Eneasz Kubit, clarinetist Micha\u0142 G\u00f3rczy\u0144ski, guitarist Wojtek B\u0142a\u017cejczyk, and conductor Maciej Koczur. Piotr Stasik’s film, with Artur’s music, is an authentic study of Polishness, in which we were tasked, among other things, with playing muffled music boxes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n B\u00f4\u0142t <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

SOUND CHRONICLE OF THE 60th WARSAW AUTUMN<\/h2>\n
2017, ZKP \/ ZAiKS<\/div>\n

The recording of Shivers on Speed<\/em>, which appears on the album, comes from the documentation of one of our most important concerts. A cooperative in the salons, that is, on the stage of the National Philharmonic in Warsaw. Shivers<\/em> itself is a composition very close to us: its performance built us as a group. The band’s friend Micha\u0142 G\u00f3rczy\u0144ski played the powerful clarinet part.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

AIDAN BAKER<\/h2>\n
2020, Gizeh Records<\/div>\n

In 2017, Krzysztof Pietraszewski came up with the idea of \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bmerging contemporary music with so-called alternative music: rock, ambient, electronica, metal. We approached these diverse trends with a somewhat hesitant approach, carefully discovering the surroundings\u2014and it turned out the road wasn’t far at all. That’s how the “Post Indie Classical” concert at Sacrum Profanum came about, several tracks from which found a second life on post-festival album tracklists. Aidan wrote a good minimal piece that we felt right at home with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n GIZEH <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-537","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/spoldzielniamuzyczna.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/spoldzielniamuzyczna.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/spoldzielniamuzyczna.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/spoldzielniamuzyczna.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/spoldzielniamuzyczna.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=537"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/spoldzielniamuzyczna.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/537\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":542,"href":"http:\/\/spoldzielniamuzyczna.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/537\/revisions\/542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/spoldzielniamuzyczna.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
