Agnieszka Stulgińska - Chamber Works (2013)

So, for example, Let's meet employs two very heavily prepared pianos and a great deal of alternative playing, but the result is an uncomplicatedly affable dialogue between the two protagonists. Ori is a depiction of organic processes in a continuous stream of interwoven sounds, which sounds like a synthesized tape piece with no readily identifiable instruments, but is not. The creaks and noises of the first part of In Credo are clearly an instrumental depiction of the hubbub of a crowd assembling for a religious ritual, called to prayer by a gong-stroke and inwardly meditative thereafter. “Old River” pays tribute to Lutoslawski, in a flow of diverse instrumental sounds and textures that combine to clearly narrative or pictorial effect. The Flying Garbage Truck seems to be transporting its freight of electronic detritus, assembled from found and synthesized sources, in a busy mechanism of instrumental texture.
